Max Weber — Three Heads
Max Weber

Three Heads

Three Heads is a striking gouache work by Max Weber in which bold, abstracted facial forms are rendered with the artist's characteristic fusion of Cubist fragmentation and Expressionist intensity. Weber employs rich, densely applied color to build three interlocking figures whose simplified yet emotionally charged features reflect his deep engagement with modernist experimentation. The intimacy of the gouache medium on paper lends the composition a raw, immediate quality that amplifies the work's psychological presence.
