Kopf (Head) [p. 54] 

Max Beckmann’s *Kopf (Head)* is a graphite sketch from his sketchbook, executed in an expressive, gestural style. The quick, angular lines suggest a profile view of a head. It’s a simple yet powerful study, characteristic of Beckmann’s later work. The German artist (1884–1950) created this sketch during his time in exile, a period of great emotional turmoil and artistic experimentation.
