Adolf Glatte: Rocky hill near Harburg, 1896

Smooth's oeuvre owes its strongest impulses to French Impressionism , with which he came into contact during his studies in Paris, and can therefore be ascribed to Late Impressionism and Post-Impressionism . He mainly painted landscapes from the area around Munich . After 1933 he was considered a representative of modern art, which the National Socialists defamed as " degenerate art ", which is why his paintings were confiscated. Glatte was also influenced by the Munich painter Ludwig von Hagn (1820–1898).
