Painted in 1930, Max Pechstein's 'The Big Indian' is an Expressionist portrait characterised by bold colours and simplified forms. The sitter, adorned in vibrant attire, dominates the canvas, conveying a sense of presence and personality.
Max Pechstein (1881-1955) was a German Expressionist painter and printmaker. A member of the Die Brücke group, Pechstein's work is known for its bold colours and simplified forms, often depicting figures and scenes from nature or exotic cultures. His artistic journey involved experimentation with various styles, but he remained committed to conveying emotion and experience through his art. He was later ostracised by the Nazi regime for his 'degenerate' art. 'The Big Indian', painted in 1930, exemplifies Pechstein's Expressionist style. The sitter, rendered in vivid colours, is seated in a yellow wicker chair. He wears a red turban and shirt, with a patterned skirt in pink, green, and white. The background is a patchwork of blues, greens, and whites, creating a sense of depth and movement. The composition is bold and direct, with the figure dominating the canvas. The use of colour and form conveys a sense of the sitter's presence and personality.

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.
