Max Beckmann | The Night

Who Arted: Weekly Art History for All Ages - Un pódcast de Kyle Wood

Max Beckmann was a German painter born on February 12, 1884. While he is often associated with the expressionist movement, he actually rejected that label. He was a part of the New Objectivity movement which shared some similarities with expressionists, but while the expressionists sought to portray their inner self for the world to see, the new objectivity movement was outward looking holding a mirror up to the world expressing the state of society as the artist saw it. In his painting The Night from 1918-1919, Beckmann shows the horrors of war and the devastation at home.
