“Family Reunion,” created by Max Weber in 1944, is an oil-on-canvas artwork that belongs to the Expressionism art movement and falls under the genre painting category.
The artwork depicts a scene with four figures gathered around a table, seemingly engaging in conversation. The characters are animated in their expressions and postures, each wearing distinctive attire that suggests different personalities and possibly cultural backgrounds. The colors are bold and the lines fluid, in keeping with the Expressionist style, which emphasizes emotion and individual perspective rather than realistic representation. The central figure, a woman in a red dress, is seated at the table, with three men around her, each wearing a hat and gesturing in various animated ways. The background is a blend of muted tones, which further highlights the vibrant characters and their interactions.
