A group of acrobats in exotic costumes against a magnificent landscape backdrop of hills and trees. This can be seen in more detail and with a high platform for the acrobats in the woodcut “Acrobats I” (Krüger H 135). Max Pechstein created three woodcuts of this acrobatic performance. Variety, dance, theater, circus, these moving arts were an inexhaustible source of inspiration for the “Brücke” artists.
