Rudolf Großmann
Max Beckmann in Company, um 1922
About the object
Großmann dealt intensively with the artist Max Beckmann. Like a building block, his countenance is recognisable in various scenes and groups of figures – both in his printmaking and in his drawings. The sheet Max Beckmann in Gesellschaft (Max Beckmann in Society) (c. 1922) places him at the centre of the action. The other figures are clustered around him, drawing attention to him and lending him a sense of importance and power.
