“Only nature remains as a model”
Alfons Walde 1925
This large-format version of the rare motif of the “Einsame Hausung” (Lonely dwelling) from the mid-1930s captivates above all with the density of the impasto color modulations and the force of the tectonic paint application. At the same time, the painterly execution emphasizes the theme of the lonely farmhouse set against the steep face of a nearby mountain, the drama of which is heightened by the extreme close-up view of the composition. As is typical for Walde, the red splashes of color in the balcony flowers and the staffage figure of the mother and child add a narrative but also rhythmically pulsating component (cf. Gert Ammann, 1976, S. 16).
