Max Liebermann The Art Collection. From Rembrandt to Manet Max Liebermann (1847 1935) was not only one of the most important painters of his time, but also one of the foremost collectors of older and, in particular, contemporary art of the turn of the nineteenth to the twentieth century. This volume constitutes an extensive commentary and a richly illustrated handbook as well as a catalogue of an art collection, as unique as it was renowned, that was destroyed during the Nazi period."
