"Max Beckmann (1884-1950) is widely acknowledged as one of Germany's leading painters of the twentieth century. His work has affinities with Expressionism and, in the 1920, with Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity)." "This collaboration, an association between the Pompidou Centre, Tate Modern and The Museum of Modern Art, marks the first occasion since the 1960s that Paris, London and New York have hosted comprehensive surveys dedicated to Beckmann's work. This book, shared between Tate Modern and The Museum of Modern Art, is the first comprehensive English-language catalogue on the artist published since Beckmann's centenary retrospective in 1984. It contains new research by German, American and British scholars, using documentary material published over the past decade. There are, too, several distinctive essays by practicing artists, for whom Beckmann's contribution to art has special significance."--Jacket.

Work Description

"This panoramic presentation of Max Beckmann's painted oeuvre sheds new light on central themes such as the world of cabaret, music, and the theater, dreams and reality, staged sensuality, and the role of the female muse, as well as the artist's unusual ways of employing romanticizing visual motifs in landscapes and urban contexts."--BOOK JACKET
