Max Beckmann self-portrait.

Max Beckmann (February 12, 1884 – December 27, 1950) was a German painter, draftsman, printmaker, sculptor, and writer.

Although he is classified as an Expressionist artist, he rejected both the term and the movement.

In the 1920s, he was associated with the New Objectivity (Neue Sachlichkeit), an outgrowth of Expressionism that opposed its introverted emotionalism.

Quotes:

"Height, width, and depth are the three phenomena which I must transfer into one plane to form the abstract surface of the picture, and thus to protect myself from the infinity of space."

And:

"Space, and space again, is the infinite deity which surrounds us and in which we are ourselves contained."
