Flamingos c. 1919

"Flamingos" is a pencil sketch by German Expressionist artist Max Beckmann, created around 1919. The drawing features two stylized flamingos rendered in a simplified, almost geometric style, with a focus on their elongated necks and legs. The background is filled with gestural lines, creating a sense of movement and energy that is characteristic of Beckmann's work. The artwork is a study in form and line, showcasing the artist's distinctive approach to depicting the natural world. "Flamingos" is currently housed at the Städel Museum, Frankfurt.
