Six-day race in Berlin 20 - 1909

"Six-day race in Berlin" (1909) by Max Slevogt is a dynamic portrayal of a cycling event in Berlin, capturing the excitement of the crowd gathered to watch the race. Slevogt, known for his expressive brushstrokes and use of color, utilized a loose and gestural style to depict the energy of the scene, showcasing the dynamism of the cycling race and the audience's participation. This work, now housed in the Städel Museum, demonstrates Slevogt's talent for capturing the essence of modern life through a blend of realism and abstraction.
