K. WOLF (1901-1993), Mountain range versus Traunstein, 1945, Watercolor Karl Wolf (1901 Munich - 1993 ): Mountain range versus Traunstein, 1945, Watercolor Technique: Watercolor on Paper, mounted on Paper Catalogue Raisonné: , 297-A-1945-26 Stamp: Estate stamp, Nachlass Karl Wolf. Inscription: Verso signed: "Karl Wolf". Verso inscribed by the artist's hand: "Volkrading | 25 x 35 b | Bergkette gegen Traunsteiner Berge | Blatt 26". Verso dated: "22. Juni 1945". Date: 1945 Description: The mountains stand out bright blue above the flat Alpine foothills. A single tree stands prominently on the left. A beautiful study of light and colour under a cloudy sky. The watercolour shows an expansive landscape with a single tree on the left in the foreground. The composition is divided into several horizontal layers: a green meadow in the foreground, a row of darker bushes and trees in the middle ground, and a mountain range in blue tones in the background. The sky is slightly cloudy, with soft grey tones that create a calm, almost meditative atmosphere. The tree is bright green and stands out clearly from the rest of the landscape. The colour transitions are soft and flowing, typical of the watercolour technique, which gives the picture an impressionistic effect. There are no human figures or animals; the tranquillity and untouched nature is emphasised. Provenance: From the estate of the artist. Literature: Wolf, Monika: Karl Wolf (1901-1993).
