Max Beckmann - Exile in Amsterdam

Max Beckmann (1884-1950) is among the most important artists of the 20th century. The visionary power, magnificent colouring and mysterious symbolism of his paintings have made Beckmann one of the outstanding figures of Modern Art. His ten years in exile in the Netherlands were one of the most creative periods of his life in which he produced around a third of his entire works

With an intensity comparable only to that of Picasso, Beckmann’s works fascinate and move us through their magical appeal and invite us to enter into an intensive dialogue. Beckmann expressed the mystery of life in all its ambivalence. His demanding and versatile themes correspond to a broad spectrum of techniques and formats. During his time in Amsterdam Beckmann created not only five triptychs, numerous large-format compositions of figures but also intimate landscape pictures, portraits and nude representations. As well as this, he produced graphic prints on the subject of the »Apocalypse«, drawings dedicated to Goethe’s »Faust II«, mysterious watercolours and small drawings on envelopes.
