O obrazie
Max Pechstein painted The Red House in 1911 in Nidden, a Baltic fishing village where he often stayed away from Berlin. The canvas is in the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago. It belongs to a group of red houses and other buildings observed from different viewpoints and in changing conditions. Rough brushwork and saturated colour also go beyond straightforward recording. Pechstein pursued this experimentation with Die Brücke, seeking immersion in colour and tone as well as direct observation of outdoor scenes. On view in gallery 392.
Opis muzeum
Max Pechstein painted The Red House during a trip to the town of Nidden, a remote fishing village on the Baltic Sea where he often escaped the constraints of Berlin life. This particular work formed part of a series of red houses and other architectural structures–such as bathhouses and a cathedral–that reflects a documentary impulse to record outdoor scenes from multiple perspectives under various conditions. However, Pechstein also ventured beyond strict observation and had a desire to, as he put it, "dive into colors, roll around in tones!" As is clear from the rough brushwork and saturated palette, this radical experimentation–carried out as part of the avant-garde artists' group Die Brücke (the Bridge)–forged new connections between traditional painting and the intensity of 20th-century experience.

Break with the Brücke
After years of rising tension, Pechstein shows some of his work at the Berlin Secession on its own, without paintings by other Brücke members, and leaves the group; other accounts say he was expelled. His conservative style appealed to a wider audience, and recognition and awards far outpacing those of his peers bred animosity in the group.
