Untitled (Green Meadow)

Hand signed by the artist in brown paint, lower  right

Kalb was born in Southwest Germany in 1870. From 1888 to 1892 he attended the Art Institute in Frankfurt and the Art Academy in Munich. He was considered a master landscapist, whose meadows, fields, roads and farmhouses  captured the sense of light and calmness of the  countryside. In this plein-air painting done in 1920, Kalb's palette and loose brushstrokes  capture the immediacy and the fleeting elements of a spring day. Kalb  participated in exhibitions principally in Munich, Dusseldorf and Frankfurt.  (Kunstler Lexicon; Allgemeines Lexicon der Bildenden Kunstler)
