Stroller 1907

"Stroller" is a 1907 painting by German Expressionist artist August Macke. The artwork depicts a family strolling through a landscape, with a focus on the stark, stylized trees against a vibrant purple sky. Macke's use of bold colors and simplified forms is characteristic of his work during this period, known as Die Brücke (The Bridge), which emphasized the emotional impact of art over realism. The painting's composition, with its vertical lines and contrasting colors, creates a sense of movement and energy. "Stroller" is a testament to Macke's talent for capturing the beauty of everyday life through a uniquely expressive lens.
