Boulder, Colorado 1949

"Boulder, Colorado" is a 1949 ink drawing by German Expressionist artist Max Beckmann. The artwork features a landscape with geometric forms rendered with bold, expressive lines on a light green background. Beckmann is known for his powerful and often unsettling imagery, and "Boulder, Colorado" is characteristic of his distinctive style, which often combined realism with abstraction. The drawing is part of a series of works that Beckmann made during his exile in the United States. He had been forced to flee Germany in 1937 following the rise of the Nazi regime. In 1949, he travelled to Colorado for a short period and was inspired by the landscape to create several drawings and paintings.
