Bavarian Malerei or Wandmalerei: decorative house or wall painting

There is a big tradition in Bavaria of 'Malerei' or 'Wandmalerei': decorative house or wall painting, of which this is just one example. Some has a strong graphic quality, like this example, while others are more figurative (and often feel like they were done in the 1950s - I don;t know whether this is true or not, or whether it is simply a 'modernist' style; I will try to find an example).

 

What intrigued me in this example is the way the changing perspective of the triangles plays tricks with your eyes. I also like the subtle neutrals of the colour scheme.
