Max Beckmann: Self-Portrait in Words: Collected Writings and Statements, 1903-1950 by Beckmann, Max. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780226041353.

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 Beckmanns 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 Beckmanns 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 Beckmanns voluminous private and public writings."—Andrea Barnet, New York Times Book Review
