Max Carl Friedrich 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.

His traumatic experiences of World War I, in which he volunteered as a medical orderly, coincided with a dramatic transformation of his s ...
