Subject Matter
The Expressionist artist Max Pechstein made this woodcut during his years in Dresdan while he was a member of the Brücke group in 1907 (the date 1906 on certain impressions has been thought incorrect). Pechstein's long, curving cuts on the wood block smooth out the anatomy of these crouching male bathers and throw their physiques, sharply illuminated from the left, into stark relief.
