In the Box
1912
Step into the theater with August Macke in this lively 1912 sketch! A fashionable woman with a big, dark hat peers through her opera glasses, trying to get a better look at the faint figures performing on the distant stage. Beside her, a man sits quietly, while another stands with his hands clasped behind his back, perhaps waiting for the intermission. The loose, sketchy lines give the whole scene a feeling of being caught in a fleeting, candid moment, showcasing Macke's early Expressionist flair before he became famous for his vibrant colors.
