More about this artwork

Max Beckmann's intriguing etching "Die Fürstin" from 1918 showcases his mastery in portraying complex human emotions and interactions. The artwork features three figures entangled in an intimate, yet enigmatic assembly. The central character, presumably the princess ("Fürstin"), is depicted with a contemplative expression, resting her chin on her hand, her gaze directed outward lending a sense of introspective melancholy. Flanking her are two male figures, capturing a contrast in their expressions and engagement. The figure to her left appears more engaged with the viewer with a direct gaze, while the one on the right focuses intently on the central female figure.Beckmann's use of sharp, angular lines and the dense arrangement of the figures contributes to a feeling of constrained space and psychological intensity. This etching, like much of his work during this period, delves into themes of human psyche, social identity, and the underlying tensions of interpersonal relationships. The stark black and white composition heightens the dramatic and somewhat unsettling mood, inviting viewers into a deeper contemplation of the narrative and emotional currents flowing between the subjects.

Actors, cabaret singers, heroes and thugs in a harsh postwar urban life by German artist Max Beckmann (1884-1950). His paintings show boldness, lust, and pain through delineated figures. The Nazi rule forced Beckmann to resign as an art professor and declared his artworks as degenerate. He later left for America where he lived in exile, yet remained active as an artist.
