August Strindberg 1911

"August Strindberg" is a 1911 etching by German Expressionist artist Max Oppenheimer. The work is a close-up portrait of the Swedish playwright and novelist August Strindberg, showing his weathered face and furrowed brow, which are accentuated by Oppenheimer's dramatic use of line and shadow. Oppenheimer's portrait captures the intensity and brooding nature often associated with Strindberg's literary works. The etching's expressive style reflects the anxieties and emotional complexities of the early 20th century. This work is a powerful example of Oppenheimer's ability to use line to convey both physical and psychological depth.
