Three Women in the Studio

1908

Step into Max Beckmann's 1908 studio, where he captures three women in a refreshingly candid moment of dressing and undressing. One figure stretches to tie up her hair while another, wrapped in a white sheet, pulls on a dark stocking, all painted with thick, moody brushstrokes that scream early Expressionism. Instead of giving us a polished, idealized goddess, Beckmann serves up a raw, gritty slice of real life, foreshadowing the intense, psychological dramas he would become famous for later on.
