"Interior with Three Figures in a Cafe," Erma Bossi, c. 1910.
Bossi (1875-1952) was Italian-born but her style was German Expressionism, with some influence, I think, from the Nabis.
There's not much biographical info about her, other than how she learned art in Munich, fled to Paris at the outbreak of WWI, and then returned to Milan but continued to exhibit with the avant-garde artists in Paris. She was one of the few women to participate in the Venice Biennales in 1930 and 1935.
I like how the figures communicate through posture, given that they have no faces, and the patches of color and pattern remind me very much of Vuillard, whose work is so dear to me.
From the Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus, Munich.
