Art Expert explains 'Drahtseilbahn in Baden-Baden' by Max Beckmann - Ketterer Kunst

Описание: The world coming apart - an extreme composition in dramatic times.
• Fateful year 1937: Immediately after the work was made at the peak of his political defamation, Max Beckmann left Germany.
• Cataclysmic depiction of a troubled mind: A toppled horizon and a downhill ride with an inward look.
• Started in Germany as one of his last paintings, exhibited in Switzerland as early as 1938 and completed in the USA in 1949 - departure and new beginning in one composition.
• From a picture of fate to a picture of hope: with the landscape in background worked over in 1949, the artist created a positive prospect.
