The artwork titled “The Family of the Painter Adalbert Trillhaase,” created by Otto Dix in 1923, belongs to the Expressionism movement and falls into the portrait genre. It is currently housed at the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart in Stuttgart, Germany.
The artwork portrays three individuals, presumably family members of the painter Adalbert Trillhaase. The setting appears to be an indoor space with intricate and somewhat darkly hued wallpaper adorned with floral patterns. The central focus is on two seated figures, an older man with a distinguished mustache wearing a suit, and a woman in an elaborate dress with a lace collar. Both figures are placed around a small table, which holds a vase with three roses. Standing behind them is a younger figure, dressed in a brown suit, who gazes outward with a solemn expression. The background includes a framed portrait of another individual and a backdrop of a classical architectural structure with columns. The depiction of the family members exhibits a distinctive stylization characteristic of the Expressionism movement, emphasizing exaggerated features and emotive expressions.
