Painted in 1912, this work belongs to the brief, brilliant period when German artist August Macke was helping define German Expressionism while also shaping a language distinct from the more spiritual abstractions around Der Blaue Reiter. He was drawn to modern life, fashion, leisure, and the visual pleasure of people seen in parks, streets, shop windows, and gardens. Here, he turns a simple gathering of girls into a meditation on harmony, youth, and perception itself. Four girls gather closely beneath dense, dark green trees in a vivid, stylized garden. Their faces are simplified and softly downcast, giving the group a quiet, introspective mood. One girl at left wears a blue dress with angular white sleeves and dark hair framing her face. At center, a blonde girl in a rose-red dress stands with her head bowed. At right, another blonde girl in a broad yellow hat sits in profile, wearing blue and white. In the foreground, a fourth girl is seen mostly from behind, her long golden-orange hair falling over a pale white and pink garment. Around them, leaves, tree trunks, and sharp patches of green, black, blue, white, pink, and yellow compress the space so that the figures seem nestled into the landscape rather than separated from it. The fusion of person and environment is central to Macke’s art as modern life becomes lyrical, ordered, and fleeting. Macke once wrote of his delight in “the blazing sun and trees, shrubs, human beings,” and that generous joy feels present here. Made just two years before his death in World War I at age twenty-seven, "Vier Mädchen" carries both freshness and fragility for a modern vision of female companionship suspended in a world of radiant calm.

Und leider hatte seine Wahlheimat, die Bundeshauptstadt Bonn, seinerzeit zu wenig Interesse, sein Wohnhaus am Hochstadenring für die Nachwelt zu sichern.
Das Problem: im Atelier unterm Dach hatten #FranzMarc und #AugustMacke gemeinsam (!) al fresco ein Paradies geschaffen.
Urodziny Augusta Macke! 3 stycznia 1887 przyszedł na świat jeden z czołowych twórców niemieckiego ekspresjonizmu. Krótkie życie, wielka sztuka. #AugustMacke

The drawing depicts several figures in a wooded or park-like setting. In the foreground, a man in a suit and bowler hat stands prominently, while another man and a woman in a white dress are to his right, looking down. A fourth figure, a woman in a hat, is partially obscured in the background. The style is characterized by dynamic, angular lines and a strong use of light and shadow, typical of the Expressionist movement.
