Max Beckmann, dream of life (Book) by Cornelia Homburg, Reinhard Spieler, Max Beckmann, Tilman Osterwold. Like New, In English. Hatje Cantz, 2006. Hardcover. 176 pages. Color and black and white illustrations.
This panoramic presentation of Max Beckmann’s painted oeuvre sheds new light on central themes such as the world of cabaret, music and theater, dreams and reality, staged sensuality and the role of the female muse, as well as on the artist’s unusual ways of using romanticizing visual motifs in landscapes and urban contexts.
Beckmann’s oeuvre, widely recognized as some of the most important German art of the 20th century, contains a multitude of existential historical convictions and questions. This representative selection of some sixty figurative paintings produced between 1917 and the artist’s death in 1950 reveals the entire panorama of his career, from violent works reflecting the shock of war to pieces from his last years in New York, from the cubism and expressionism of his youth to the symbolism of his advanced age.
