Albin Enders, "Harvest" Hirtenpöhl near Weischlitz
Late summer Vogtland harvest landscape with straw dolls on a harvested grain field, in front of a group of spruces under an effectively cloudy sky, the art critic Joseph August Beringer from Mannheim comments: "... I would like to describe the art of Albin Enders ... a very strong, colouristic original Impressionism, whereby the form-dissolving tendency of Impressionism is avoided in favour of a large-scale and certainly form-restricting painterly form of expression. Enders stands firmly on the age-old art law ground that painting is shaping [in space, form and colour]."Atmospheric landscape painting with a broad, slightly impasto brushstroke in finely tuned colours, oil on cardboard, monogrammed and dated "Æ 1924" in ligature at lower left, original artist's label on the reverse "Ernte - Albin Enders Weischlitz iV", painting ground slightly curved, minimal signs of age, somewhat in need of cleaning, framed, folding dimensions approx. 75 x 102 cm.
