The bird motif shows up in both the early and the late work of Emil Schumacher. Apart from literary sources, nature was the artist‘s main stimulus and source of inspiration, even if the numerous figurations in his late work were usually highly abstract pictorial creations – sketched rapidly and realised in a spontaneous, masterly manner. The book presents the first cohesive overview of the subject matter based on early drawings, paintings, lithographs and linocuts and late gouaches.
