專家說明

When the painters of Die Brücke met Otto Mueller in 1910, they immediately saw him as a “natural member” of the group. Erich Heckel remained connected to Mueller for life, and when "the tender man" died on September 24, 1930 at the age of only fifty-six, Heckel took on the sad duty of signing the works that had remained unsigned as one last service of friendship. The present drawing, Flussufer mit blauem Baum, counts amongst these works. It is a masterpiece of absolute compositional maturity, created in 1924.

We would like to thank Prof. Dr. Dr. Gerd Presler for this information.
