男孩與龍蝦
1926
Max Beckmann’s 1926 sketch presents a lanky, pale-faced boy standing barefoot, solemnly displaying a giant, spiky lobster like a bizarre trophy. The figure looks almost like a street performer or a mime, with that stark white-washed face contrasting against the dark, scratchy lines of the crustacean. As a key figure in German Expressionism, Beckmann often focused on outsiders, circus performers, and the gritty reality of life in the Weimar Republic. This drawing feels like a snapshot from a strange sideshow, capturing a moment of quiet unease between a fragile boy and his hard-shelled catch.
