Max Beckmann
Max BeckmannAbstract art is a form of art that hardly have any need to abstract things, for each object is unreal enough already, so unreal that one can only make it real by means of painting.
Abstract art is allowable of any object, in principle, so long as it has a sufficiently strong creative power behind it.
Abstract art is the the transference of the phenomena of height, width, and depth onto one plane in order to protect the artist from the infinity of space.
Color is the strange and magnificent expression of the inscrutable spectrum of eternity.
Max Beckmann is an artist who is seeking for the bridge which leans from the visible to the invisible through reality in order to show in his work the idea which hides itself behind so-called reality.
Space is the infinite deity which surrounds us and in which we are ourselves contained.
The Visible is such that if one wants to get hold of the invisible one must penetrate as deeply as possible into the visible.
