- This composition is characterized by unusually strong contrasts and places emphasis entirely on the vertical. - Still life plays a central role in Schmidt-Rottluff's late work. - He increasingly turned to his immediate surroundings and the "quiet life of things", as he himself once put it. - In " Zwischen den Vorhängen" (Between the Curtains), he opens the view into a bright distance, creating an atmospheric space at the transition between inner and outer world. - For the first time offered on the international auction market (source: artprice.com).
The work is documented in the archive of the Karl and Emy Schmidt-Rottluff Foundation, Berlin.
