"The Storm" (German: "Der Sturm") is a 1911 oil painting by German Expressionist artist August Macke, known for his vibrant use of color and innovative artistic techniques. As a member of Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider), a group of artists at the forefront of the early 20th-century avant-garde movement in Munich, Macke played a significant role in the development of Expressionism in Germany.

Measuring 120.5 x 80 cm, "The Storm" is a prime example of Macke's exploration of dynamic composition and the emotional resonance of color. The painting depicts a scene of urban tumult, possibly inspired by the bustling streets of Berlin, where Macke spent a significant period in 1911. The work is characterized by its fragmented forms, bold outlines, and a palette that juxtaposes muted tones with areas of intense color, reflecting the influence of Fauvism and French modernism on Macke's art.

In "The Storm," Macke captures the energy and chaos of a cityscape undergoing rapid change, with figures huddled against a tempestuous environment. The painting's title suggests a literal storm, but it may also metaphorically represent the social and cultural upheavals of the time. The fragmented appearance of the figures and the abstracted urban background convey a sense of movement and disorientation, themes that resonate with the Expressionist interest in depicting the psychological experiences of modern life.

"The Storm" is held in high regard for its innovative approach to form and color, as well as its reflection of the anxieties and excitement of the early 20th century. The painting is part of the collection at the Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus in Munich, Germany, where it continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the Expressionist movement and its encapsulation of the spirit of an era.

As an important work in August Macke's oeuvre, "The Storm" exemplifies the artist's brief but impactful career, which was tragically cut short by his death in World War I in 1914. The painting remains a testament to Macke's artistic vision and a valuable piece of art historical scholarship, offering insight into the evolution of modern art in the years leading up to the Great War.
