mehrfigurige Skizze (Group) [p. 35] 1944 - 1949

Max Beckmann's "mehrfigurige Skizze (Group)" is a pencil sketch from his sketchbook, dating from 1944 to 1949. The sketch features gestural lines that create an abstract composition, suggesting multiple figures in a crowded space. Though the drawing lacks details, it hints at Beckmann's signature style, characterized by a sense of claustrophobia and emotional intensity. This artwork is representative of the German Expressionist movement, a style characterized by its use of bold colors, distorted forms, and emotional impact.
