This is a work called "Ballet Russes 1" by German painter August Macke (1887-1914) . It depicts the splendid world of the Russian ballet company with vivid colors and a soft touch.

This work speaks to his genius with color and captures the energy of the stage with his unique sensibility. It is a work that captures the moment when art and dance intersect, and is perfect for sophisticated interiors and art collections.
August Macke was born on January 3, 1887 in Meschede, Germany. He was active in the early 20th century and is known as a member of the Expressionist movement "Der Blaue Reiter". Macke was influenced by Surrealism and the Bauhaus, and was particularly impressed by the work of Wassily Kandinsky and Fernand Léger.
His early works were influenced by the Impressionists and Cézanne, and he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Düsseldorf from 1904. He then stayed in Paris in 1907, and moved to Berlin to study at the studio of Lovis Corinth. In 1910 he met Franz Marc, and the following year he stayed in Sindelsdorf, where Marc lived. He also met Paul Klee and Robert Delaunay from 1911 to 1912, and was influenced by them.
In 1914, he traveled to Tunisia with Paul Klee, during which time he produced several dozen watercolors that are considered his masterpieces. However, World War I broke out in August of that year, and Macke was sent to war. He was killed in action on the front lines in Champagne on September 26 of that year, ending his life at the young age of 27.
August Macke was a key figure in the 20th century art scene through his unique style and social message, and his work continues to inspire many people today.
