Beschreibung
A 1919 ink drawing by German Expressionist Max Pechstein, capturing a tender moment between mother and child through fluid, minimalist lines.
Max Pechstein, a member of the Die Brücke group, produced this ink drawing in 1919. The work displays the characteristic economy of line associated with his post-war graphic output. By this stage in his career, Pechstein had moved away from the aggressive, jagged forms of his earlier Expressionist period, favouring a more fluid, rhythmic approach to the human figure.
The composition focuses on the physical connection between the mother and the infant. The artist uses minimal strokes to define the contours of the bodies, allowing the negative space of the paper to suggest volume and form. The mother is depicted in a kneeling posture, her arm reaching towards the child, who sits in the foreground with arms crossed. The lines are confident and direct, demonstrating the artist's ability to capture a sense of movement and domestic intimacy without the need for shading or complex detail.
This drawing reflects the broader interest among German Expressionists in themes of maternity and the primitive, which they often associated with a return to a more authentic, unmediated experience of life. The choice of ink on a neutral, light-brown paper ground provides a stark contrast, ensuring the focus remains on the gestural quality of the drawing. The work is signed and dated in the lower right corner, a common practice for Pechstein, who maintained a prolific output of prints and drawings throughout his life. This piece offers a clear example of his mature graphic style, where the focus is placed on the essential relationship between the subjects through a simplified, almost calligraphic, visual language.

Mother and Child - Max Pechstein
Artist Biography
Max Pechstein
He was born in Zwickau in 1881 and apprenticed as a decorator from 1896 to 1900 before studying at the Dresden art school. Erich Heckel invited him to join Die Brucke in 1906. Contact with Matisse pushed his palette toward jarring, unmixed colour, but his compositions retained a warmth and legibility that made them easier to sell than the work of his peers.
At the outbreak of the First World War he was interned in Japan and returned to Germany via Shanghai, Manila and New York. He saw action at the Somme and suffered a nervous breakdown. In 1918 he co-founded the Novembergruppe, a left-wing artists' group that demanded artist involvement in postwar social policy.
The Nazis classified his work as degenerate. Over three hundred paintings were seized from German museums. He was banned from exhibiting and dismissed from the Prussian Academy. He produced 421 lithographs, 315 woodcuts and linocuts, and 165 etchings over his career, making him one of the most prolific printmakers of the Expressionist generation. After the war he was rehabilitated, given a professorship in Berlin and elected to the Academy of Arts. He died in Berlin in 1955, at seventy-three.
