Hermann Max Pechstein was a German painter and a key figure of Expressionism. He was a founding member of the influential artists’ group Die Brücke, which sought to break away from academic traditions and express raw emotion through art. Pechstein is known for his bold, non-naturalistic colors, strong outlines, and simplified forms, often inspired by nature, coastal landscapes, and scenes of everyday life. His work reflects a search for harmony between humans and nature and played an important role in shaping early 20th-century
