summary
Born in Bialystock, the American Expressionist painter Max Weber (1881-1961) studied under Henri Matisse. He was greatly influenced by the Cubist movement and African tribal art - as can seen in this domestic Sabbath scene. Weber’s highly expressionistic art became more personal in his works relating to religious themes and practices and the spiritual life. The present lithograph is based upon the 1919 painting “Sabbath” (Jewish Museum, New York) and is highly representative of the Cubist influence, an avant-garde movement he was responsible for helping introduce to the United States.
11 x 7.5 inches.
