In 1913, the artist finally distanced himself from Impressionism and turned to Expressionism. For the very first time, Klein let his Expressionist vein shine through in the painting of the Marmorhaus cinema in Berlin. Since then, he has been an integral part of Expressionist art history. However, changes in the artist's oeuvre took place as early as 1910 when he co-founded the Neue Secession in Berlin. The splitting off of the Berlin Secession, which did not want to represent new art movements such as Expressionism, was a decisive point for Klein's drastic artistic change. After the National Socialists seized power, Klein was "suspended" from his activities and banned from painting. In 1937, his works were defamed at the Nazi exhibition "Degenerate Art" in Munich. The painting cited is not without reason reminiscent of stained glass, for the artist also devoted himself to mosaics as well as stained glass. This work was also executed in glass and later ended up in the collection of the famous art dealer Carl Laszlo. Several paint chips. Does not disturb the overall impression.
