2008年8月，《纽约时报》艺评人肯·约翰逊曾写道："马克斯·贝克曼的《持号角的自画像》堪称新画廊最珍贵的馆藏之一......"

这幅画作以粗砺笔触与强烈明暗对比绘就：艺术家身披黑橙条纹晨袍，香肠般的手指握着一支银制猎号。他侧首凝神，仿佛刚吹响号音正待回应，又似在聆听战争猎犬的逼近。1938年，贝克曼与妻子逃离纳粹德国避难阿姆斯特丹之际创作了这幅自画像，作品折射出整个一代人的苦难历程。

本书致敬这幅在新画廊拥有特殊地位的画作。艺术史学家吉尔·劳埃德以精湛学术造诣，追溯作品源流及其在贝克曼艺术创作中的重要地位。

这本由丹麦权威设计专家执笔的专著，配有超过两百张精美图片及设计手稿与数字草图。在展现雅各布·伯格启发性创作全貌的同时，本书本身亦堪称丹麦设计的典范——一场不容错过的独特美学体验。

In August of 2008, The New York Times' Ken Johnson wrote, "Max Beckmann's 'Self-Portrait with Horn' is one of the finest treasures of the Neue Galerie...

Painted in brusque, brushy strokes in high-contrast darks and lights, it depicts the artist in a black-and-orange striped dressing gown holding up a silver hunter's horn in one sausage-fingered hand. He looks sideways with an intent expression as though he had sounded a note and was awaiting an answering response. Or he may be listening for the hounds of war." Beckmann painted "Self-Portrait with Horn" in 1938, just after he and his wife fled Nazi Germany to seek refuge in Amsterdam, and it evokes the tribulations of an entire generation. 

This volume celebrates this painting and the special place it holds for the Neue Galerie. Art historian Jill Lloyd brings her superb scholarship to bear in tracing the work's history and its importance within the Beckmann oeuvre.
