Max Beckmann (1884–1950), the outstanding Expressionist painter,
is regarded as one of the most important artists of the twentieth
century. His works, jostling with figures and full of colour, are
packed with highly symbolic messages. They are critical of the
times in which he lived and bear witness to Beckmann’s struggle
with existential questions and his constant search for truth. Max
Beckmann is one of the most fascinating painters of the modern age,
who more than almost any other reflected the social upheavals of
his time, not only in his numerous works but also and not least
through his extensive correspondence and diaries. He was an
observer, a gentleman, a loner and a reflective witness of his age.
Perpetually searching for truth, he was a self-critical witness of
the times in which he lived. It is especially in his expressive
self-portraits that we believe we can get closer to Beckmann’s
multi-faceted nature and hence become better able to understand the
wide range of metaphors in his multi-faceted oeuvre. This volume by
one of the most illustrious Beckmann specialists, Dr. Christiane
Zeiller, traces his artistic career and the principal stations of
his life, from the years in Berlin and Frankfurt via his exile in
Amsterdam und America. The unique Max Beckmann Archives, with its
wide-ranging legacy, are currently housed in the Bayerische
Staatsgemaldesammlungen in Munich. Material which has not
previously been published will be shown in the publication,
including private photos and objects from amongst the artist’s
personal possessions.
