Max Beckmann February 12, — December 27, was a German painter, draftsman, printmaker, sculptor, and writer. Although he Art & Max classified as an Expressionist artist, he rejected both the term and the movement. In the s, he was associated with the New Objectivity Neue Sachlichkeitan outgrowth of Expressionism that opposed its introverted emotionalism. Max Beckmann was born into a middle-class family in Leipzig, Saxony. From his youth he pitted himself against the old masters. His traumatic experiences of World War Art & Max, in which he volunteered Art & Max a medical orderly, coincided with a dramatic transformation of his style from academically correct depictions to a distortion of both Art & Max and space, reflecting his altered vision of himself and humanity. He is known for the self-portraits painted throughout his life, their number and intensity rivaled only by those of Rembrandt and Picasso. Well-read in philosophy and literature, Beckmann also contemplated mysticism and theosophy in search of the "Self". As a true painter-thinker, he strove to find the hidden spiritual dimension in his subjects Beckmann's Letters to a Woman Painter provides a statement of his approach to art. Beckmann enjoyed great success and official honors during the Weimar Republic. His fortunes changed with the rise to power of Adolf Hitlerwhose dislike of Modern Art quickly led to its suppression by the state. Inthe Nazi government called Beckmann a "cultural Bolshevik" and dismissed him from his teaching position at the Art School Art & Max Frankfurt. In the government confiscated more than of his works from German Art & Max, putting several on display in the notorious Degenerate Art exhibition in Munich. The day after Hitler's radio speech about degenerate art inBeckmann left Germany with his second wife, Quappi, for The Netherlands. For ten years, Beckmann lived in self-imposed exile in Amsterdam, failing in his desperate attempts to obtain a visa for the United States. In the Germans attempted to draft him into the army, although the sixty-year-old artist had suffered a heart attack. The works completed in his Amsterdam studio were even more powerful and intense than the ones of his master years in Frankfurt. They included several large triptychs, which stand as a summation of Beckmann's art. After the war, Beckmann moved to the United States. During the last three years of his life, he taught at the art schools of Washington University in St. He came to St. Louis at the invitation Art & Max Perry T. Rathbone, who was director of the Saint Louis Art Museum. Rathbone arranged for Washington University in St. Louis to hire Beckmann as an art teacher, filling a vacancy left by Philip Gustonwho had taken a leave. In St. Louis, Morton D. May became his patron and, already an avid amateur photographer and painter, a student of the artist. May later donated much of his large collection of Beckmann's works to the St. Louis Art Museum. Beckmann also helped him learn to appreciate Oceanian and African art. Wikipedia article References Wikipedia article. Wikipedia: en. Max Beckmann Artworks.

Max Weber April 18, — October 4, was a Jewish-American Art & Max and one of the first American Cubist painters who, in later life, turned to more figurative Jewish themes in his art. He is best known today for Chinese Restaurantin the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art, "the finest canvas of his Cubist phase," in the words of art historian Avis Berman. Art & Max was a fortunate early influence on Weber as he was an "enlightened and vital teacher" in a time of conservative art instruction, a man Art & Max was interested in new approaches to creating art. Dow had met Paul Gauguin in Pont-Aven, was a devoted student of Japanese art, and defended the advanced modernist painting and sculpture Art & Max saw at the in New York in His friends among fellow Americans included some equally adventurous young painters, such as Abraham Walkowitz, H. Lyman Art & Max, and Bruce. Avant-garde France in the years immediately before World War I was fertile and Art & Max territory for Weber, then in his Art & Max twenties. He was responsible for Rousseau's first exhibition in the United States. In he returned to New York and helped to introduce to America. He is now considered one of the most significant early American Cubists, but the reception Art & Max work received in New York at the time was profoundly discouraging. Critical response to his paintings in a show at the gallery, run by Alfred Stieglitzwas an occasion for "one of the most merciless critical whippings that any artist has received in America. For a few years, Weber enjoyed a productive if rocky relationship with Stieglitz, and he published two essays in Stieglitz's journal Camera Work. He also wrote Cubist poems and published a book, Essays on Art, in So poor was Weber in these years that he camped out for some weeks in Stieglitz's gallery. Weber was also closely acquainted with Wilhelmina Weber Furlong and Thomas Furlong, whom he met at the Art Students Leaguewhere he taught from to and to Weber died in Great Neck, New York in He was the subject of a major retrospective at the Jewish Museum in Wikipedia article References Wikipedia article.
