Yellow Flowers | Gelbe Blüten, 1948
Signed, Dated and Titled Watercolour and Chalk Drawing on Laid Paper
63.2 x 48.5 cm. / 24.8 x 19 in.
This watercolour is hand signed and dated in pencil by the artist "Heckel 48" [1948] in the lower right image.
It is also hand titled in pencil “Gelbe Blüten” [Yellow Flowers] in the lower right image.
There is an abandoned sketch of a male nude in a landscape which has been white-washed, verso.
Note: Renate Ebner, the archive’s expert suggests due to a shortage of paper the artist repurposed the sheet for the still life. The male nude appears to be related to a wall hanging (originally on fabric) from the artist’s Berlin studio.
