Oil on painting cardboard, laid down on canvas Germany, around 1915 Minna Köhler-Roeber (1883-1957) - German Impressionist Label by the estate on the stretcher frame and on the frame with annotation: Minna Köhler-Roeber Catalogue raisonné no.: 452 Total dimensions, framed: 44.2 x 50.1 cm Good condition Works by Minna Köhler-Roeber from the pre-war period enjoy great popularity amongst connoisseurs for their distinctive style; works by the artist are rarely offered on the auction market This Impressionist painting by Minna Köhler-Roeber depicts the view of a house in the left area of the image and a line of trees, occupying the main part of the composition. The artist dissolves the depiction in a mosaic of colours in pastel tones in broad, singular brushstrokes placed next to each other. The colour mosaic creates, observed from the far, an image that does not reach abstraction to the highest degree, but leaves the observer an idea of the true shapes. Through the mosaic wend bald branches of trees. The sky is indicated in light-blue in the upper area of the composition. The present piece is a fine example of German Impressionism from the time of around 1915. Köhler-Roeber is a master of this technique and counts in her prominent individual style as a still to be discovered female representative of German Impressionism. The oil painting 'Landscape', by Minna Köhler-Roeber is mounted in a decorative wooden frame.
