The small box originally used to be in the possession of Dr. Elsa Hopf, a dental surgeon in Hamburg, who was one of Schmidt-Rottluff's earliest patrons and collectors. Through the art historian Dr. Rosa Schapire, she came into contact with the art of the "Brücke" painters and became a passive member in 1910. Thanks to Schapire's excellent networking skills, she was able to build up a circle of collectors in Hamburg, which was particularly important for Schmidt-Rottluff. This circle expanded steadily, not least through her friends Anna and Dr. Clara Goldschmidt, with whom Hopf shared a practice. From January to March 1911, Clara Goldschmidt and Elsa Hopf found and and financed a studio on Kleine Johannisstraße 6 in Hamburg, where Schmidt-Rottluff exhibited several boxes exclusively for invited guests. Between 1910 and 1912 there was a particularly close relationship with Schmidt-Rottluff; Hopf's collection included two paintings, prints, watercolors, drawings, an ex-libris the artist designed for her, pieces of jewelry, a wooden chest and this very small box. It remained in the family's possession for many years and over time was used to store cosmetics, stamps, tobacco, tablets and medicine, as well as postcards. With the little box, Schmidt-Rottluff succeeded in implementing the free concept of art of modernism and the revocation of a separation between art and life, of the beautiful and the useful. Art becomes part of the life of the owners of the boxes, with their colors and forms, lines and movements, they enrich their everyday life. [KT]
