Description
Scherzo by Otto Friedrich 1913
Little known today, Otto Friedrich was an Austrian painter who along with Gustav Klimt was a founding member of the Secession art movement.
Scherzo, the title of the painting means child's play. The children are on a beach somewhere and are naked, which was not uncommon on Austria beaches during this time period. The group of girls are obviously teasing the young boy.
This painting was exhibited at the Vienna Secession in 1913 where it received praise from an unusual quarter. The Russian Revolutionary Leon Trotsky saw it as was quite taken by the painting. He wrote that it "inspired the viewer with...the harmony of line and color."
This image was created by photographing the original painting with a professional high-definition Leica camera. If you look closely, you can see the individual brushstrokes in the painting. It is not a copy from the internet. With the exceptional photography and exacting standards of color, this guarantees that you get the finest quality possible.
The watermark in the lower right hand corner of the picture does not appear on the final print.
