Lot Essay
Peter Vergo has written: "Pechstein's works of the years around 1910 are, in style, quite distinctive from those of the other members of the Brcke group, and display by comparison with theirs a remarkable sureness in the handling of form, and economy and concentration of pictorial means" (P. Vergo, The Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection of Twentieth Century German Painting, London, 1992, p. 234).
1909 was the first year in which Pechstein visited Nidden, a fishing village situated on the extreme eastern end of the Baltic. Nidden quickly became Pechstein's favourite summer resort and it is here that many of his most successful and often most avant-garde oils were executed (see lot 19).
