The Negro (Der Neger) 1921

"The Negro" (Der Neger) is a 1921 lithograph by German Expressionist artist Max Beckmann, known for its stark black and white lines and dramatic depiction of human figures. The print features a close-up portrait of a Black man, his face intensely rendered with thick lines and expressive features. He is depicted in a crowded scene, with other figures partially visible, suggesting a social context. The work exemplifies Beckmann's signature style, characterized by emotional intensity and a focus on alienation and social commentary.
