Story

A performer balances high above an audience in a lively circus setting, the scene built from strong yellows, greens, blues, and reds. The composition captures motion and spectacle through bold color contrasts. This oil painting was created in 1913 by August Macke, a German artist who lived from 1887 to 1914. His work is associated with Expressionism.
