From the publisher

One of the most important German artists of the twentieth century, Max Beckmann is known for the depth and sensuous force of his works, but little is known about his personal life. Self-Portrait in Words reveals Beckmann's experience of life from the first years of his career in Berlin and Paris through his final years in the United States. This collection of Beckmann's writings serves as a companion to his art and a testament to the complexities of his life.

"Barbara Copeland Buenger . . . has done an excellent job of editing and annotating Beckmann's voluminous private and public writings."--Andrea Barnet, New York Times Book Review

First line

BECKMANN wrote this first extant diary mostly in pencil in a small notebook measuring 10.2 cm X 15.6 cm and drew three sketches in the volume.
