  • In 1922, the painter Rudolf Wacker, a Vorarlberg native, married Ilse Moebius. Originally from Goslar, she worked in the arts and crafts industry. He created several paintings inspired by her native Goslar in the years that followed. This painting shows a view of the small, old German town. The wooden bridge across the Abzucht river leads to a deserted backyard. The houses seem uninviting and closed off, with mostly windowless facades and overlapping rooflines. The dark tones of the house on the left side of the picture contrast with the lighter colors on the right side. A prominent proponent of New Objectivity, Wacker described himself once as an “advocate of the unnoticed humble things.”
