Painting
August Macke was one of the great Colourists of German Expressionism, his paintings clearly inspired by Fauvism, Cubism, Futurism, and Abstraction. Macke’s daily scenes of elegant urban flâneurs window-shopping, promenading through the park, or ambling around the zoo, are characterized by dynamic use of light and bright, harmonious colours. However, what was a promising artistic career was cut short in 1914, when, aged only 27, Macke died at the French front, a few weeks after the declaration of World War One.
