Über das Werk
This drawing, dated 1914, was executed on the eve of World War I. Pechstein had recently parted ways with Die Brücke (The Bridge, 1905-13), one of Germany’s most influential associations of avant-garde artists, being dismissed after choosing to exhibit at the Berlin Secession. He had become interested in Oceanic art and began drawing sculptures at the Völkerkundemuseum in Berlin, before travleing with his wife to the Palau islands in the South Pacific, a German colony at the time. With the outbreak of the World War I in 1914, they returned home and he enlisted in the German army. A number of black chalk figure drawings by Pechstein date to this turbulant year.

Im Leben von Max Pechstein
Das ganze Leben1912
Break with the Brücke
After years of rising tension, Pechstein shows some of his work at the Berlin Secession on its own, without paintings by other Brücke members, and leaves the group; other accounts say he was expelled. His conservative style appealed to a wider audience, and recognition and awards far outpacing those of his peers bred animosity in the group.
1913–1914 · Wirkungsort
German New Guinea
1914
Journey to the Palau Islands
His painting was growing more primitivist, with thick black lines and angular figures. Looking for inspiration, and in imitation of Gauguin, he travels to the Palau Islands in Micronesia.
1914
Interned in Japan
With the outbreak of the First World War Pechstein is interned in Japan; he returns to Germany by way of Shanghai, Manila and New York.
1915–1916
Service on the Western Front
He takes part in the fighting of the First World War on the Western Front; other accounts say he was sent to the front in 1916.
