Landscape With Figures by Adolf Hölzel

Adolf Hölzel was born in 1853, the same year as Van Gogh, and spent his career quietly rewriting the rules of painting. He trained as a realist, then slowly let go of detail in favour of colour, rhythm and shape, becoming one of the first German painters to move towards abstraction.

Landscape With Figures has the look of his later work, when he focused on pastels and stained glass design. Figures and land are broken into bright fragments of orange, red and yellow, outlined in black like a leadlight window, and set against a deep blue border. It's bold and joyful, and brings real colour to a living room, study or hallway.

Hölzel's influence was bigger than his fame. As a teacher in Dachau and later at the Stuttgart Academy, he shaped a generation of modernists, including Johannes Itten and Oskar Schlemmer, both later central to the Bauhaus. When he stepped down in 1919, his professorship went to Paul Klee.
