Untitled 1913

"Untitled" (1913) by August Macke, a German Expressionist painter, portrays a vibrant still life of flowers in a vase, set against a window with a colorful, abstracted view beyond. Macke's use of bold, flat color and simplified forms, characteristic of the Expressionist movement, imbues the artwork with a sense of energy and emotion. The composition is particularly striking due to the way it balances the natural forms of the flowers with the geometric patterns of the window and the background. The piece exemplifies Macke's fascination with color and light, a hallmark of his short but influential career.
