Matt Noonan - Mountain Landscape from Clavdel

This painting was made By a German artist named Ernst Ludwig Kirchneri.   He lived from 1880 to 1938.  The year he created this painting was 1926 and took him a year to make.  The painting is of oil on canvas.  Kirchner suffered a complete mental and physical collapse after being called up for service during World War I.  Then he moved to Switzerland hoping the mountain air would cure his minds and body.  He then painted the high alps with very bold colors and coarse brushwork.  I wonder if this was his view from his house.  I also wonder what are the two people doing in ghe middle of the picture.  Also some of the trees look like animals, I wonder if he did that in purpose.  When he drew this was he still in his mental and physical collapse?  I also wonder why he named it "Mountain Landscape from Clavdel." When I first saw the painting I first noticed the very vivid colors.  I also noticed that he paints the tree trunks a dark pinkish color.  Some parts of the sky is brown. Maybe it was to show his darkness to the painting.  Maybe he lived in one of the two cabins down below.
