Girl 1909

"Girl" is an etching by German Expressionist artist Max Pechstein, created in 1909. The print depicts a young woman, her face and shoulders filling the composition, with her body turned slightly away from the viewer. The artist's signature style is evident in the bold lines and simplified forms, giving the figure a sense of immediacy and emotional intensity. Pechstein, a member of the Brücke (The Bridge) group, was known for his bold use of color and his exploration of themes of sexuality, modernity, and urban life. The etching is a fine example of his work, showcasing his mastery of printmaking and his ability to capture the spirit of his time.
