About the Work

From 1923 onwards, Werner Gilles made regular visits to the Italian island of Ischia, where he carried out drawings and watercolours capturing the island inhabitants and the striking landscape. In this watercolour, he translated both the landscape and the human figures into geometrical forms. He surrounded some of them with wide contours but did not develop them in detail. He moreover refrained from depicting light and shade, thus conveying the impression of two-dimensional figures reduced to mere ciphers.
