About the piece

Painted in 1910, this work by August Macke exemplifies the rhythmic vitality of German Expressionism. The composition uses a striking palette of yellow, blue, and emerald to transform a summer outing on the Tegernsee into a dynamic arrangement of color and form, capturing the essence of modern leisure.
