DECIPHERING BECKMANN By Charlie Finch In 1937, Max Beckmann shipped the first of his monumental triptychs, Departure, to his New York dealer Curt Valentin. Valentin asked Beckmann to write an essay explaining the piece. Beckmann replied, "Remove this painting or return it to me, my dear Valentin. If people cannot understand it themselves with the help of their own inner world, it makes no sense to show the thing. . . . It can speak only to those who carry within them, consciously or unconsciously, a metaphysical code close to mine." more     RECENT SALE Featured Lot Max Beckmann, Self-Portrait with Horn Sotheby's New York Sold for $22,555,750 Artnet Top Ten Auction records for Expressionist painting.
