Info August Haake painted "Duck houses" over a period of 1911-1914 in Fischerhude near Bremen in Germany. The duck houses stood in the river Wümme. On the right side goes a path and a footbridge over a branch by the Wümme. Oil painting on cardboard in the size 72x50 cm. The painting is not dated and has no signing. August Haake used to ride his motorcycle from Bremen to Fischerhude. His painting was hanging on the way behind his back. This is the simple reason that the painting has two holes on the top. August Haake pulled a piece of string through both holes and made a knot. Therefore both holes are regarded as the signing by August Haake. He died with lead poisoning in the age of 25 years. I wrote his biography in the German Wikipedia and took this photograph. The colors are equal to the painting. --Michael Gäbler (talk) 00:16, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support Very good quality, and very valuable. --Paolo Costa (talk) 01:46, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support, very similar to Van Gogh. But how did it happen that the article is available only in German Wikipedia? --Sasha Krotov (talk) 13:27, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Sasha, I hope, the article "August Haake" will be translated in some time from German into English and published in the English Wikipedia. Several artikels in the German Wikipedia written by me are translated in English and in other languages and published in Wikipedia such as Han van Meegeren written by me 2002 and Sven Hedin written by me 2004. Both article are later on translated as well in your Russian language and published in Меегерен, Хан ван and Гедин, Свен. Maybe you will read my article "August Haake" in some years in the Russian Wikipedia. --Michael Gäbler (talk) 00:23, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
