Hallenarchitektur (Vaulted Architecture) [p. 18] 

Max Beckmann's "Hallenarchitektur (Vaulted Architecture)" is a simple yet expressive pencil drawing. Created during his time in exile in Amsterdam, the work captures the essence of an architectural space. The composition centers on a single, powerful diagonal line, emphasizing the vaulted ceiling and conveying a sense of height and depth. This drawing, like many of Beckmann's other works, reveals his unique style and fascination with architectural forms. The use of simple lines and shading evokes a sense of depth and perspective, highlighting the artist's keen observational skills and his ability to create visual drama even with minimal detail. This artwork is characteristic of Beckmann's expressive style and his use of architectural motifs, and provides a glimpse into his artistic process.
