Max Beckmann said regarding his art "I am seeking for the bridge which leans from the visible to the invisible through reality." and "I believe that the reason why I love painting so much is that it forces one to be objective. There is nothing I hate more than sentimentality." He also said "Painting is a very difficult thing. It absorbs the whole man, body and soul, thus have I passed blindly many things which belong to real and political life." Few German painters had as long and distinguished a career as Max Beckmann, and fewer still who have been able to sustain the consistent level of excellence he maintained throughout his career. A painter's painter, he eschewed identification with a particular school or style. His oeuvre is a celebration of painting's grand traditions - the still life, the portrait, history painting, and allegorical and mythological subjects - articulated in a visual style that has often been described as Expressionist. But while his frenetic brushwork and highly complex, metaphysical iconography have much in common with German Expressionism, Beckmann's paintings never succumbed to the Modernist tendency to render the world abstractly.
