In Front of the Hat Shop - August Macke

In the early 1910s, shortly before his untimely death on the battlefield, August Macke painted a myriad of works paying tribute to the beauty of everyday life. Four of these are devoted to a seemingly innocuous subject: the hat shop. The present painting shows a woman and a little girl who are unaware of the artist's presence, so absorbed are they in contemplating a shop window.
