Wrestlers (Die Ringer) 1921

Max Beckmann's 1921 woodcut print "Wrestlers (Die Ringer)" depicts a scene of intense struggle and theatricality. The image captures the moment of a wrestling match, with one wrestler thrown into the air as the other pins him to the ground. The crowded scene suggests an audience observing the match, with the artist's signature angular style and bold lines contributing to the sense of dynamism and tension. Beckmann's print captures the raw energy and physicality of the sport, creating a powerful and visceral experience.
