Beckmann's words are best., February 18, 2010
This review is from: Max Beckmann in Exile (Hardcover)
The best thing about this book is the inclusion of 3 items in Beckmann's
own words. Though not exactly direct, he is eager to share his viewpoints.
But at least his almost-obscurity is interesting and colorful. In the major part of the book the authors are overly verbose, while trying to make
Beckmann's work important. It doesn't need help in that sense, as it is
already important. Beckmann did not work in a creative haze of being unsure of
what he was doing. He is very educated, and adept at expressing himself.
The book is beautifully illustrated, and feels good in the hands. If you
just don't take the authors too seriously, it is a lovely book to own.
