More about this artwork

"Reclining Woman (Portrait of Johanna Loeb)" is an evocative piece created by the German artist Max Beckmann in 1922. This work portrays a woman, Johanna Loeb, in a state of repose, capturing a moment of introspection or perhaps melancholy. Beckmann's use of bold, confident lines and the minimalistic approach emphasizes the expression on the woman's face, which conveys a deep sense of contemplation.The drawing is defined primarily by its stark forms and the contrast between the sharply drawn figure and the softer, sketchier surroundings. Laid out in a leisurely pose, Johanna Loeb is depicted with her head resting on one hand, suggesting a moment of rest or fatigue. Adjacent to her is a table with two candlesticks, elements that might signify the passage of time or the presence of a quiet, intimate setting.Max Beckmann, known for his expressive figuration, conveys not just the physical appearance of his subjects, but their psychological resonance as well. This portrait is a compelling example of his ability to catch fleeting personal moments and project them with an intense emotional clarity.

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.
