Old Woman in an Italian Landscape, 1926

Schuhmacher travelled widely as an artist. Also in the off-season, when sunny summer islands withdraw and reveal their true nature. The natives venture back outside, like this old woman. With her sunken, toothless cheeks, wrinkled face, neck and hands, the Corsican grandma resembles a weathered land ... scape. She is even almost swallowed up completely by the rocky background. This was Schuhmacher’s first painting of a human figure in a landscape. Text: Chris Reinewald From: Museum MORE: 100 jaar realisme, 2020, Gorssel
