Beskrivning
A 1910 Expressionist work by Max Pechstein, depicting bathers in the Moritzburg lakes with bold colours and simplified forms.
Max Pechstein, a member of the Die Brücke group, painted Badende in Moritzburg in 1910. This work captures the collective retreat of the artists to the lakes near Dresden, where they sought a return to a more primitive, uninhibited existence. The composition features a group of bathers set against a dense, dark forest and a sky rendered in intense, non-naturalistic blue.
The figures are depicted with simplified forms and bold, dark outlines, a hallmark of the Expressionist style. Pechstein employs a high-contrast palette, placing warm, ochre-toned bodies against the cool, deep greens of the foliage and the striking blue of the sky. The brushwork is energetic and direct, prioritising emotional expression over anatomical precision. The scene reflects the group's interest in the harmony between humanity and nature, stripped of the conventions of urban life.
By 1910, Pechstein had moved away from the more academic training of his early years, embracing the raw, subjective approach that defined the German Expressionist movement. The bathers are not individual portraits but rather archetypal figures, integrated into the environment through the use of colour and form. The yellow cloth in the foreground provides a base for the seated figures, anchoring them within the composition while contrasting with the surrounding greenery. This piece offers a glimpse into the creative atmosphere of the Moritzburg sessions, where the artists experimented with colour theory and composition to convey a sense of freedom and vitality. The work remains a clear example of the stylistic shift occurring in early twentieth-century German art, moving towards abstraction and the subjective interpretation of the physical world.

Badende in Moritzburg - 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.
