Schlangenkopf
ca. 1919
Max Beckmann’s sketch captures a snake's head with a raw, almost aggressive energy typical of his Expressionist style. Created around 1919, right after the chaos of World War I, his work often reflected the trauma and tension of the era. The rough, scribbled lines give the serpent a sense of movement and danger, as if it's about to strike right off the page. It's a quick study, but it packs a punch, showing how Beckmann could convey intense emotion with just a few strokes.
