Max Pechstein's 'At the Lantern' is a striking Expressionist political poster depicting social unrest and rebellion, with a hanging figure and a surging crowd carrying red flags.
This powerful image, titled 'At the Lantern', is by German Expressionist artist Max Pechstein. The artwork presents a scene of political turmoil and social unrest. A figure hangs from a lamppost on the left, while a crowd of people, many carrying red flags, surges forward in the background. The style is raw and emotive, typical of Expressionist art, which sought to convey inner feelings and subjective experiences rather than objective reality. The composition is dynamic, with the diagonal lines of the flags and the forward movement of the crowd creating a sense of urgency and chaos. The limited colour palette, dominated by red, black, and a muted yellow, adds to the intensity of the scene. The hanging figure is a stark symbol of injustice and oppression, while the crowd represents a force of rebellion and change. The text at the top, in German, translates to 'To the Lantern', suggesting a call to action or a threat of violence. This artwork is a potent commentary on the political climate of its time, reflecting the social and political tensions that characterised early 20th-century Europe.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
