Max Beckmann (18841950), 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 Beckmanns struggle with existential questions and his constant search for truth. Beckmann was an observer, a gentleman, a loner, and a reflective witness of his age. It is especially in his expressive self-portraits that we believe we can get closer to Beckmanns multi-faceted nature and hence become better able to understand the wide range of metaphors in his multi-faceted oeuvre. Max Beckmann" traces his artistic career and the principal stations of his life, from his years in Berlin and Frankfurt to his exile in Amsterdam and America. His works will be shown, including private photos and objects from amongst the artists personal possessions."
