Published in 1908, House in Dangast (The White House) exemplifies the emerging Expressionism movement, emphasizing emotional intensity and bold forms. The painting depicts a simple, white house set against a dynamic Landscape, capturing the German seaside town of Dangast. This work reflects a shift away from realistic representation toward more subjective, expressive visual language, characteristic of early 20th-century art.
