Description
Bad Tölz, Gaißach, 1978 – Oil Painting by Alexander Michael
In this vibrant landscape, Alexander Michael captures the sunlit hills and valleys surrounding Bad Tölz and Gaißach in Upper Bavaria. Broad, expressive brushstrokes convey the rhythmic contours of the land, while cool blues and fresh greens merge into a luminous panorama of the Alpine foothills. Painted in 1978, the work radiates Michael's characteristic blend of vitality and serenity, transforming a familiar Bavarian view into a celebration of color, light, and movement. Oil on cardboard. Signed lower left 'AM 78'.
Alexander Michael (1939-2024) was a German landscape, still life and architectural painter. His paintings can be stylistically assigned to Impressionism or a late Impressionist style. His loose painting style, applied with a sure hand, creates a lively and atmospheric effect with visible brushstrokes and bright colors. The light conditions, color tones and the artist's subjective perception are characteristic of his works.
