On the Street 1914

"On the Street" is a watercolor painting by German Expressionist artist August Macke, painted in 1914. The work features a vibrant palette of blues, reds, greens, and yellows, characteristic of Macke's style. Simplified forms and geometric shapes are used to depict figures in a street scene, possibly in Tunisia where Macke traveled extensively. This painting exemplifies the artist's fascination with the bright colors and patterns of North African culture, a theme prominent in his work. Macke tragically died in World War I at the age of 27, leaving behind a significant body of work that explored the beauty and vibrancy of the world.
