Product information "Max Pechstein: Picture 'Harbour of Leba' (around 1922), version framed in black and silver"
Member of the 'Brücke' and the 'Berliner Secession', co-founder and president of the 'Neue Secession', from 1923 also of the Prussian Academy of Arts and professor. Max Pechstein's rise was unmistakable. But then: loss of his professorial status in 1933, expulsion from the Academy in 1937, the condemnation of 'degenerate art', economic hardship, destruction of many works due to the effects of war. It was only in his later years after 1945 that he was recognised again. Max Pechstein truly led an eventful life as an artist. But there was one constant, a safe harbour if you will, in all this turmoil: For more than two decades, from 1921-1945, he managed to spend his summers painting in Hinterpommern. We owe many of his most beautiful landscape works to these stays, such as his 'Harbour of Leba', which he painted on his second visit and which was to be followed by many more.
