Woman Seated at Table 1919 - 1920

This is "Woman Seated at Table" by Max Weber. It’s a print, so think about the pressure and force needed to transfer the image onto the page. I wonder what it was like for Weber to make this. Did he know her? Was she a friend, or just someone he saw in his mind’s eye? The blocks of color are so simple but so expressive. The green windows in the background, those hands holding a glass - that’s a lot of information conveyed in just a few marks! And what about the frame? That burnt sienna color really makes the figure pop. I love how the patterns and shapes come together to create this amazing sense of depth and texture. It’s like Weber is inviting us into her private space. All artists are in dialogue with one another; each mark inspires the next generation. It’s a beautiful conversation that's been going on for centuries and it's still continuing today.
