Max Pechsteins

Max Pechsteins painting called "Zwiesprache" (Two Voices) painted in 1920 is of two nude females conversing in a landscape. Its condition is unusually fine, with strong boldly printed colors. The sheet has only some soft creasing in the margins. The subject matter is most probably sexuality and it incorporates the angular forms of Oceanic and African art. The two nudes have a brownish-yellow color with white black outlines. The background of the two nudes are diagonal and symmetrical lines enhanced with luminous blue color. The figures are very abstract with a simple humanistic form and they aren't looking at the observer but at each other.

It seems like that Max Pechstein has painted the two nude females from models. "Two Voices" indicates an adept cutting technique where strokes are deeply cut into the woodblock. His woodcut resembles Picasso's "les demoiselles d'avigon". The nudes look like wooden figures but Pechsteins does not have fragments in his figures compared to Picasso's overlapping flat planes and angular lines. And Pechstein was not a cubist; he was influenced by African art, which one can see in the faces and lines of the figure. The visage mirror African masks and the bodies can be associated with wood


The painting is powerful because of the juxtaposition of the orange and the black colors, contrasted by the uncolored areas. His use of black makes the white figure the main focal point. The forms of his painting are organized against a flat neutral background and are painted in a limited range of bright colors. It is also strong because the subject matter is elusive, meaning and function is unknown and the form is unrecognized. The technique seems to start at the canvases with random washes and build upon the forms generated sponges. His design is curricular, fluid, and more organic than geometric formations.

Miro was definitely seeking for attention with his paintings. He remains to the basic Surrealistic principle of freeing the creative forces of the unconscious mind from control by logic and reason, declining to consider traditional aptitudes of pictorial portraiture and composition, and fusing the impulsive expressions of a logical fantasy with the reality of experience into pictorial creation. He was able to present an original subject matter in an unprecedented and fantastic way. I guess, he thought he was creating something more real than reality itself and far more significant than mere copies of the everyday world. Therefore he seems to be a great Surrealist abstract artists.

Andre Breton, a surrealist and Siegmund Freud's admirer, once said "If the depths of our mind contain within it [...] strange forces capable of augmenting those on the surface, or of waging a victorious battle against them, there is every reason to seize them...". In his first "Manifesto of Surrealism" he seems to be more than a mere admirer of Freud's; he seems to believe that psychoanalysis could be used not only to treat mental illness, but to transform life generally. This is a very
