1919
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Mother and Child (recto) is a 1919 by Max Pechstein, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a woman holding a baby, both drawn in loose, quick lines. The woman’s body is turned slightly away, while the baby faces forward with a simple, round head. The lines are uneven, almost like scribbles, with some areas filled in lightly. The drawing feels raw and unfinished, as if made fast. The artist left big gaps of paper showing, making it look more like a study than a polished work. If you like this style, check out Max Pechstein.
Hermann Max Pechstein (German pronunciation: ; 31 December 1881 – 29 June 1955) was a German expressionist painter and printmaker and a member of the Die Brücke group.
