Dawn 1911

"Dawn" is a 1911 painting by German Expressionist artist Max Pechstein. The work depicts a nude female figure reclining in a landscape, her body rendered in vibrant turquoise against a background of lush green foliage and a yellow-hued sky. The figure's relaxed pose and the soft, yet bold, brushstrokes convey a sense of tranquility and sensuality. The use of strong color contrasts and simplified forms is characteristic of Pechstein's style and the Expressionist movement, which aimed to capture subjective emotions and experiences through expressive artistic means.
