August Macke ‘Waldbach’ 1910.

(Macke (1887–1914) painted this image of a forest stream near the ‘Tegernsee’ (a lake in Bavaria) where he lived in 1910. Working intensively for a year in this rural environment, Macke developed a style that recalled the bold colours and simplified forms of the French Fauvist paintings he had seen during his trips to Paris in 1905 and 1909. In 1911, Macke became associated with ‘Der Blaue Reiter’ a group of Expressionist artists based in Munich.)
