Max Neumann

Zusatztext

The catalogue "Max Neumann. Journey" comprises around eighty paintings and works on paper from all periods of work by the painter and graphic artist Max Neumann (b. 1949) who is an important representative of German figuration. His enigmatic human figures seated in enraptured pictorial settings are not geared towards capturing a subjective, distinct portrayal, but towards the crystallization of an unmistakable manlike allegory. His characters, in their at once disconcerting and graceful silhouettes, fall out of time and history being markers of a human state of mind. Neumann does not intend to narrate any incidents; he rather traces emotional human qualities confronting the viewer with his own desires, fears, obsessions and phantasms.
