劇場
1916
Imagine the stage, but instead of a comedy, it's a nightmare—that's Max Beckmann's world in 1916. Fresh from the horrors of World War I where he worked as a medical orderly, Beckmann channeled his trauma into this frantic etching. Two faces mash together in a claustrophobic embrace, one grimacing and the other screaming, looking less like actors and more like survivors. The title 'Theater' is deeply ironic; with the word 'Prothesen' (prostheses) scribbled below, it hints at the shattered faces of soldiers, turning the stage into a place of psychological torment.
