About this work

You see a crowded party scene with people drinking and having a good time. The partygoers are all dressed up, but they look unhappy and drunk. This painting is interesting because it shows how people were feeling during a difficult time in Germany. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of another artist, Max Beckmann.
