Paar (Couple) [p. 17] 

"Paar (Couple)" is a pencil sketch by German Expressionist artist Max Beckmann. The artwork depicts a couple, likely a man and a woman, with a simplified, almost cartoonish style. This sketch exhibits Beckmann's characteristic use of bold lines and expressive features, indicative of his Expressionist approach to portraying human emotions and experiences. The sketch, likely a preliminary study for a larger work, reveals the artist's quick and spontaneous artistic process. This is a powerful depiction of the human condition, typical of Beckmann's artistic style.
