Paris Society 1947

"Paris Society" (1947), a painting by German Expressionist Max Beckmann, is a vibrant depiction of a crowded Parisian social gathering. The composition is dominated by the figures, arranged in a chaotic yet balanced manner, with stylized features and bold colors reflecting Beckmann's signature style. This work, now housed in the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, is a powerful commentary on the complexities and anxieties of post-World War II society.
