Max Beckmann mixed the real and the imaginary in his latest print cycle, Day and Dream, in which he filtered autobiographical elements from his exile in the Netherlands, biblical and mythological stories and scenes of sexual conflict through his vision of the world as a circus or theatre. Unconscious lovers dance while the figure War slumbers and threatens to awaken at any moment. Demagogues get up. Children refuse to eat their soup. Beckmann came here again to subjects he had explored during his career, suggesting that nothing changes and everything comes back.
Max Beckmann (Leipzig, Saxony, Germany, 12 February 1884 - New York, United States 27 December 1950) was a German expressionist painter. In 1900 he began his painting training in Weimar. Four years later he settled in Berlin. He moved from Berlin to Frankfurt, where he became a special teacher at the Municipal Academy.
Beckmann is situated between the expressionism of Die Brücke and the anecdotism of the new professionalism or "Neue Sachlichkeit".
