横たわる像 by Max Beckmann, 1922

Max Beckmann carved this bold, scratchy image of a lounging nude into a plate around 1922, capturing the raw, angular energy of German Expressionism. The sharp lines make the figure look both relaxed and intensely present as she stretches out on a chaise longue, arm thrown back in a casual pose. Created during the chaotic Weimar Republic era, Beckmann ditched traditional pretty ideals for a visceral honesty that feels surprisingly modern today.
