Un grand dessin de Beckmann pour Stuttgart
The Staatsgalerie Stuttgart has acquired a monumental drawing by Max Beckmann titled *Resurrection*, measuring nearly five meters long and three and a half meters high. Executed between 1916 and 1918, it is the largest painting by the artist and a key work in his oeuvre, created after his traumatic experience as a volunteer medical orderly in World War I. Beckmann described the piece as expressing 'the terrifying cry of pain of deceived poor humanity,' marking a shift toward a new formal vocabulary influenced by the war.
