Hiddensee - Island beyond the horizon
"Through creative activity, a community of landscape painters developed, I'll call them V(f)fitte painters here. In the tradition of the island painters, the artists spend most of the day drawing and painting in nature. Putting impressions on paper with watercolors, doing justice to the landscape in sketches and studies with pastels or acrylics - and using them as models in the studio. This approach to motifs using a wide variety of techniques has become rare. The resulting works of art can be recognized by their colourful luminosity. ...The struggle for artistic results ... is exciting [and] gratifying for everyone at the same time. All motifs must first be ... explored, then the exchange during the creative process is particularly valuable ... The very personal paths of each individual in the group enrich their own work. The sketches, studies and also large-format works find their way into various exhibitions. " (from: In wind and weather; ed. M. Apelt; E. Hartung)
