Ferdinand Erfmann, known for his themes around gender and identity, painted tranquil cityscapes as well as figures that blur the boundaries between masculinity and femininity. At night he worked on his art, sometimes wearing make-up and feminine clothing, while he depicted his dream world with sculptural women with powerful forms.
This work from the 1930s shows another side of Erfmann: a North African gate in soft pastel shades. The warm ochres and sand colours contrast subtly with the cool shadows. In the foreground, a man wearing a hat or skullcap with a red accent draws attention, a playful colour contrast within the serene composition. Erfmann's characteristic simplified forms and dreamy atmosphere give the work a poetic stillness.
