Lot description
Russischer Wald. 1918.

• Expressive, powerful formal language.
• Schmidt-Rottluff's graphic depictions of Russian landscapes were probably first created in Berlin, after his memories of the Russian countryside, which he became acquainted with during the First World War.
• With clear contours, angular and almost geometric forms, Schmidt-Rottluff created a composition with an almost ornamental pictorial language.
