About the piece

Painted in 1914, this work by August Macke exemplifies the German Expressionist movement with its radiant palette and fragmented, semi-abstracted composition. The scene brings together pastoral elements with the leisure of sailing, all unified by Macke's masterful use of light and bold, rhythmic color.
