Carnival Mask - Max Beckmann iPhone Case

Max Beckmann (1884–1950) was a German painter, printmaker, and draftsman whose uncompromising vision redefined modern figurative art. Defying the constraints of Expressionism, he fused brutal realism with mythic grandeur, distilling the chaos of the 20th century into psychologically charged compositions.

His signature triptychs—monumental, fragmented narratives steeped in allegory—stand as some of the most profound meditations on war, exile, and the existential crisis of modernity.

Dismissed by the Nazi regime as "degenerate art," Beckmann fled Germany, first to Amsterdam and later to the United States, where his enigmatic self-portraits, brooding cityscapes, and haunting cabaret scenes profoundly influenced American modernism. His work, saturated with shadowed intensity and symbolic distortion, reflects the fractured psyche of a world in upheaval.

Beckmann’s bold, gestural brushwork, dynamic compositions, and penetrating psychological depth continue to shape the language of contemporary painting. Through his labyrinthine imagery—where circus performers, exiles, and masked figures inhabit dreamlike, claustrophobic spaces—Beckmann transformed the personal into the universal, offering a harrowing, timeless reflection on power, fate, and the human condition.
