At The Table - Abstract by August Macke

"At the Garden Table" is a vibrant and lively painting created by August Macke in 1914, just before the outbreak of World War I. The painting reflects Macke's interest in colour, form, and the depiction of everyday life.

The scene depicts a garden table set with various objects, and it captures the essence of a leisurely moment in an outdoor setting. Macke was known for his use of bold and harmonious colours, and this painting is no exception. The colour palette is rich and vivid, with vibrant greens, blues, reds, and yellows dominating the composition.

The figures in the painting are stylized and exhibit a certain sense of flatness, which is characteristic of Macke's style influenced by Fauvism and Cubism. The artist often used simplified forms to convey the emotional and expressive qualities of his subjects.

The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of joy and relaxation, typical of Macke's interest in capturing the spirit of modern life. Unfortunately, the optimism reflected in this painting contrasts sharply with the tragic events that unfolded shortly after its creation due to the outbreak of World War I, during which Macke tragically lost his life in 1914.
