• Otto Modersohn and his fellow Worpswede artists are considered to have shaped the style of a new, intuitive landscape painting and to have paved the way for Modernism in Germany.
• From 1925, Modersohn spent his summers in the Allgäu.
• In the Ostrachtal valley below the Nebelhorn mountain, he discovered a lighter palette filled with transparent clarity and created works full of painterly poetry.
