Standing Figure 1954

Max Weber's 1954 print "Standing Figure" depicts a simplified, almost skeletal form of a human figure, rendered in red-brown tones against a pale background. The figure is partially obscured, suggesting movement and an ephemeral presence. This work is a prime example of Weber's distinctive style, characterized by its abstract and expressive qualities, which emerged from his exploration of Cubism and Expressionism. This bold and simplified figure exemplifies the artist's focus on capturing the essence of human form through a simplified visual language, leaving space for viewers' own interpretations.
