Portrait of Wolfgang Frommel [p. 17] 1944 - 1949

Max Beckmann’s “Portrait of Wolfgang Frommel” is a pencil drawing created between 1944 and 1949. The drawing depicts a close-up portrait of a man with a somber expression. The artist's use of quick, gestural lines and a sense of unfinishedness is characteristic of Beckmann's style. The drawing's raw and expressive nature reflects the artist's own experiences of exile and loss during World War II. This work is a poignant example of Beckmann's unique and powerful ability to capture the human condition through his art.
