• A document of the joy of life: Max Ackermann's work brims over with vibrant colors and dynamic forms.
• Ackermann brings Schiller's poem “An die Freude” (To Joy) to life with brush and paint – just as Beethoven did with his symphony, which premiered in 1824.
• The artist is one of the great advocates and pioneers of abstract German painting, to which he has fully devoted himself since the 1950s.
• Other works by Max Ackermann are in the Folkwang Museum, Essen, the Städel Museum, Frankfurt am Main, and the Pinakothek der Moderne, Bavarian State Painting Collections, Munich.
