とんがり帽子のペーター
1920
Meet Peter, a character sporting a towering, striped hat that looks like a mix between a wizard's cap and a jester's crown. Max Beckmann created this sharp portrait in 1920, right when Germany was trying to rebuild after the devastation of World War I. Instead of the dark, heavy themes he's often famous for, Beckmann gives us a figure with a mischievous, toothy smile holding a long pole, perhaps ready for a parade or a prank. The scratchy, energetic lines make the portrait feel alive and immediate, capturing a fleeting moment of youthful defiance in a serious world.
