Max Slevogt was a leading figure in German Impressionism and an important contributor to the Berlin Secession. Renowned for his luminous landscapes and dynamic brushwork, he often depicted gardens, sunlight, and scenes of leisure. Over time, his work also engaged with elements of Expressionism. The present group of photographs includes images of Slevogt painting in his studio circa 1930, painting en plein air in 1918, a group portrait of Berlin Secession members, and views from his funeral - offering a rare visual chronicle of the artist’s life and legacy. – Some with silver mirroring in edges, otherwise in very good condition.
