Ein sachkundig kommentierter Überblick über das gesamtezeichnerische Werk des großen deutschen Renaissancekünstlers Matthias Grünewald.

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 1920s, with Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity). However, he remains an isolated figure in early twentieth-century European art. Many of his most extraordinary masterpieces, including most of his triptychs, were created while living in exile in Amsterdam between 1937 and 1947. Although he remained a figurative painter throughout his career, his engagement with modernism and his ability to adapt and innovate in his work resulted in a highly personal vision and style.
The book contains new research by German, American and British scholars, using documentary material published over the past decade.There are, too, several distinctive essays by practising artists, for whom Beckmann' s contribution to art has had special significance.

After a phase in which his art dealt mainly with biblical, historical and allegorical subjects, Beckmann painted pictures showing humanity 'in extremis', both physical and spiritual. This book analyzes the thematic complexes in Beckmann's visual world and traces the myths of the man and the art.

Beckmann es uno de los artistas alemanes más importantes del siglo XX, conocido por la profundidad y la fuerza sensual de sus obras. Este libro ofrece una visión completa de su vida revelada a través de sus escritos, redactados en momentos muy específicos de su actividad profesional, a la vez que demuestra la importancia que tuvo para él la escritura como una forma de expresión que complementaba su arte.
