Under the Trees- Max Pechstein

Under the Trees was painted by Max Pechstein. Max Painted this in 1911 on Oil on canvas, 29x39in and is currently held in the Detroit Institute of Arts. In this painting Max uses such vivid colors to express nature and humans going back to nature. All the colors almost blend together as if the humans and nature were almost one naturalistic scene. Max uses his knowledge of expressionism to really bring out the vibrant colors and show a beautiful nature scene on an Oil on canvas artwork. Max Pechstein was born December 31st 1881 and lived until June 29th 1955. He was a German Expressionist painter and a printmaker. He was also a member of Die Brucke group.
