Here is part 3 of my long visit of the Kunsthalle Hamburg when I visited Germany last month.
Sonia Delaunay-Terk, Portrait of Tchouiko, 1908 – Oil on Canvas – I love the background the colors but especially how she painted the hands.
Adolf Erbslöh, Spring 1909 – oil on canvas
Love how the sky and the trees are mostly created with small little brush marks while the buildings and ground is differently painted.
Lyonel Feininger, Spring – 1936 – oil on canvas
Loved seeing this and Erbslöh painting close to each other since they had the same title – and depict houses but yet so different.
Lyonel Feininger, East Choir of Halle Cathedral, 1931- oil on Canvas
I love love love this earlier Feininger – it still has a feel of collage and architectural drawing to it which I like better than the more advanced cubist painting before.
Robert Delaunay, The Towers of Laon, 1912 – oil on canvas
Max Beckmann, The Bearing of the Cross, 1911 – Oil on Canvas
I am a huge Max Beckmann fan – and seeing a bigger collection of his work was a treat – see how different this work is to the next ones
Max Beckmann, Portrait of a Rumanian Woman – 1922 – oil on canvas
Max Beckmann, Large Still Live with Fish – 1927 – Oil on Canvas
Max Beckmann, Adam and Eve, 1936 – Coated Plaster
I love this …it is so symbolic to me especially right now with all the stuff going on in this country.
Max Beckmann, Girl with Yellow Cat (on grey), 1937 – oil on canvas
this makes me laugh – the cat is hilarious – the cat is also not yellow …love it :)
Max Beckmann, Prometheus (The Man Left Hanging), 1942 – oil on canvas
the title alone makes me laugh- poor Prometheus
Max Beckmann, Before the Ball (Two Women with a Cat) , 1949 – Oil on canvas
Def. didn’t improve on the cat…hahahah – I love it!
Edvard Munch – Girls on the Bridge – 1901 – oil on canvas
they were def. doing better when some of his other subjects on this bridge ;)
And that was it from the Kunsthalle- and btw- isn’t that a pretty cool bannister! Hope you enjoyed my Kunsthalle Art Stroll . You can find all the Art Strolls from around the world right here if you want to take a little Museum’s trip :)

Such a variety of art work by Max Beckmann!
I always like seeing the work you post/present after a museum visit Nat.
I wondered about the women and cats myself…thanks Janene.
East Choir of Halle Cathedral is my favorite by far. It just begs me to look at it again and again.

They’re all fabulous in their own way, but I particularly liked Max Beckmann, Portrait of a Rumanian Woman and Adolf Erbslöh, Spring 1909.
And what was up with Max Beckmann’s fascination with women and cats?? I had to know, so through the magic of the Inter-web, I found an article on the website “The Great Cat”: https://www.thegreatcat.org/the-cat-in-art-and-photos-2/cats-in-art-20th-century/max-beckmann-1843-1950-german/ Apparently Max thought women were similar to cats in promiscuity and domesticity. Meow!!
