“Solo” is an oil on canvas painting created by Max Weber in 1918. This expressionist genre painting is part of a private collection.
The artwork portrays two seated figures, both absorbed in musical activities. The individual on the left, donning a green garment, is depicted playing a stringed instrument, with a solemn expression signifying deep concentration. Beside them, another figure in a golden-yellow robe holds a book, potentially singing or playing another instrument. The setting suggests an intimate, perhaps sacred environment, accentuated by the arched architecture in the background. The use of bold, exaggerated forms and striking color contrasts reflect the expressionist movement’s emphasis on emotional experience over realism.
