Parksee. 1914.
Etching.
Signed and dated, titled in lower left. One of to date 31 known copies. On laid paper (with truncated watermark). 24.6 x 19.8 cm (9.6 x 7.7 in). Sheet: 35,8 x 28,9 cm (14,1 x 11,4 in).
The paper suggests that this presumably is one of the copies from the unnumbered edition for I. B. Neumann, Berlin. [AR].

• A particularly impressive print by Erich Heckel.
• Characterized by great clarity and an almost meditative effect.
• The interplay of perspective, reflections and reduction of form create an incredibly balanced effect.
• The painting "Parksee" was created in the same year; it shows the same motif in color.
• Further copies can be found in important museum collections like the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, the Museum Folkwang in Essen and the Brücke-Museum in Berlin.

We are grateful to Mrs Renate Ebner and Mr Hans Geissler, Hemmenhofen on Lake Constance, for the kind support in cataloging this lot.
