More about this artwork

"Woman with Candle" is a captivating artwork by the esteemed German artist Max Beckmann, dating back to 1920. This piece is executed in a strikingly bold, expressionist style characteristic of Beckmann's approach to form and emotion.The painting features the portrait of a woman, depicted with sharp, angular lines that emphasize a sense of intensity and depth. Her gaze appears reflective yet distant, perhaps suggesting an internal contemplation or resignation. In her hands, she gently yet securely holds a candle, the flame of which adds a subtle but poignant touch of illumination to the composition. This light not only highlights her features but also casts intriguing shadows that play across her face and the objects surrounding her.This work may symbolize hope, guidance, or the passage of time—themes often explored in Beckmann’s art. The stark black-and-white contrasts underscore the drama of the moment captured, focusing viewers' attention on the interplay of light and darkness.

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.
