Description
An atmospheric early 20th century German Expressionist School landscape painting, monogrammed “C.H” and dated 1922.
Executed in oil on artist’s board, the composition depicts a vivid mountainous landscape with rolling green hills, dark expressive trees and a small village with red-roofed buildings nestled beneath dramatic mountain forms. The bold brushwork and strong colour contrasts are characteristic of the German Expressionist aesthetic.
The painting is presented in a later black frame and retains strong decorative impact.
A very appealing period landscape with excellent colour and expressive texture.
