Max Beckmann, 1884–1950: The Path to Myth
The book is dedicated to the life and work of the German artist Max Beckmann, who joined the art movement “New objectivity” in the 1920s, which arose as a protest against the immersion of expressionists in personal experiences. This monograph features more than 180 images of works from 1907 to 1950, including many of Beckmann’s famous self-portraits and triptychs (such as Temptation of 1936/1937). Biographical essays cover his war years, the twenties in Frankfurt, his exile years in Amsterdam, and his emigration to the United States.
