A watercolour by German Expressionist August Macke, 'Market in Algiers' captures a bustling marketplace with simplified forms and bold colours, reflecting the artist's North African travels and his membership in Der Blaue Reiter.
This watercolour by August Macke (1887-1914), a German Expressionist painter, depicts a market scene in Algiers. Macke was a member of the German Expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider), which aimed to express spiritual truths through art. His travels to North Africa in 1914, just before the outbreak of World War I, had a significant impact on his artistic style, leading to a brighter palette and a focus on light and colour. He was killed in action in September 1914, shortly after the war began. The painting presents a bustling marketplace, rendered in Macke's characteristic style of simplified forms and bold colours. The composition is divided into distinct planes, with buildings and figures arranged in a semi-abstract manner. The palette is dominated by blues, yellows, and reds, creating a sense of warmth and vibrancy. The figures are depicted with minimal detail, their forms suggested by blocks of colour. The architecture of Algiers is hinted at through geometric shapes and the suggestion of a domed roof. The overall effect is one of immediacy and spontaneity, capturing the energy of the market.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
