Max Beckmann
1884 Leipzig - 1950 New York
Kleines Selbstbildnis. 1913.
Drypoint.
Hofmaier 62 II B a (of b). Signed and dated "12". One of ca. 50 copies. On laid paper by JW Zanders (with watermark). 15,4 x 11,8 cm (6 x 4,6 in). Sheet: 44 x 36 cm (17,3 x 14,1 in).
Released by I.B.Neumann, Berlin. Very rare. There were only 3 comparable sheets on the international auction market during the last 20 years (source: Gordon's).
PROVENANCE: Private collection South Germany (acquired from Stuttgarter Kunstkabinett 1961, auction 36, lot 537).
After working exclusively with lithography, Max Beckmann did not address the medium of etching until 1912. In his small 1913 self-portrait, the doubts and depressive moods that assailed the artist at thirty have been rendered with consummate skill in emphatic line and hatching. Accentuation by means of a strong contrast between dark and light areas adds up to a distinctive portrait of the artist. [EH]
In good condition. Few tiny brown stains in places. Right margin with one tiny split.
EUR: 18.000 - 24.000DIFF.(19%)
US$: 24.552 - 32.736
