The ominous, almost Orientally decorative treatment of the Grunwaldsee by Walter Leistikow shows the new trend toward the abstract as the nineteenth century comes to a close. Flat, patterned, close to lacquer screen or brocade in its restraint, this approach to the experience of nature anticipates Modernism in its restraint and respect for the two-dimensional. http://www.wga.hu/html_m/l/leistiko/grunewal.html
