More about this artwork

Max Beckmann's 1922 lithograph titled "Sarika" showcases the artist's distinctive mastery of line and form, with a potent psychological insight that permeates his work. This stark, expressive portrait highlights a female figure, captured in a style that blends realism with the abstract, a signature approach of Beckmann's artistry during this period.The artwork depicts the head and upper torso of a woman. Her face, animated and slightly turned, suggests a moment of either engagement or reflection. Beckmann employs bold, fluid lines to define her features, from the arched eyebrows and sharp eyes to the curve of her lips, imbuing the subject with a vivid expressiveness. Notably, Beckmann's technique of intense, almost sculptural line work contributes to the depth and character of the portrait, bringing an almost tactile sensation to the viewer."Sarika" is a compelling example of Beckmann's exploration of human emotions and the complex interplay of inner and outer selves. This drawing presents the viewer with more than just a visual experience; it is a profound dive into the psyche of its subject and, perhaps, of the society of his time.

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.
