Landscape with Balloon, By Beckmann
Meeresstrand, By Beckmann
Moon Landscape, By Beckmann
"My aim is always to get hold of the magic of reality and to transfer this reality into painting - to make the invisible visible through reality. It may sound paradoxical, but it is, in fact, reality which forms the mystery of our existence.
What helps me most in this task is the penetration of space. Height, width and depth are the three phenomena which I must transfer into one plane to form the abstract surface of the picture, and thus to protect myself from the infinity of space." --On My Painting, Max Beckmann
