"Begegnung" (German for "Encounter") is a notable painting by the German Expressionist artist August Macke, created in 1913. This work is emblematic of Macke's style during a period when he was associated with Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider), a group of artists united in their interest in abstracted forms and the expressive potential of color. "Begegnung" is characterized by its vibrant palette and the interplay of colors, which was a central aspect of Macke's artistic philosophy.

The painting depicts a scene of two elegantly dressed women passing by each other, possibly on a city street. Their forms are simplified and stylized, reflecting Macke's move towards abstraction and his fascination with the dynamic of urban life. The use of bold, contrasting colors and the reduction of form to essential shapes demonstrate the influence of Fauvism and Orphism, as well as the impact of his contemporaries like Franz Marc and Wassily Kandinsky.

"Begegnung" is often discussed in the context of Macke's brief but impactful career, which was cut short by his death in World War I in 1914. The painting is considered a significant example of early 20th-century German Expressionism, capturing the spirit of modernity and the aesthetic innovations that defined the movement. It is held in high esteem for its contribution to the development of modern art and for its reflection of the cultural and social changes of the time.

As a testament to its importance, "Begegnung" has been featured in numerous exhibitions and is frequently cited in scholarly works on August Macke and German Expressionism. The painting is housed in a prominent museum collection, ensuring its accessibility to the public and its continued influence on the appreciation and understanding of Expressionist art.
