Zwei Skizzen und Notizen (Two Sketches with Notations) [p. 17] 1914 - 1915

"Zwei Skizzen und Notizen (Two Sketches with Notations) [p. 17]" is a work on paper by the German Expressionist artist Max Beckmann, dating from 1914-1915. The work, executed in ink, is made up of two sketches on one page. Both sketches, drawn in a loose and gestural style, are likely portraits. Beckmann's sketches are known for their intense emotional content, often depicting figures in states of anxiety and unease. The artist's signature is present at the top of the page, and the drawings are accompanied by handwritten notes. These notes, written in German, likely relate to the sketches but remain undeciphered.
