Girl at the keyboards 1922

"Girl at the Keyboards" is a 1922 painting by Walter Gramatté, a German expressionist painter, known for his bold colors and simplified forms. This piece depicts a woman playing a keyboard instrument, seen from behind, while her reflection is visible in a mirror. The composition highlights the stark contrast of colors, particularly the striking blue wall and the red chair, creating a sense of depth and moodiness characteristic of Expressionism. This piece is a powerful example of Gramatté's unique style, which blended the emotional intensity of Expressionism with a simplified, geometric approach.
