"Maschka with Mask," Otto Mueller, c. 1919-21.
A nice bit of German Expressionism. The artist's wife looks sexily over her shoulder, while an odd mask is next to her face. This was painted at a time when their marriage was ending; he seems to be expressing mixed emotions about it, even though he was leaving her for someone else.
A lot of Mueller works were destroyed as "degenerate" by the Third Reich.
From the Museum Folkwang, Essen, Germany.

Because #OttoDix was born #otd 121 years ago, he who desired to sublimate her presence on a #canvas.
"'I must #paint you! I simply must!... You are representative of an entire epoch!'
He was afterwards, after traversing #WorldWarI, classified as #degenerateart by the nazis, arrested and sent to the front for plotting to kill Hitler.
And arrested again by the #Allies.
For #art.
What epoch is ours? Who represents us?

"Hitler even declared, “The Dadaists, Cubists, and those futuristic expressive ones and those objective chatterers will under no circumstances participate in our cultural renaissance.”
