To the left and right are a sculpture of a female head and an arrangement of orchids. Max Beckmann used candles as traditional symbols of the fleeting nature of life; here, he places them within a modern composition of interlocking shapes, reflecting the influence of Picasso. The work is inscribed “St L” at top left, indicating that it was painted in Saint Louis, shortly after Beckmann’s arrival in 1947.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMax Carl Friedrich Beckmann (February 12, 1884 – December 27, 1950) was a German painter, draftsman, printmaker, sculptor, and writer. Although he is classified as an Expressionist artist, he rejected both the term and the movement. In the 1920s, he was associated with the New Objectivity (Neue Sachlichkeit), an outgrowth of Expressionism that opposed its introverted emotionalism. Even when dealing with light subject matter like circus performers, Beckmann often had an undercurrent of moodiness or unease in his works. By the 1930s, his work became more explicit in its horrifying imagery and distorted forms with combination of brutal realism and social criticism, coinciding with the rise of nazism in Germany\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eAvailable as a fine art print a\u003c\/span\u003end as a stretched canvas panel (heavy fine art canvas stretched over 1.5 inch deep edge solid wood frame)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"highest quality canvas panels\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/3209\/files\/button_0_medium.png?v=1470176597\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"deep edge canvas prints\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/3209\/files\/canvas_sizes_mixed_large.jpg?v=1470176597\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll prints are made using archival art stocks and UV pigment inks to give up to 200 years life.
