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. Three selected works from the last and strongest period of Macke's artistic work have been brought together in this limited edition of 1,000 copies each. Each motif has been elaborately reproduced on 225g genuine laid paper with embossing. Framed in solid wood moulding. Format 38 x 33 cm (H/W) each.

Like many other artists of his time, Macke was fascinated by the landscape of Lake Thun. He was particularly fascinated by the beauty of the Swiss mountains - especially the Niesen with its pyramid shape - and the play of colours in the water. It was here that Macke developed his own style of painting, characterised by strong abstraction and his own vibrancy.

Inspired by a Robert Delaunay exhibition, August Macke created several works without any pictorial objects in 1913. As in this painting 'Coloured Forms', he worked exclusively with geometric, flat structures in strong, high-contrast colours. With such studies, the German Expressionist not only analysed the effect of colours and forms, but also took the first steps towards abstraction.

August Macke was able to make the colours on the canvas glow like no other. The scenes he painted always told of the cheerful and carefree side of life.
