About the piece
Created in 1913, 'Milliner's Shop' is a signature work by German Expressionist August Macke. The painting captures a fleeting moment of urban life, using bold, saturated blocks of color to depict a woman gazing at a rhythmic arrangement of hats. Macke's use of light and simplified form creates a dynamic, modern atmosphere that remains visually striking today.
