Schleuse . 1913. Oil on canvas. Hüneke 1913-34. Vogt 1913-56. Lower right signed and dated. Once more signed and dated on the reverse. 70 x 80 cm (27.5 x 31.4 in). • Made during a stay at the country house of the collector and patron Gustav Schiefler in the Hamburg environs in the summer of 1913. • The Mellingburg Lock would become a key motif for Heckel during the stay - 4 of the 6 paintings are considered lost, destroyed or of unknown whereabouts. • The artist gave a portrait format version of the motif as a gift to Gustav and Luise Schiefler, today the work is at the Brücke Museum in Berlin (Hüneke 1913-31). • The present landscape format composition may well be considered the most dense and intimate one of the river landscapes, which marked the beginning of a period characterized by a new crystalline style influenced by Cubism. • In 1913 Heckel had his first solo show at Galerie Fritz Gurlitt, Berlin.
