Description

This book on Max Beckmann, unlike previous studies, does not focus on his biography or analyze his often difficult subject matter. Instead, Belting considers Beckmann and his achievement with the context of art history, as indeed the artist saw himself reflected throughout his productive life. And rather than focus on Beckmann as an outsider, he shows that Beckmann's idealistic aesthetics, his notions about creativity and myth, and his belief in the transcendent self were all part of the cultural climate in Germany.
