The artwork, titled “Woman in Park,” was created by the artist August Macke in 1914. Crafted using oil on canvas, this piece is an exemplar of the Expressionism art movement. It is a portrait genre, measuring 38 x 23 cm.
In the artwork, a woman is depicted standing in a park. The portrayal is characterized by vivid, bold colors and abstract forms typical of Expressionism. She wears a bright yellow hat adorned with flowers and a red dress, complemented by patterned gloves and a white umbrella. The background features a mix of contrasting colors—green, purple, orange, and blue—accentuating the abstract nature of the surrounding environment. The use of strong, non-naturalistic colors serves to evoke emotions and bring a sense of dynamism to the artwork. The woman’s serene expression amidst the lively colors and shapes encapsulates the essence of Expressionist portraiture.
