Max Beckmann (1884-1950), known for his self-portraits whose intensity was rivaled only by those of Rembrandt and Picasso, was a German artist, usually classified as Expressionist, although he always rejected this label. At the end of the 1910s, years that mark the beginning of his successful career, he made Liebespaar I (Lovers) (the first of a series of two). In these years, he stayed in touch with the Fauves, from whom he acquired his signature violent palette of colors and Expressionist deformation of bodies. He intended to depict the social myths of the modern world, and drew inspiration from Joyce and Dos Passos. From the 1920s, he associated himself with the New Objectivity movement (Neue Sachlichkeit), which developed from Expressionism, and opposed its introverted emotionalism.
The German artist enjoyed a great success and official honors during the Weimar Republic. Suddenly his fortunes changed with the rise to power of the dictator Adolf Hitler. In 1933, Beckmann was accused of "cultural Bolshevism" by the Nazi-government and dismissed him from his teaching position at the Art School in Frankfurt. In 1937, more than five hundred of his works were confiscated from German museums, putting several on display in the notorious Degenerate Art exhibition in Munich in 1937. The day after Hitler's radio speech about degenerate art Beckmann left Germany for The Netherlands.

Max Beckmann
Max Beckmann was one of the most influential artists of the 20th century - both as a painter and as an outstanding graphic artist. Printmaking was the main medium he worked in between 1914 and 1924, creating a total of 156 drypoints, 72 lithographs and 16 woodcuts. From wikipedia: Max Carl Friedrich Beckmann (February 12, 1884 – December 27, 1950) was a German painter, draftsman, printmaker, sculptor, and writer. Although he is classified as an Expressionist artist, he rejected both the term and the movement.[1] In the 1920s, he was associated with the New Objectivity (Neue Sachlichkeit), an outgrowth of Expressionism that opposed its introverted emotionalism. Even when dealing with light subject matter like circus performers, Beckmann often had an undercurrent of moodiness or unease in his works. By the 1930s, his work became more explicit in its horrifying imagery and distorted forms with combination of brutal realism and social criticism, coinciding with the rise of nazism in Germany.

PABLO PICASSO (1881-1973) Spanish painter and sculptor is one of the most recognized figures of twentieth century art. During his artistic career, which lasted more than 75 years, he created thousands of works using all kinds of mediums. He changed art more profoundly than any other artist of his time. First famous for pioneering cubism, Picasso continued to develop his art with a pace and vitality comparable to the accelerated technological and cultural changes of the twentieth century. Each change embodied a radical idea, and might be said that Picasso lived several artistic lifetimes. ABOUT SELLER DO YOU HAVE ARTWORK TO SELL?
