ライオンのカップル
1921
Max Beckmann’s 1921 'Lion Couple' captures a moment of raw, almost domestic tension between two big cats. The male lion throws his head back in a massive roar, while the lioness stares intensely forward, her paws resting possessively on a large bone. A grooming brush lies abandoned nearby, hinting that these kings of the jungle might actually be circus performers or captives rather than wild beasts. Created in the chaotic years following World War I, Beckmann used his signature Expressionist style—jagged lines and raw energy—to turn these animals into symbols of the anxiety and raw emotion of the time.
