Portrait 1919 - 1920

Max Weber’s “Portrait” (1919-1920), a woodcut, exemplifies the artist's exploration of Cubist principles. The portrait, rendered in brown and green hues, features a fragmented face constructed from geometric shapes, emphasizing form over realistic representation. The composition is deliberately flat and two-dimensional, reflecting the influence of Cubist aesthetics. Weber's use of woodcuts, a medium often associated with folk art, further underscores the avant-garde nature of his work, which defied traditional portraiture conventions.
