On view through 19 August, 2007
This exhibition offers the first extensive retrospective of the work produced by Max Beckmann in his years in Amsterdam. Max Beckmann (1884-1950) was one of the leading and most distinguished German artists of the 20th century. After the Nazis had labelled his paintings 'entartete Kunst' (degenerate art), in 1937 Beckmann moved to Amsterdam, where he lived and worked until 1947.
The Van Gogh Museum shows masterpieces from this Amsterdam period, including the four impressive triptychs Carnival, Acrobats, The Actors and Perseus. His paintings bear witness to his interest in the world of cabaret, Dutch landscape and life in Amsterdam. Through his diary, letters, photographs and an impression of his studio, the visitor to the exhibition is given an insight to the life Beckmann lived in Amsterdam.
