Sommer c. 1910

"Sommer" (Summer) is a painting by German artist Leo Putz, created around 1910. The painting depicts a woman in a white dress and hat sitting at a table outdoors. The woman's posture and the loose brushstrokes used to paint her figure create a sense of casualness and ease, a hallmark of Putz's style. The painting evokes the feeling of a warm summer day, with dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves of the trees. This painting is a fine example of the German Expressionist movement, which embraced bold colors, gestural brushwork, and emotional intensity in its artworks.
