Synopsis
Max Beckmann's brief but profoundly jarring service as a medical orderly during World War I led to a nervous breakdown. He assimilated his experiences and incorporated recent and radical developments in art, such as Cubism and Expressionism, leading him to advance new pictorial conceptions beginning in 1915. To many of his contemporaries, the work Beckmann created between 1917 and 1925 placed him at the forefront of the latest developments in representational painting. In 1925, Beckmann’s celebrated status was confirmed by his prominence in the groundbreaking “Neue Sachlichkeit” (New Objectivity) exhibition in Mannheim, although he later distanced himself from the term. This book will situate Beckmann artistically and historically. Essays by both established experts and emerging scholars investigate the seminal energy found in the work he created between 1915 to 1925―a period to which the artist himself repeatedly returned over the course of his lifetime. The self referential aspect of Beckmann’s output is key to understanding his progression as an artist, which comes more clearly into focus via an analysis of these critical early years.

Gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Dieses großzügig illustrierte und umfassende Buch konzentriert sich auf ein entscheidendes Jahrzehnt in Max Beckmanns Karriere als einer der führenden figurativen Maler des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts. Die Publikation gibt einen Einblick in eine entscheidende Periode in der Entwicklung des Künstlers und in die Leistungen, die ihm ein so hohes Ansehen einbrachten. Der erschütternde und kurze Dienst als Sanitäter im Ersten Weltkrieg führte bei Max Beckmann zu einem Nervenzusammenbruch. Er verarbeitete seine Erfahrungen und verarbeitete die jüngsten und radikalen Entwicklungen in der Kunst, wie den Kubismus und den Expressionismus, was ihn ab 1915 zu neuen Bildkonzepten führte. Für viele seiner Zeitgenossen stand Beckmann mit seinem Werk, das er zwischen 1917 und 1925 schuf, an der Spitze der neuesten Entwicklungen in der gegenständlichen Malerei. 1925 wurde Beckmanns gefeierter Status durch seine Beteiligung an der bahnbrechenden Ausstellung »Neue Sachlichkeit« in Mannheim bestätigt, obwohl er sich später von diesem Begriff distanzierte. Der vorliegende Katalog ordnet Beckmann künstlerisch und historisch ein. Essays von etablierten Experten und Nachwuchswissenschaftlern untersuchen die bahnbrechende Energie seines Werks, das zwischen 1915 und 1925 entstand - eine Zeit, zu der der Künstler selbst im Laufe seines Lebens immer wieder zurückkehrte. Der selbstreferentielle Aspekt von Beckmanns Schaffen ist der Schlüssel zum Verständnis seiner künstlerischen Entwicklung, die durch die Analyse dieser kritischen frühen Jahre noch deutlicher hervortritt.
