Beskrivning
A dynamic 1910 Expressionist work by Max Pechstein, featuring bold colours and simplified forms to capture the energy of a busy horse market.
Max Pechstein, a member of the Die Brücke group, painted Horse Fair in 1910. This work captures a busy market scene through the lens of German Expressionism. The composition relies on bold, non-naturalistic colour choices and simplified forms to convey the energy of the event. Pechstein employs a palette dominated by yellow, blue, and deep red, which creates a sense of urgency and movement across the canvas.
The figures of the horses and the handlers are rendered with thick, expressive brushwork. The artist avoids fine detail, preferring to focus on the overall rhythm of the scene. The horses occupy the centre of the frame, surrounded by clusters of people in dark clothing. These figures act as silhouettes against the bright, almost acidic yellow ground. The architecture in the background is reduced to basic geometric shapes, which prevents the setting from distracting from the primary action of the fair.
As a key figure in the early twentieth-century avant-garde, Pechstein sought to move away from academic realism. His approach here reflects the desire of the Die Brücke artists to express raw emotion and vitality. The painting does not attempt to replicate the physical reality of a horse market. Instead, it offers a subjective interpretation of the atmosphere. The heavy outlines and flattened space are characteristic of his work during this period, showing his interest in both folk art and the influence of non-Western aesthetics. This print captures the texture of the original oil paint, allowing for a close examination of the artist's application of colour and his direct, unrefined approach to the subject matter.

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.
