" Four Girls" by August Macke is a famous painting by the artist depicting a group of four girls. After a visit to Paris in 1907, French Impressionism had a decisive impact on Rhineland artist August Macke. He concentrated on everyday motifs and placed the emphasis on both colour and visual immediacy.


In the spirit of German Expressionism, as a member of the group Blue Reiter and influenced by the dynamic-colourful painting of Robert Delaunay (Orphism) in the following years he created Paintings with simplified forms in rhythmic colour harmonies, in which representationalism and perspective begin to disappear in favour of an ornamental two-dimensionality. The portrayal of the Four Girls was produced in Macke’s highly productive time in Bonn, there is something contemplative about the scene in which the figures and the surrounding nature are shown in calm harmony. In his later works, influenced by his trip to Tunis in 1914, Macke was to further increase the transparency of colours, flatness and abstract forms.

August Macke (3 January 1887 – 26 September 1914) was one of the leading members of the German Expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider). He lived during a particularly innovative time for German art: he saw the development of the main German Expressionist movements as well as the arrival of the successive avant-garde movements which were forming in the rest of Europe. Like a true artist of his time, Macke knew how to integrate into his painting the elements of the avant-garde which most interested him.
