Painting Description
"Begrüssung" is an significant artwork by the renowned German Expressionist painter, August Macke. Painted in 1913, this composition presents two elegantly arrayed women in a floral garden, symbolizing a theme of welcoming or greeting ("Begrüssung" translates to 'Greeting' from German). A significant product of Macke's brief yet fruitful career, this artwork exemplifies his distinctive fusion of form and color, reflecting the influence of French Impressionism, Post-Impism, and the avant-garde Fauvist and Cubist movements.
Macke's color palette in "Begrüssung" veers towards vibrant and contrasting hues, which gives an otherworldly quality to mundane reality. Strikingly, he uses colors not necessarily as a precise description of nature, but as a means of expressing emotional responses. The two women, engrossed in a gentle, courteous interaction, are depicted with a touch of abstraction, making them integral elements in the overall rhythmic arrangement of colors and shapes. This indicates the influences of Cubism and perhaps a touch of Orphism.
"Begrüssung" fits into the chronology of Macke's work as a mature, final period piece, produced not long before his untimely death in World War I in 1914. It encapsulates his career-spanning exploration of capturing the ephemeral beauty of daily life and the human experience with experimental artistic approaches, contributing to the broader trajectory of early 20th-century European art's search for new modes of visual expression.
