Beschreibung
A luminous watercolour by August Macke, capturing a sun-drenched courtyard in St. Germain through simplified forms and a bright, expressive colour palette.
August Macke produced this watercolour during his final year, a period marked by his travels and a shift towards a more luminous, light-filled aesthetic. The composition depicts a domestic scene in St. Germain, rendered with the characteristic fluidity of the medium. Macke employs a palette dominated by bright yellows, blues, and greens, which interact to create a sense of warmth and sun-drenched atmosphere. The architecture of the house is simplified into geometric planes, allowing the colour to define the space rather than rigid lines.
Two figures are present in the foreground, integrated into the garden setting. Their presence is suggested through minimal forms, reflecting Macke's interest in the relationship between human subjects and their environment. The branches of a tree frame the upper portion of the image, adding a sense of depth and enclosure to the courtyard. The application of paint is loose, with visible washes that allow the white of the paper to contribute to the overall luminosity of the scene. This work demonstrates the artist's ability to balance representational elements with a modern, subjective approach to colour and form. By focusing on the play of light across the building facade and the foliage, Macke captures a fleeting moment of calm. The work remains a clear example of his contribution to the German Expressionist movement, specifically his focus on the harmony between humanity and the natural world.

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.
