Descrizione
• A rare subject in Otto Mueller’s oeuvre, yet one that bears his characteristic signature
• A harmonious fusion of idyllic landscape and industrial progress
• A view of Schmiedeberg in the Giant Mountains, not far from Mueller’s birthplace, Liebau
This work depicts a subject unusual for Otto Mueller, yet here too the artist is entirely in his element. Although the urban structures of the railway station, the track road and the street are recognisable, the surrounding nature and the figure sitting in the grass lend the motif a soothing serenity, through which Otto Mueller himself also attempts to escape the modern way of life. The ink drawing, executed swiftly and confidently over a watercolour landscape composition, possesses all the stylistic characteristics we recognise from his other works. The fact that this subject was important to the artist is evident from his use of it in the lithograph ‘Schmiedeberg Station’ (WVZ Karsch 134) and in the painting ‘Landscape with Red Wall’ (Pirsig-Marshall/Von Lüttichau G1919/17).
