Seacoast
1912
Imagine standing on a rugged cliff edge in 1912, sketchbook in hand. That's essentially what Austrian artist Fritz Lach did here. He uses loose, watery strokes to capture the shimmering blue of the sea and the rough, sun-baked rocks, prioritizing the feeling of the breeze over photographic detail. This is Impressionism at its most relaxed—freezing a quiet, cloudy afternoon just before the world changed forever with the coming war.
