Max Beckmann was a versatile German artist known for his work in painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, and writing. He rejected the label of Expressionist and instead was associated with the New Objectivity movement in the 1920s. This movement opposed the emotionalism of Expressionism. Despite portraying seemingly lighthearted subjects such as circus performers, Beckmann often conveyed a sense of unease in his works. In the 1930s, his art took on a more explicit and critical tone, featuring disturbing imagery and distorted forms that mirrored the harsh reality of the era.
