(Two Sketches) [p. 17] 

Max Beckmann's "(Two Sketches)" are quick, gestural drawings that showcase the artist's signature style. The rough, angular lines and distorted figures are characteristic of Beckmann's work, particularly during his time in exile. These sketches, drawn on a page from a notebook, offer a glimpse into the artist's creative process. The quick lines and scribbled notes suggest spontaneity, while the composition conveys a sense of energy and movement. The sketches are likely preparatory studies for a larger work.
