Max Beckmann: Self-Portrait with Horn

By Jill Lloyd

Self-Portrait with Horn is one of the greatest, most resonant paintings by the German Expressionist Max Beckmann. It was painted in 1938, just after Beckmann fled Nazi Germany to seek refuge in Amsterdam, and it evokes the tribulations of an entire generation. This book celebrates the painting and the special place it holds for the Neue Galerie. Jill Lloyd has brought her superb scholarship to bear in tracing the work's history and its importance within the Beckmann oeuvre.
