He would spend the last three years of his life far away from Europe, years that signified a liberating, intense new start for him. The vastness of the foreign continent, its coasts, the atmosphere of its “wild” landscapes, and its big cities all formed a palpable source of inspiration for Beckmann, who had never before had this type of physical experience of space.\u003c?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" \/\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial\"\u003eWorking with incredible energy and productivity, Beckmann produced numerous major works in these few short years. From today’s perspective, Beckmann’s independence is all the more impressive when seen in relation to the development of abstract art that was taking place in America at the same time. Beckmann retained his link to representationalism and its metaphorical themes, yet still managed to assert himself as a European painter of international status. \u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e(German edition \u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=3\u003eISBN 978-3-7757-2986-4)\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=3\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=3\u003e\u003cO:P\u003e\u003c\/O:P\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\u003cO:P\u003e\u003c\/O:P\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003cO:P\u003e\u003c\/O:P\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003eExhibition schedule: Städel Museum, Frankfurt am Main, October 7, 2011–November 8, 2012\u003cO:P\u003e\u003c\/O:P\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: TheSans\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=3\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: TheSans\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=3\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003eIn conjunction with this exhibition a catalogue \u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e(German edition \u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=3\u003eISBN 978-3-7757-2984-0; \u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003eEnglish edition \u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=3\u003eISBN 978-3-7757-2985-7)\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49811874349320,"sku":"9783775729871","price":16.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775729871_e8ccd6d4-fbda-442f-8a6d-35e2314d962d.jpg?v=1744045012","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/16757-art-to-hear-beckmann-america","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
