这本图文并茂、内容全面的书籍聚焦于马克斯·贝克曼（Max Beckmann）职业生涯中具有决定性的十年，他是二十世纪最重要的具象画家之一。本书将深入剖析这位艺术家发展过程中的关键时期，以及为他赢得高度赞誉的成就。

 

贝克曼在第一次世界大战期间短暂但极其震撼的担任医疗护理员的经历，导致他精神崩溃。他吸收了自己的这些经历，并融合了当时艺术界的最新且激进的发展，如立体主义和表现主义，从而自1915年开始推动新的绘画观念的形成。

 

对于他的许多同时代人来说，贝克曼在1917年至1925年间创作的作品使他成为了具象绘画最新发展的领军人物。1925年，贝克曼在曼海姆举办的开创性“新客观主义”（Neue Sachlichkeit）展览中的显著地位，确认了他的受欢迎程度，尽管他后来与这一术语保持了距离。

 

本书将从艺术和历史的角度对贝克曼进行定位。由资深专家和新兴学者撰写的文章，探讨了他1915年至1925年间创作的作品中所蕴含的开创性活力——这一时期是贝克曼一生中不断回顾的重要阶段。贝克曼作品中的自我指涉特性是理解他作为艺术家发展历程的关键，通过对这些关键早期年份的分析，这一点变得更加清晰。

 

This generously illustrated and comprehensive book focuses on a decisive decade in Max Beckmann’s career as one of the leading figurative painters of the twentieth century. This publication will provide insight into a critical period in the artist’s development and the accomplishments that earned him such high esteem.

Max Beckmann's brief but profoundly jarring service as a medical orderly during World War I led to a nervous breakdown. He assimilated his experiences and incorporated recent and radical developments in art, such as Cubism and Expressionism, leading him to advance new pictorial conceptions beginning in 1915.

 

To many of his contemporaries, the work Beckmann created between 1917 and 1925 placed him at the forefront of the latest developments in representational painting. In 1925, Beckmann’s celebrated status was confirmed by his prominence in the groundbreaking “Neue Sachlichkeit” (New Objectivity) exhibition in Mannheim, although he later distanced himself from the term.

 

This book will situate Beckmann artistically and historically. Essays by both established experts and emerging scholars investigate the seminal energy found in the work he created between 1915 to 1925—a period to which the artist himself repeatedly returned over the course of his lifetime. The self- referential aspect of Beckmann’s output is key to understanding his progression as an artist, which comes more clearly into focus via an analysis of these critical early years.
