Although Max Liebermann (1847-1935) began his career as a realist
painter depicting scenes of rural labor, Dutch village life, and
the countryside, by the turn of the century, his paintings had
evolved into colorful images of bourgeois life and leisure that
critics associated with French impressionism. During a time of
increasing German nationalism, his paintings and cultural politics
sparked numerous aesthetic and political controversies. His eminent
career and his reputation intersected with the dramatic and violent
events of modern German history from the Empire to the Third Reich.
The Nazis' persecution of modern and Jewish artists led to the
obliteration of Liebermann from the narratives of modern art, but
this volume contributes to the recent wave of scholarly literature
that works to recover his role and his oeuvre from an international
perspective.
