Composition with Four Figures

"Composition with Four Figures" by Max Weber exemplifies his early experimentation with Cubism, featuring fragmented, geometric forms that challenge traditional representation. The artwork uses a subdued palette, with figures rendered in Paper and Charcoal, evoking a sense of immediacy. The composition hints at a Nude painting (nu) influence, focusing on human form and spatial ambiguity. Weber’s interest in figurative Chalk techniques is evident, and the painting reflects his transition from abstract experimentation to more personalized, Jewish-themed imagery.
