House with Field
, 1922, represents an extraordinarily vibrant color range and sense of contrast, likely a part of a series of boldly colored Expressionist landscapes painted by the artist in and around Leba from July to September 1922. In the watercolor, the field comes alive with softly curved diagonal furrows that transition from luminous blue, to an earthy mauve, and then ultimately to soft ocher. The house itself dominates the landscape, and its walls are the same ocher and mauve, echoing the striations of the field. With the blue fence that surrounds the house likewise reflecting the blue of the fields, all appear to be a chromatic mirror of one another. The remaining upper half of the composition is dominated by the lively green trees and dramatic, cloud-filled sky.
The fishing boats of Leba and nearby waterways were to become a particularly favorite motif of Pechstein. Both
Fishermen on the Gardnosee by Moonlight
, 1931 (Lot 16) and the present work
represent this fascination.
