Sunset 1921

"Sunset" (1921) by Max Pechstein is a striking example of Expressionism. The painting showcases two figures, one standing with her hands up as if shielding from the bright orange sun setting over a green seascape. The other figure, seated in the foreground, stares intently at the viewer. Pechstein's use of bold colors, particularly the bright yellow and orange hues, creates a dramatic and emotional atmosphere, characteristic of Expressionism. This painting showcases Pechstein's masterful use of color and brushwork, creating a powerful and captivating work.
