Our Little House in Tegernsee
Pictures by August Macke
August Macke's painting of a white house with green shutters sits on a sunlit spring hillside, with bare trees casting long shadows across the grass. Macke and his wife Elisabeth spent a happy year in this rented house by Lake Tegernsee in the Bavarian Alps, and he painted it as a portrait of their home. For someone settling into a new place of their own.
