Goethe, Faust, BeckmannBeckmann. With his powerfully expressive illustrations for Goethe's Faust II, Max Beckmann created one of the most important bodies of work in the history of German art of the twentieth century during his exile in Amsterdam. Executed between April 1943 and February 1944, under the influence of his "bomb worries," the virtuoso pen-and-ink drawings reveal themselves to be an allegorical mirror of our society. |
