"Knabenakte" (translated as "Nude Boys") is a painting by German artist Franz Nolken (1884–1918), who was associated with the early Expressionist movement. Nolken's work is characterized by its emotional intensity and bold use of color, which is evident in "Knabenakte." The painting depicts a group of young boys in various poses of repose and play, rendered with a sense of immediacy and a loose, expressive brushwork that was typical of the German Expressionist style.

Franz Nolken was a member of the Hamburg Secession and was influenced by his contemporaries in the Die Brücke group, though he maintained his own distinct approach to form and composition. "Knabenakte" reflects the artist's fascination with the purity of childhood and the human form, themes that were common among Expressionist artists of the time. The painting's composition, with its candid portrayal of nudity and the carefree nature of its subjects, invites contemplation on the innocence and freedom of youth, set against the backdrop of a society on the cusp of dramatic change during the early 20th century.

Unfortunately, due to Nolken's untimely death in the First World War and the relatively small body of work he left behind, "Knabenakte" and other paintings by Nolken are not as widely known or studied as those of his contemporaries. Nonetheless, "Knabenakte" stands as a testament to Nolken's artistic vision and his contribution to the Expressionist movement. The painting is significant for its historical context, its reflection of the artist's personal style, and its place within the broader narrative of German art during a period of great innovation and upheaval.
