The artwork, “Untitled” by August Macke, created in 1913, exemplifies the Expressionism art movement. This still life painting, rendered in oil on canvas, measures 65.09 x 46.99 cm and currently resides in a private collection.
The artwork presents a vivid still life composition featuring an arrangement of flowers in a vase. The vibrant colors and dynamic brushstrokes typical of Expressionism envelop the scene, imbuing it with emotional intensity and a sense of movement. The background, consisting of bold, almost abstract shapes and hues, contrasts with the detailed rendering of the floral arrangement, enhancing the visual appeal and depth of the painting. The interplay of light and shadow, alongside the rich palette of colors, underscores the artist’s mastery in conveying both the beauty and fleeting nature of the subject matter.
