Portrait of J. B. Neumann 1919

Max Beckmann's 1919 "Portrait of J. B. Neumann" is a stark and expressive woodcut. It is a portrait of a man with prominent features, rendered in a bold, graphic style. The sitter's gaze is directed towards the viewer, giving the artwork an intense and introspective quality. This print exemplifies Beckmann's signature use of bold lines and deep blacks, typical of his artistic style, known as Expressionism. The "Portrait of J. B. Neumann" is currently located at the Städel Museum.
