"Hamburg III" is one of Oskar Kokoschka’s most celebrated depictions of Europe’s great cities and a remarkable evocation of the busy harbour of Hamburg. Kokoschka here makes full use of the descriptive power of colour. Using his favoured blue as a background he alleviates this with vivid accents of red, orange, turquoise and green, applying the paint in both vertical and horizontal strokes. This creates a kaleidoscopic effect that perfectly captures the play of light on the water and the movement of the many large and small craft that fill the foreground of the composition.
