Associated Names

Max Beckmann

Artist, German, 1884 - 1950

The image shows a composition of curved and wavy lines enclosed in a roughly square border. The shapes within the lines vaguely resemble human forms with circular elements. The abstract design allows for interpretations resembling a group of figures in dynamic movement. The light pencil lines are on a textured brown paper background.
