Beckmann
Drawings
Around eighty works from all Max Beckmann’s creative phases reveal him as an idiosyncratic interpreter of the world. Drawing was existential for him as an artist: with pencil, chalk, pen and pastel he collected motifs, searched for new formal solutions and pictorial inventions, developed multi-layered compositions and shaped his worldview. In the cosmos of his drawings we get to know Beckmann anew.
description
The publication presents fascinating insights into Beckmann’s world along with findings from the catalogue raisonné of his drawings. Rarely seen sheets and famous works from the Städel Museum’s important holdings and international collections take the reader on a journey through Beckmann’s life, and reveal his highly original artistic development, from his early period in Berlin to his final years as an
émigré. A fiercely independent individual, Beckmann continued to draw throughout his life and under all circumstances.
