More about this artwork

"Two Girls" (1913) by August Macke is an exemplary painting that captures the essence of German Expressionism with its vibrant, abstract style and emotional depth. The work depicts two young women, standing close together, absorbed in a visually chaotic yet harmonious environment. The girl facing the viewer has dark hair and a contemplative expression, while the other, viewed from the side and slightly behind, shows only her profile.Macke’s use of bold, contrasting colors and fragmented geometric forms creates a dynamic and somewhat dissonant background, reflecting the complexity and flux of modern life. The organic forms and floral motifs suggest a natural setting, yet they are rendered with an abstract style that gives the painting a dreamlike quality. This juxtaposition of the natural and the abstract is a hallmark of Macke's approach to Expressionism, lending the scene both intimacy and intrigue.In this painting, Macke masterfully balances color and form to evoke mood and place. The intimacy between the two girls, combined with their enigmatic environment, invites viewers to ponder the relationship depicted and the broader context of the world around them.

August Macke (3 January 1887 – 26 September 1914) was a German Expressionist painter. He was one of the leading members of the German Expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider). He lived during a particularly innovative time for German art: he saw the development of the main German Expressionist movements as well as the arrival of the successive avant-garde movements which were forming in the rest of Europe. Like a true artist of his time, Macke knew how to integrate into his painting the elements of the avant-garde which most interested him.
