방돌의 작은 풍경 by Max Beckmann, 1938

Max Beckmann captured this view of the French coastal town of Bandol in 1938, shortly after fleeing Nazi Germany and being labeled a creator of 'degenerate art.' A massive, dark tree branch sweeps across the top like a protective arm, framing a serene turquoise bay and a distant village nestled against green hills. While the subject is a peaceful landscape, the bold, jagged brushstrokes and high contrast reveal his Expressionist roots, suggesting that even in paradise, the artist's internal tension remained. It’s a fascinating glimpse into a moment of exile, where the beauty of the south of France offered a brief respite from a world falling apart.
