"..The exhibition explores for the first time the multiple, often conflicting roles of femininity and masculinity in his art. The around 140 paintings, sculptures and works on paper on display make it possible to experience the breadth and social relevance of the subject of gender and enable a deeper understanding of Beckmann's multifaceted, sensual art. His self-depictions and double portraits, the portraits of men and women of his time as well as mythological and biblical figural paintings make it possible to experience the basic constants of human togetherness in an impressive way: desire, devotion, courtship, rejection, dependency, conflict, the urge for freedom and merging."--WorldCat, translated.
