No quadro "Tales of the sea, 1920", uma mulher com um vestido vermelho inclina-se para a frente para falar com uma jovem que está de costas para nós, enquanto que outra mulher observa. O título da obra sugere que ela está a contar uma história sobre as aventuras no mar. O artista utiliza contornos pretos e fortes e cores contrastantes e dramáticas, colocando o vermelho do vestido sobre o verde e o azul do mar. A cor e a linha eram fundamentais para a obra de Pechstein, o que o associa ao grupo dos expressionistas alemães denominado Die Brüke. Pechstein era o único membro do grupo que tinha formação académica em arte. Pintando muitas vezes figuras nuas em cenários paisagistas, ele procurou evocar uma sensação de homem em harmonia com a natureza. A obra deste autor desenvolveu-se em especial sob a influência de Matisse e de Vincent van Gogh mas, na altura em que fez este quadro, ele tinha desenvolvido um interesse pela Arte Primitiva, uma fonte de inspiração que se reflecte na angularidade semelhante a uma máscara e nos olhos arregalados da mulher. Max Pechstein nasceu em Zwickau (ALE) em 1881 e morreu em Berlim (ALE) em 1955.
...................................................................................................................
(1881-1955) Max Pechstein's artistic talent was discovered and encouraged at a very early age. His conventional career, first as an apprentice with a Zwickau painting master, then at the Dresden Kunstgewerbeschule and finally at the Dresden Akademie under the decorative painter Otto Gußmann, provided Pechstein with a sound craftsmanship. His ceiling painting at the Dresden Arts and Crafts Exhibition in 1906, with such an unconventional colour scheme that the organisers had it sprayed with grey paint to soften the colours, attracted Erich Heckel's attention. He then invited Pechstein to join the artist group ,Die Brücke' which had been founded the year before in opposition to Impressionism. The group's aim was to "attract all revolutionary and restless forces" (Schmidt-Rottluff) and an emphasis of the power of colour in painting. In this environment Pechstein's Expressionist style developed further, concentrating on elaborating the focal point of the painting with a sparse painting technique. The artist moved to Berlin in 1908 and became a co-founder of the ,Neue Sezession'. He painted figures, still lifes and landscapes in a moderately Expressionist style. Perhaps it was this, which lead to the artist's early and continuing success. From 1945 Pechstein taught at the Berlin Akademie der Künste. Before that time, during the Third Reich, he was slandered as a "degenerate" artist. Apart from paintings his oeuvre includes more than 850 woodcuts, lithographs and engravings.
