Das Vater Unser (The Lord's Prayer)
Created in 1921, Max Pechstein's *Das Vater Unser (The Lord's Prayer)* is a suite of expressionist prints in which the artist interprets each verse of the iconic Christian prayer through bold, emotive imagery and vivid hand-applied color. Each sheet bears the pencil signatures of both Pechstein and printer Fritz Voigt, marking this as part of the rare deluxe edition of 50, distinguished from the larger run of 250 by its distinctive hand-coloring. Published by Propyläen-Verlag in Berlin, the individually framed prints reflect Pechstein's signature Expressionist style, combining raw graphic energy with a deeply spiritual sensibility.
