Dancer c. 1910

"Dancer" (c. 1910) is an ink drawing on paper by German Expressionist artist Max Pechstein. The work depicts a stylized female figure in a dance pose, with bold outlines and simplified forms characteristic of Expressionism. Pechstein's bold brushstrokes and simplified forms capture the dynamism and energy of the dancer, emphasizing the movement and emotion of the performance. The drawing is a powerful example of Pechstein's ability to capture the essence of his subjects, while simultaneously revealing the influence of contemporary dance on his artistic practice.
