Description
The work "Children and sunny trees" by August Macke, painted in 1913, is a brilliant example of the use of color and the form that characterizes the German expressionist movement. This painting It encapsulates the essence of the children's world through its vibrant palette and its cheerful and organic composition. Macke, one of the most prominent members of the expressionist group known as the "Pablo Picasso Alemán", achieves in this work to create an atmosphere of light and freedom that resonates with the innocence and joy of children.
Visually, the painting It presents a series of children's figures in a garden illuminated by a radiant sun. Children, stylized and simplified, seem immersed in games, transmitting a sense of movement and joy. Their clothing, which stand out in bright red, yellow and blue tones, contrast wonderfully with the lush green of the surrounding vegetation. This bold color use is a distinctive characteristic of Macke, who knew that colors should not only reflect reality, but also evoke emotions.
The composition is organized around three prominent trees that frame the scene. Its wide and lush drinks are mixed almost abstract with the background, creating a connection effect between heaven and earth. This natural fusion not only gives the work an almost dreamlike quality, but also encapsulates the idea of an childhood in communion with nature. The trees, which could be interpreted as refuge and growth symbols, become the guardians of this playful interaction between children and their surroundings.
Macke, influenced by his contemporaries and his trips to places like Tunisia, developed a sense of color that went beyond realistic representation, opting for a more emotional and symbolic approach. In "Sunny Children and Trees," it is not just a daily scene, but about a tribute to childhood and child freedom, captured with a technique that resonates with the vibrant spirit of expressionism. The author displays his ability to combine figurative representation with the use of abstract spaces and fluid forms, which gives the work of a special dynamic.

This particular work, "children and sunny trees," Macke's approach stands out on the themes of joy, innocence and fresh perception of the world through a child's eyes. In a broader sense, expressionism sought to give voice to emotional and subjective experiences, and this painting aligns perfectly with that narrative, showing a moment of pure and carefree happiness.
In conclusion, "sunny children and trees" is not only a visual representation of childhood, but also becomes a deep memory of simplicity and the joy of being a child, a work that continues to resonate in the spectator and invites The constant contemplation of the beauty of life in its most essential form.
