When Segall exhibited this painting in the second Group 1919 exhibition, Director Paul-Ferdinand Schmidt immediately sought to acquire it for the Dresden City Museum. In the painting, Segall used severely muted blue,yellow, and violet huesóthe trio of colors he turned into a virtual signature of his Expressionism. This painting was exhibited in the 1937 Degenerate Art show, a propagandistic exhibition organized by the National Socialists in Munich to degrade modernism by associating avant-garde art movements with so-called degenerateî elements of race, religion, leftist politics, and liberal sexuality.
