Insightful; wonderful artist with true introspection to art and his process2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Beckmanns theory of paintingBy Winston houghIf you are a fan of Beckmann this a must read.Beckmann goes counter to todays direction;with its empahsis on formal qualities: minimalism. He stresses content and that means subject matter.Beckmanns formal attributes come out of traditional German art.He tells you why ;he paints.He didnt have a difficult art life: his work in Germany found early acceptance.His work as an ambulance driver in WW1 scarred his vision of the world. After a period of recovery from mental problems due to the war. He led a stable life. He came to the U.S after the Nazis were seeking him in the Netherlands. He taught at the Brooklyn Museum school and Washington University in St. Louis Mo.He tried to compete with Picasso. He kept a keen eye on Pablos work.Max still enjoys a big reputation.He never lost his visual German accent!
