Despite the deprivation ofWorld War I, Max Pechstein had soon recovered and felt the old strength and artistic drive again. Especially the landscape around the fishing village Nida on the Curonian Spit, where he regularly spent the summers as of 1909, gave Max Pechstein inspiration for a new creativity. The expressive excellence of Pechstein's figure compositions is owed to the sharp contours, as it also dominates and structures this canvas. This composition gains its expressive strength from the sharp contour which dominates and structures the canvas. The group of three, staged in lucent colors, shows a strong connection in both formal terms as well as with regards to content. The masterly rendered combination of figures and a landscape characterized by tides brings forth a both enthralling as well as expansive composition. The strong color accents are in the interplay of blue and white, the predominant color at the sea. In the distance it strikes the scarcely grown dune landscape. In letters from these days Pechstein still mentions his longing for the South Seas which he had visited before World War I, and this composition with its easy manner suggests this very longing. Hardly any other painter of these days aligned his art with a certain landscape as much as Pechstein did. In Nida he realized a large part of his vast oeuvre.
