Description

Auch in seinem Spätwerk greift Schmidt-Rottluff immer wieder die formale Schönheit einfacher Gebrauchsgegenstände auf. Besonders durch die charakteristische Nahsicht erhalten die dargestellten Objekte eine starke optische Präsenz. Die mit dem breitem Pinsel rasch gesetzten schwarzen Konturen und Schatten legen die Struktur der Komposition fest.
