The artwork titled “Trees and Fields” was created by August Macke in 1911. It is part of the Expressionist movement and measures 27 x 31.8 cm. Classified as a landscape, this piece captures the essence of natural scenery through its distinct style and composition.
In this artwork, thick, curving lines delineate the trees and undulating fields that comprise the scene. The central tree, with its broad trunk and winding branches, draws the viewer’s eye, creating a focal point amidst the flowing forms of the surrounding landscape. The use of charcoal emphasizes contrast and texture, lending a tactile quality to the fields and foliage. The artistic style embodies the emotional intensity and subjective nature typical of Expressionism, invoking a sense of dynamism and movement within the seemingly serene rural setting.
