The artist and his influence
August Macke, born in 1887 in Meschede, is one of the pioneers of German Expressionism. His career, tragically cut short by World War I, left an indelible mark on modern art. Influenced by movements such as Fauvism and Cubism, Macke developed a unique style that combines abstraction and figuration. His travels in France and Tunisia also enriched his palette and artistic vision. In "Two Girls," this influence is evident through the use of pure colors and dynamic forms. The work reflects a sensitivity to the beauty of everyday life, while exploring themes of youth and nature. Macke's contribution to art history is invaluable, and his legacy
