Paul Adolf Seehaus

Kleine Fabrik
1915

Mixed media (watercolour and charcoal) on thin Japan laid paper 55.5 x 40.5 cm Signed and dated 'Seehaus 15' in the depiction in charcoal lower right. - Vibrant colours; professionally cleaned, slight browning on the edges.

With regards to its motif, the large watercoloured charcoal drawing is a predecessor of the later watercoloured industrial landscapes from 1917/1918. In terms of composition and colour, the architecture is intergrated into the landscape in a serene and harmonious manner. The present work originates free of the thorough formal rhythmics in cubo-futuristic style.
