Ackermann, Max. Garden by the Lake (Lake Constance). Tempera on canvas. Monogrammed "M.A." in the lower right corner and titled on the reverse on an old label attached to the stretcher. Circa 1935. Stretcher dimensions: 41 x 60 cm. Framed: 52.50 x 71.50 cm. Work by Max Ackermann (1887–1975) created in Hornstaad on Lake Constance. There, as early as 1932, he had met Gertrud Ostermayer (b. 1894), who was planning to build a house on the Untersee. From 1933 onward, while in “internal exile,” he spent time there regularly, teaching art to guests at her “vacation home,” and eventually moved permanently to Hornstaad in 1936, where he joined the Höri Circle and married Ostermayer. - The reverse of the canvas bears the paper label from the Berlin studio in Wilmersdorf. - Slightly dusty; the paint layer is partially somewhat cracked. - Provenance: From the estate of the Ackermann family.
