max-beckmann: The Skaters, Max Beckmann, 1932, Minneapolis Institute of Art: PaintingsGerman Expressionism. The picture encloses four figures in a tight, absurd configuration defined by a picture frame and a door frame. Two men dressed as harlequins raise a daringly balanced woman muffled up in winter attire. A waiter in tails with a tray full of champagne glasses slides between the figures. In the background is a broad sky, low-lying snow covered mountains, and two figures in a horse costume.Size: 50 ½ x 38 ½ in.
