[AR]. • A large-format landscape watercolor of captivating visual intensity and a testament to the artist’s unwavering creative energy. • In the distinctive visual language of the former co-founder of the “Brücke” group: black outlines and vibrant fields of color intensify the impact of the highly stylized depiction of nature. • From the collection of Dr. Herbert Salden, who was a full-time physician and artist, as well as a close friend of Karl Schmidt-Rottluff. Salden’s works were exhibited at Galerie Bayer in Bietigheim-Bissingen in 2025 and demonstrate the significant influence Schmidt-Rottluff had on him. • Offered on the international auction market for the first time (source: artprice.com). The work is documented in the archive of the Karl and Emy Schmidt-Rottluff Foundation. PROVENANCE: Dr. Herbert Salden, Esslingen (presumably directly from the artist).
