August Macke: Picture 'St Germain near Tunis' (1914), framed

Product information "August Macke: Picture 'St Germain near Tunis' (1914), framed"

Paul Klee, Louis Moilliet and August Macke's trip to Tunis made art history: Under the African sun, they revolutionised their painting style, found countless motifs in the winding alleyways and explored the themes of form and colour in a new way. Their first stop was the villa district of St Germain, now known as Ez-Zahra near Tunis. Ernst Jäggi, a doctor friend of Molliet's, lived here. His house still stands today. And even today, a century after the legendary journey, Macke's Tunis paintings bear witness to his painterly genius. 'St Germain near Tunis' (1914): A selected work from the last and strongest period of Macke's artistic work. Original: 1914, watercolour on paper, 26 x 21 cm, Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus, Munich. Limited edition of 1,000 copies. The motif was elaborately reproduced on 225g genuine laid paper with embossing. Framed in solid wood moulding. Format 38 x 33 cm (H/W).
