About this artwork
The painter Max Beckmann is probably one of the most important artists of his time. This portrait is an attempt to approximate his personality. The template for this picture is one of the many well-known photos in which the artist stages himself as in the series of his famous self-portraits, where he figures in different roles. This portrait tries to look a little behind the “facade” of this self-presentation. Mauritius works this psychological study…
out of a paste-like application of paint. This creates vital, relief-like expressive structures on the surface of the canvas. The focus is on lively contact with the sitter.

With faces as his central theme, he composes figurative portraits marked by interesting combinations of form and colour.
