		Indeed, Beckmann uses the battle of the sexes to stage the struggle for survival which he endured--a struggle complicated by the fact that it is the survival of independent art as well as spirited life that was at stake during the Hitler period.
		I am suggesting that Beckmann's triptychs-- and the accompanying works, which seem like details from or studies for them, although they are independent if clearly related works, in terms of both their figure types and irrational space--are complicated personal statements, fraught with all kinds of emotional issues.
		Beckmann's paradoxicality--his use of the carnival masquerade, with its odd air of mania, to convey the sinister character of Nazi society--seems facile.

		Beckmann is back at MOMA after almost forty years, and this time it took a team of curators to tame him: Robert Storr of NYU and formerly of MOMA, Sean Rainbird of Tare Modern, and Didier Ottinger of the Centre Pompidou.

		The St. Louis art museum, which goes by the acronym "SLAM," was the only U.S. venue of a major Max Beckmann show this year, exploring the birth of modern art by comparing the paintings of the German to those of French contemporaries like Henri Matisse.
		PAUL SOLMAN: Beckmann fled to Holland, safe in part because his son was a surgeon in the Luftwaffe.
		And if Max Beckmann hasn't attained the stature of his French rivals, well, maybe it's because they're more important, or maybe because his nervy, odd imagery is just a bit harder to appreciate.

	Beckmann, Max : 1884 - 1950 - German Expressionism, painting, German Expressionsim, painting, printmaking, ...
		Beckmann was not especially progressive until shortly before World War I, although he had resigned from the Secession in 1911.
		Beckmann responded to the violence and cruelty of World War I by painting dramas of torture and brutality - symptomatic of the lawlessness of the time and prophetic of the state-sponsored genocide of the 1930s.
		Beckmann's paintings and prints of the middle 1920s have been identified by some critics with the Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity) style, a hard, socially conscious realism then practiced by George Grosz, Otto Dix, and other artists who painted the spectacle of economic disaster and human depravity that was widespread in postwar Germany.

	Beckmann
		One of the most powerful painters and printmakers of German Expressionism, Beckmann's artistic life was shaped by the horrors he witnessed as a soldier in the First World War.
		Though he was born into a merchant family, his later work suggests that he felt that feelings did not come easily to those who had too much.
		After the Nazis took power, Beckmann was fired from his professorship at the State Art University (Städelesches Kunstinstitut) in Frankfurt, having been singled out as a "cultural bolshevik." In 1937 he left Germany and went to the Netherlands, spending the war years in Amsterdam.

		The most well known German expressionists are Max Beckmann, Otto Dix, Lionel Feininger, George Grosz, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, August Macke, Emil Nolde, Max Pechstein; the Austrian Oskar Kokoschka, the Czech Alfred Kubin and the Norvegian Edvard Munch are also related to this movement.
		During his stay in Germany, the Russian Kandinsky was also an expressionism addict.
