{"product_id":"old-town-ii-august-macke","title":"Old Town II - August Macke","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis oil on canvas painting by August Macke depicts a townscape in an Expressionist style, using bold colours and simplified forms to capture the essence of the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eAugust Macke (1887-1914) was a German Expressionist painter, one of the leading members of the German Expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider). His work is characterised by its bright colours, simplified forms, and interest in depicting everyday life. He was killed in action during World War I at the age of 27. \n\n'Old Town II' presents a view of a townscape, likely inspired by the artist's travels. The composition is divided into distinct zones, with a path leading the viewer's eye into the scene. The buildings are rendered with simplified geometric shapes and topped with red roofs, while the surrounding greenery is depicted with broad strokes of green and yellow. The sky is a patchwork of blues and whites, suggesting a bright, sunny day. The painting's style is characterised by its use of bold colours and simplified forms, typical of Expressionist painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/naakte-vrouw-nude-woman-meijer-bleekrode\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eNaakte vrouw (Nude Woman) - Meijer Bleekrode — Meijer Bleekrode\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/composition-2-wassily-kandinsky\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eComposition 2 - Wassily Kandinsky — Wassily Kandinsky\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/collections\/august-macke\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eAugust Macke artwork →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"August Macke","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57161209282895,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57161209348431,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57161209446735,"sku":null,"price":290.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57161209479503,"sku":null,"price":450.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57161209545039,"sku":null,"price":450.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57161209577807,"sku":null,"price":590.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57161209610575,"sku":null,"price":590.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57161209676111,"sku":null,"price":730.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57161209741647,"sku":null,"price":730.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58228849246543,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58228849279311,"sku":null,"price":290.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58228849312079,"sku":null,"price":450.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58228849344847,"sku":null,"price":590.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58228849377615,"sku":null,"price":730.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ XS Canvas (20x30cm) \/ -","offer_id":58228849901903,"sku":null,"price":130.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ Small Canvas (30x40cm) \/ -","offer_id":58228849934671,"sku":null,"price":170.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58228850000207,"sku":null,"price":380.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/file_d8baa1c7-1219-432e-abbf-4314bfd6e930.jpg?v=1777246269","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/en-nz\/products\/old-town-ii-august-macke","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
