Large Stil Life with Telescope 1927

Max Beckmann's "Large Still Life with Telescope" (1927) exemplifies his signature style of German Expressionism. The composition is packed with objects, including a woman with a fan, flowers, a telescope, a book, and a chair, all rendered in bold colors and distorted forms. Beckmann's use of sharp lines, flattened planes, and exaggerated proportions creates a sense of tension and unease, typical of Expressionist art. The artist's exploration of the anxieties and complexities of modern life is reflected in the enigmatic and disorienting nature of the scene.
