(1881 Zwickau - 1955 Berlin) Sailboat in the harbor of Leba, woodcut/paper, 1922. Hand-signed and dated 1923 in red chalk. Catalogue raisonné Krüger H 279. According to Mrs. Julia Pechstein (whom we thank for her friendly information), this documented exemplar is the only one listed outside of the catalogue raisonné, and it is the second, newly discovered exemplar. The sheet by the significant expressionist, who was a member of the artist group "Brücke" from 1906-1912 alongside Erich Heckel, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, and Ernst-Ludwig Kirchner, was created during a time of personal upheavals and successes. In 1921, Pechstein became acquainted with the fishing village and seaside resort Leba in Pomerania, located in present-day Poland. Like the South Sea and the Lithuanian Nidden before, Leba became Pechstein's third place of longing, where he repeatedly returned until 1945. In 1923, Pechstein also separated from his first wife and married Marta Möller, who hailed from Leba. In the same year, he was chosen as a member of the Prussian Academy of Arts in Berlin and received a nominal professorship. Minor creases or folds in the upper corners (to the wide margins). Dimensions: 40 cm x 49.5 cm. Framed.
