This painting, entitled Kamnolom (Quarry), was likely produced in the vicinity of Gaaden, where Jama and his family spent the better part of 1908. Still today they grind the dolomite rock from the hills between Gaaden and Mödling into gravel, and they used to bake it to produce lime and plaster as well. This painting was identified in a letter to Jakopič from 1909, when the artist mentioned it as a candidate for state acquisition, but later he actually sold the piece The Winter Sun (Willows). He was supposed to exhibit Kamnolom in Hagenbund at the end of that year, but the exhibition ran out of space. Thereupon he mentioned the painting another 2 times in May of 1911 after returning from Holland, again in the context of state acquisition. In 1914, he likely brought it with him to Holland and sold it there, as the National Gallery in Slovenia acquired it from the Dutch market. Kamnolom was painted as a photograph, lacking any compositional hierarchy. The work’s diagonals intersect at the edge of the small outhouse’s roof. Here, too, the successive bands of light and shadow work to give the work a planar depth of space. The quarry loses its meaning as a place of work and a blight on the landscape, remaining just a slope of whitened stone and a game of illumination and the tenebrous, transforming the subject into sensual pleasure through its festive light. The violet hues in the long shadow extending over the outhouse on the right remind us of a similar detail in the Most na Dobri.
