Hans Baluschek - Part 2


Continuing with more of the marvelous work of German artist Hans Baluschek. The painting below, War Winter 1917, shows how he would work the railroad into a piece of social commentary, showing the mood of Berliners during World War One.  Also, in Kameraden, we see a locomotive on a high fill in the background. Roofing the gloom of a rainy day in Rain is an elevated station. The black and white drawings at the bottom, may be from his booklet Spreeluft.
