Max Liebermann From Realism to Impressionism

Max Liebermann (1847-1935), the leading artist in Germany from the early 1890s until the Nazi takeover in 1933, was known later in his career for his singular approach to Impressionism. Initially a realist painter, his work at times moved into the more abstract realm of ""pure painting,"" which earned him the moniker, ""Manet of the Germans."" This first English-language publication on Liebermann looks beyond the factual details of his life and work to explore the virtuosity of his art and the personal attributes on which it oftentimes was based. Essays by German and American scholars provide creative new ways of understanding and interpreting Max Liebermann and the times in which he lived.Gilbert, Barbara C. is the author of 'Max Liebermann From Realism to Impressionism', published 2005 under ISBN 9780970429568 and ISBN 0970429568.
