Cesar Klein


César Klein was a German Expressionist painter and designer, probably best known as one of the founders the November Group and the Arbeitsrat für Kunst. He studied at the Hamburg School of Applied Arts, the Düsseldorf Art Academy, and the Royal Museum of Applied Arts in Berlin.

This female nude is a distinct example of skin painted in a multitude of colours. Skin itself contains most colours. Throughout a simple movement by the arm there can be a flurry of combinations made by colours. The shadows cast on the skin, moles, cuts, hair, blemishes, light, muscle movement and many others factors.

This painting has a splendid contrast of a multitude of colours with the bright white pages of the book.
