Drie gezichten in schaduw 1916 - 1919

"Drie gezichten in schaduw" (Three Faces in Shadow) is an etching by German Expressionist artist Max Beckmann, created between 1916 and 1919. The artwork features three distorted faces, rendered in a highly expressive style with heavy lines and cross-hatching. The three faces, partially obscured by shadows, evoke a sense of unease and anxiety, reflecting the social and political turmoil of the period. The work is a powerful example of Beckmann's use of expressive lines and dark tones to convey the psychological impact of war and the breakdown of social order.
