Focus on The Red Tower in Halle and discuss the Description.
The painting shows the market square in the town of Halle with the Red Tower. The 15th-century neo-Gothic bell tower surmounts a red brick building. On the left stands the Marktkirche with its four towers. Only the tram crosses the deserted square. The view is plunging and unfolds parallel to the plane of the painting. Clouds of smoke in the background recall the proximity of war.
