Beschrijving
A 1914 oil painting by August Macke, capturing the view from his Swiss residence through a series of rhythmic, geometric colour planes.
August Macke painted Garden on Lake Thun in 1914, a year that marked both the height of his creative output and his untimely death during the First World War. This work captures the view from his residence in Hilterfingen, Switzerland, where he sought refuge from the mounting political tensions in Germany. The composition reflects his engagement with the theories of colour developed by Robert Delaunay, which Macke encountered during his travels to Paris.
The painting is structured through a series of interlocking geometric planes. Rather than attempting a realistic depiction of the Swiss scenery, Macke prioritises the interaction of colour and light. The cool, cerulean blues of the distant mountains provide a backdrop for the warmer, more saturated tones of the foreground garden. A central tree, rendered in shades of coral and pink, acts as a vertical anchor within the frame. The brushwork is deliberate and rhythmic, with short, visible strokes that build the surface of the canvas.
Macke avoids the darker, more angst-ridden themes often associated with German Expressionism. Instead, he focuses on the harmony of form and the sensory experience of the natural world. The interplay between the structured, almost architectural elements of the garden and the fluid, atmospheric quality of the lake demonstrates his interest in balancing abstraction with recognisable subject matter. By simplifying the visual information into distinct blocks of colour, he directs the viewer to observe the relationships between light and shadow. This piece remains a clear example of his ability to synthesise the influence of French Fauvism with his own distinct approach to light and composition, resulting in a work that feels both structured and spontaneous.

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.
