Max Beckmann and Berlin

Berlinische Galerie

NOW CLOSED

As the Berlinische Galerie marks its fortieth anniversary, the exhibition “Max Beckmann and Berlin” will focus for the first time attention on the decisive role the city played in the artist’s work. The art historian Julius Meier-Graefe, a contemporary of Beckmann’s, succinctly summed up the relationship between the artist and the city in 1924: “Max Beckmann is the new Berlin.”
