크리스마스
1919
Max Beckmann’s 1919 piece 'Weihnachten' (Christmas) is a far cry from a cozy holiday card. Created in the aftermath of World War I, this chaotic scene captures the anxiety and distortion of the era through the lens of German Expressionism. Instead of a peaceful family gathering, jagged, angular figures are crammed into a skewed room, looking more like ghosts than celebrants. The standing figure on the right stares blankly while others huddle at a table, creating a tense atmosphere that reflects a world turned upside down.
