Junges Madchen 1908

"Junges Madchen" (Young Girl), painted in 1908 by German Expressionist Max Pechstein, depicts a young woman with bright colors and bold brushstrokes. The vibrant colors and simplified forms are characteristic of Expressionism, a movement that aimed to express emotions and subjective experiences. The painting's focus on the sitter's face and the use of bold colors contribute to a sense of immediacy and intensity. Pechstein's work often featured portraits and figures, and his use of color and form reflect the influences of both Fauvism and Die Brücke, the German Expressionist group he was a founding member of.
