What is the significance of the Pechstein exhibition currently touring internationally, given his unique artistic journey and historical context?

A double-sided painting by two different artists is rare among Expressionists. Lothar-Günther Buchheim initially mistook a landscape painting for a Pechstein work, even listing it as such in a 1998 catalog. However, despite his enthusiasm, Buchheim primarily collected Pechstein's watercolors, drawings, and prints, not oil paintings.
