His vibrant and dynamic compositions capture an era of profound change in European society and have had a lasting impact on modern art. Through more than fifty paintings, as well as drawings, woodcuts, photographs, and personal objects from the artist, can explore his extensive oeuvre and gain insight into the personal life of Max Pechstein at the Kunsthal.
