Max becomes Beckmann: It began in Brunswick
At the center of this major special exhibition are Max Beckmann鈥檚 formative early years as an artist. International works on loan and key works from his artistic activity give visitors the opportunity to explore his development to become one of the leading artistic figures of the 20th century.
Beckmann was born in Leipzig in 1884 and spent his early years, from the age of 11 to 16 in Brunswick where he created his earliest artistic works, ranging from the fairy-tale like watercolor 鈥淒er Diamantberg鈥� (the diamond mountain) to the sophisticated oil sketch 鈥淟andschaft mit See鈥� (landscape with a lake) which he painted in preparation for his art studies in Weimar.
Alongside early, still largely unknown drawings, watercolors and sketches, the exhibition also includes large-scale key works by this truly global artist, such as 鈥淛unge M盲nner am Meer鈥� (young men by the sea) from 1905 and 鈥淪intflut鈥� (the Great Deluge) from 1908.
