Figur mit Händen am Kopf (Figure with Hands at Head) [p. 26] 1918 - 1919

"Figur mit Händen am Kopf (Figure with Hands at Head)" is a pencil drawing by German Expressionist artist Max Beckmann, created between 1918 and 1919. The sketch, part of a sketchbook, features a single figure with hands clasped at the head, rendered in a loose and gestural style characteristic of Beckmann's work. The piece showcases the artist's interest in exploring human emotion and psychology, and the stark lines and simplified forms evoke a sense of anxiety and introspection. This drawing is a fascinating glimpse into Beckmann's creative process and reflects the profound impact of World War I on his artistic vision.
