This work reflects Weber's expressive figurative style and his interest in sculptural form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eMax Weber was a central figure in the introduction of European modernism to the United States. Born in Russia and moving to New York as a child, he later studied in Paris where he became acquainted with Henri Matisse and Henri Rousseau. This lithograph, titled Mirror, No. 2, dates from 1928. It demonstrates Weber's shift from his earlier Cubist experiments toward a sculptural figurative style.\n\nThe composition features five female figures in an interior. The figures are rendered with heavy, dark outlines and tonal shading that suggests volume. Weber uses the lithographic crayon to create a range of textures, from the dense blacks of the background to the softer greys on the skin of the subjects. The arrangement of the women, some standing and others reclining, creates a sense of depth within the shallow space.\n\nIn this work, Weber explores the classical theme of the toilette. The figures are engaged in various stages of dressing or grooming. A mirror serves as a point of interest for the figures in the background. The influence of Paul Cézanne is visible in the simplified forms and the way the figures are integrated into the surrounding space. This print is part of a series where Weber examined the female form through a modernist lens. He prioritised structural solidity over delicate detail.\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=\"\/products\/poisson-et-algues-papier-peint-pigeon-et-pavots-bordure-de-vitrail-maurice-pillard-verneuil\" 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;\"\u003ePoisson et Algues, Papier Peint \/ Pigeon et Pavots, Bordure de Vitrail - Maurice Pillard Verneuil — Maurice Pillard Verneuil\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/harvesting-wheat-in-the-west-edward-penfield\" 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;\"\u003eHarvesting Wheat in the West - Edward Penfield — Edward Penfield\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Max Weber","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57843872334159,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57850234765647,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57850234798415,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57850234831183,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57850234863951,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Mirror-No_Poster_CompositorV1_1780444443826.jpg?v=1780533260","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/mirror-no-2-max-weber","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
