Landscape with Cows and Camel is a 1914 color by August Macke, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
Landscape with Cows and Camel is a work by German painter August Macke, created in 1914. It’s an oil‑on‑canvas piece that uses color in a straightforward way. The painting belongs to Macke’s early 20th‑century output, just before his untimely death. The work shows a quiet scene that includes both livestock and a camel, hinting at a surprising mix of rural life and exotic travel. It was made during a period when Macke was exploring new subjects and experimenting with his palette. If you’re interested, check out the museum that now holds this piece: Kunsthaus Zürich.
