"Negro Dance" is a 1921 woodcut by German Expressionist artist Max Beckmann. The piece depicts a group of figures in a lively dance, their bodies contorted and exaggerated in a way characteristic of Beckmann's style. The use of bold lines and stark contrasts of light and dark creates a sense of energy and drama. The subject matter, though seemingly light, reflects Beckmann's fascination with the darker aspects of human nature, making "Negro Dance" a powerful and thought-provoking work.
