Von Ochsen gezogener Heuwagen (Hay Cart pulled by Bullocks) [p. 6] 

This is a quick sketch in pencil, titled "Hay Cart Pulled by Bullocks," by Max Beckmann. The drawing is characterized by a whirlwind of lines that suggest form more than define it. Notice how Beckmann uses hatching—dense, parallel lines—to build up the bulk of the hay and the bodies of the bullocks. There's a palpable sense of movement, almost as if the cart is vibrating with energy. The composition seems unstable, defying clear, fixed interpretation. This apparent disarray, however, is precisely where the drawing's power lies. It reflects the broader artistic and philosophical concerns of Beckmann's time. The early 20th century was marked by rapid social and technological changes, and artists responded by questioning traditional modes of representation. In that context, the sketch challenges our assumptions about what a drawing should be, where clarity gives way to ambiguity, and the fixed point of view dissolves into a multiplicity of perspectives.
