MAX BECKMANN (Leipzig 1884 - 1950 New York)

Small Dancing Couple. Woodcut, on slightly pink 'imitated' Japan paper. 1923. Signed lower right, in pencil: "Beckmann". Hofmaier 267 B. b. 17,7: 10,1 cm. Size of sheet: 32,5:25 cm.

Proof impression for the de luxe edition of the monograph "Max Beckmann" by Curt Glaser, Julius Meier-Graefe, Wilhelm Fraenger, and Wilhelm Hausenstein, published by R. Piper & Co., Munich 1924, in an edition of 180 copies and printed by Dr. C. Wolf & Sohn, Munich.
On this print the distance from the outline of the subject to the sheet edges is roughly equal on all sides, which is an indication that the present impression was not printed for general sale. It rather seems from a special edition, which was intended to be gifts to the collaborators of this monograph.
