The artwork, titled “Couple in the Woods,” was painted by August Macke in 1912. This piece belongs to the Orphism art movement and is a genre painting measuring 100 x 100 cm.
In this artwork, Macke employs vivid colors and geometric shapes to depict a couple immersed in a woodland setting. The figures appear to be partially abstracted, emphasizing the interplay of light and shadow through fragmented forms. The use of vibrant hues and angular patterns create a dynamic and harmonious composition, reflecting the Orphic style’s focus on color and form to convey lyrical and expressive qualities. The overall scene exudes a sense of tranquility and intimacy within the natural environment.
