Beschreibung
A 1914 oil painting by August Macke, featuring a yellow house framed by trees, rendered in the bold, expressive style of the German Expressionist movement.
August Macke, a member of the Der Blaue Reiter group, painted this work in 1914, shortly before his death during the First World War. The composition depicts a yellow house partially obscured by trees, rendered with the bold, non-naturalistic colour palette characteristic of his later period. Macke was heavily influenced by the work of Henri Matisse and the Fauvist movement, which encouraged the use of colour as a primary means of expression rather than a tool for realistic representation.
The painting displays a clear structure, with the house acting as a stable, geometric anchor against the organic, flowing forms of the surrounding foliage. Macke employs thick, visible brushstrokes to define the shadows and light, creating a sense of movement across the canvas. The blue tones of the tree trunks and shadows contrast with the warm yellow of the building, a technique Macke used to create visual harmony. Unlike the more turbulent works of his contemporaries in the Expressionist movement, this piece maintains a sense of calm and order.
This work reflects Macke's interest in the synthesis of light and form. By simplifying the architectural elements and focusing on the interplay between the structure and the natural environment, he creates a scene that feels both domestic and dreamlike. The absence of human figures allows the viewer to focus entirely on the relationship between the colours and the simplified shapes. It is a representative example of his ability to balance modernist abstraction with a recognisable subject, capturing a fleeting moment of peace in the final months of his career.

Artist Biography
August Macke
Macke was twenty-seven when he was killed on the Western Front in September 1914. He had been painting seriously for about six years. In April of that same year he had been in Tunisia with Paul Klee and Louis Moilliet, making watercolours in the souks of Tunis and Kairouan. The gap between the two events, four months, is one of the starkest in modern art.
He grew up in a family of building contractors in Meschede, Westphalia, with no artistic connections. He visited Paris multiple times and absorbed Impressionism, Fauvism and Cubism in rapid succession, but his paintings look like none of those movements. What he took from France was colour: warm, saturated, joyful. His street scenes, market squares and park promenades glow with a light that belongs to someone who finds the world beautiful and wants to record it before it changes.
He met Franz Marc in 1910, and through Marc became involved with Der Blaue Reiter. His temperament was the opposite of Kandinsky's theoretical intensity. Macke painted intuitively, quickly, and with an optimism that made him the most approachable of the German Expressionists.
The Tunisian watercolours are his finest work: small, luminous, almost abstract in their reduction of architecture and figures to planes of colour. Klee wrote afterward that colour had taken possession of him. The same could be said of Macke, who had been working toward that moment for years.
He was drafted immediately when war broke out. His wife Elisabeth received notification of his death six weeks later. Marc, his closest friend, was killed at Verdun in 1916.
