Fine Art Friday - The Letter M Edition

I wanted something unexpected for Fine Art Friday this week, so I decided to spotlight the work of a German artist, August Macke. He was killed on the French front in 1914. What a shame. He was friends with Franz Marc, Kandinsky and Klee. You can read more about him on Artchive. The colors and forms are glorious.

the hat shop is absolutely beautiful. i love the overt femininity of the woman and the hats expressed by all of the curves, juxtaposed by the hard straight lines of the building and the street. just loverly.
