Im Harz (Brocken), 2023

Diederik Gerlach (1956) recently made a series of brush drawings in brown bistre tones in which he reinterprets well-known German landscapes such as the banks of the river Rhine or the Harz mountains. Compared to his precise paintings on panel they have a free and dynamic brushwork that brings movement to the image. Im Harz Brocken shows the steam train that runs to the top of the so-called Brocken in the Harz mountains. The train has lights for eyes and a curling crest of steam that guides the eye upwards. Gerlach ties the image together by taking your gaze from the rails to the stones to the four bent fir trees that touch the blue pointed shape that in its turn is connected to the plume of smoke from the train.
