August Macke: Picture 'Nude' (1913), version framed in black and silver colour

Product information "August Macke: Picture 'Nude' (1913), version framed in black and silver colour"

'The painting "Nude" is not only the cornerstone of the extensive collection of works by the artist August Macke at the LWL Museum of Art and Culture in Münster, but also an outstanding example of the artist's use of colour and his constant exploration of nude painting. He is particularly interested in the depiction of the figure's posture and form. The facial features - as is also evident in the 'Nude' - are often typified, reduced and abstracted. This contrasts with the postures of the models, which August Macke shows in classical, almost academic poses.
