In this small painting on iron, Karl Schmid effectively reproduces the idea of light and shadow, playing with warm and cold colors, which he separates with a diagonal. Although the space occupied by shadow is larger, it is that of light which is eye-catching.
"The whole meaning, the light and darkness of our existence, which an artist entrusts to the lines of his drawing, is an integral part of his life and work."
Karl Schmid
