{"product_id":"womens-bath-max-beckmann","title":"Women's Bath - Max Beckmann","description":"\u003cp\u003eA striking 1922 drypoint by Max Beckmann, capturing a crowded bathing scene with sharp, expressive lines and a distinctively modern, psychological focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMax Beckmann produced this drypoint, Women's Bath, in 1922. It represents his engagement with the human figure and social observation during the Weimar Republic. The composition is crowded, featuring several figures in various states of activity within a confined bathing space. A central figure is depicted in a dynamic, inverted pose, diving or jumping into the water, which creates a sense of spatial tension. Other figures stand or sit, their expressions and postures conveying a detached, almost clinical observation of the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeckmann uses sharp, angular lines characteristic of his drypoint technique. The marks are direct and unrefined, avoiding smooth transitions in favour of raw, expressive energy. The figures are rendered with a degree of distortion, reflecting the artist's interest in the psychological state of his subjects rather than a literal depiction of reality. The patterns on the swimsuits provide a graphic contrast to the fluid, horizontal lines representing the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work belongs to a period where Beckmann moved away from his earlier, more chaotic wartime imagery toward a style that examined the mundane aspects of modern life with a critical eye. The lack of traditional perspective and the compressed space force the viewer to focus on the individual interactions and the physical presence of the bathers. It is an example of the artist's ability to transform a common social setting into a scene of psychological weight. The print demonstrates his mastery of the drypoint medium, where the burr of the copper plate creates soft, velvety blacks that contrast with the stark white of the paper. This piece remains a clear example of the aesthetic concerns prevalent in German art during the 1920s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/konstellation-the-celebrities-otto-dix\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eKonstellation (The Celebrities) by Otto Dix\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/helft-dem-kruppel-heinrich-hoerle\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eHelft dem Krüppel by Heinrich Hoerle\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/collections\/max-beckmann\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMore by Max Beckmann →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Max Beckmann","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59462029246799,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59462040191311,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59462040224079,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59462040256847,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59462040289615,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59462040322383,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59462040355151,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59462040387919,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59462040420687,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59462040453455,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59462040486223,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59462040518991,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Women-s-Bath_Poster_CompositorV1_1792113325367.jpg?v=1794358310","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/fr\/products\/womens-bath-max-beckmann","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
