Nothing but Ruins, and Still No Peace
Although this watercolor is from the second half of the 1950s, dark plumes of smoke still waft over the ruins of a large city. Even 11 years after the war ended, the wounds from the inferno were still visible. The silhouette with the two churches is presumably Nuremberg, but can just as well be understood as a symbol of all cities destroyed by war. Stylistically this work demonstrates Friedrich Neubauer
