Description: Stuttgart: Hatje Cantz, 2011. 30cm., hardcover, 400pp., 417 illus., 208 in color. German text. Exhibition held at Museum der bildenden Künste, Leipzig. Summary: In his portrait paintings, Max Beckmann (1884–1950) reflects on a very personal web of relationships—to his family, his wives, and his large circle of friends and acquaintances. This publication features approximately 150 expressive paintings and works on paper, assembling a Who’s Who of people in Beckmann’s life. the artist also assigned roles in his allegorical world theater to his family and friends, and so this book also presents pictures in which the Beckmann integrated his “collection of portraits.” Furthermore, a biographical lexicon put together by Felix Billeter and Christiane Zeiller lists around 240 people whose paths crossed Beckmann’s at various stages. Mayen Beckmann, the artist’s granddaughter, provided substantial assistance to the authors in their task.
