Max Beckmann : Departure Hardback
Edited by Oliver Kase
Hardback
Description
Travel is a fundamental experience of human existence.
For Max Beckmann it was of existential importance both in a symbolic, but also in a deeply personal sense.
In the 1920s, he regularly traveled to the noble health resorts and palace hotels on the Dutch, Italian, and French coasts.
His defamation as a "degenerate" artist by the Nazi regime, however, forced him to retreat, first from Frankfurt to Berlin and subsequently into exile in Amsterdam.
His emigration to the United States marked the culmination of a life entwined with the longing to travel as well as uprooting, transit and exile.
Max Beckmann. DEPARTURE assembles an outstanding selection of artworks and initiates a dialogue with hitherto unseen objects and materials from the Max Beckmann Archive.
It shows Beckmann’s relationship to film and literature as a producer of images of aspirations and longing resonating with notions of identity and home.
