Family Picture is a 1920 oil by Max Beckmann, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a group of people in a room. They're all looking at something, but it's not clear what. The people are painted in bold, geometric shapes, and the colors are muted, with lots of browns and grays. The painting has a sense of tension and unease. The people seem to be waiting for something to happen, but they're not sure what it is. The artist has used bold brushstrokes and vivid colors to create a sense of drama and emotion. If you like this painting, you might also like the work of Max Beckmann, who was a German artist known for his bold and expressive paintings.
