Zwei schwarze Schwäne
1923

"Birds interest me the most," said Hans Thuar in a letter to his son-in-law Wolfgang Macke in 1935. Cranes, storks and swans in particular offered him the opportunity to observe them in the wild. In the painting on offer, he captures the two birds in full format and captures their elegance and suppleness in a composition full of tension.
