Fraukopf 1911

"Fraukopf," a 1911 watercolor by German Expressionist painter Max Pechstein, is a striking example of his simplified style. The painting's bold colors, fluid lines, and distorted features represent a departure from traditional portraiture. Pechstein's signature, "MP," is prominently displayed in the lower right corner. While the subject's identity remains unknown, the title, "Woman's Head," suggests an exploration of female beauty through a subjective lens. The work demonstrates Pechstein's focus on conveying emotion and inner experience rather than realistic detail.
