Paar im Grase–Umarmung in einer Landschaft (A Couple on the Grass–An Embrace in a Landscape)

Max Klinger German

Not on view

Max Klinger was a painter, printer, sculptor and writer, but he was best known as a graphic artist. This early work is drawn in a looser, more fully elaborated style than his later work, in feathery strokes that tie the couple to the grass on which they recline. The erotic subject matter, however, is characteristic of Klinger's work throughout his career.
