猫
1915
Max Beckmann captured this sleeping feline with frantic, scratchy ink lines that bring the fur to life, even as the animal rests in total peace. Created in 1915 while the artist was serving as a medical orderly in the horrors of World War I, this sketch feels like a precious moment of quiet escape. The energetic shading and loose curves are classic Expressionism, prioritizing the feeling of the moment over photographic realism.
