Hilly Landscape with a Row of Trees
1911
Gustav Kampmann captured a quiet summer moment on August 12, 1911, with this atmospheric sketch that hints at his Impressionist roots. The composition is dominated by a vast, cloudy sky taking up two-thirds of the space, rendered with soft, smudgy strokes that suggest a breezy afternoon. Below, a dark, scribbly row of trees marches across the middle ground, separating the open field from the rolling hills in the distance. It feels less like a formal painting and more like a quick, poetic note taken by an artist sitting in a field, trying to catch the mood before the light changed.
