Max Liebermann
Max Liebermann (1847-1935) was a prominent German painter and a leading figure in the German Impressionist movement. Born into a wealthy Jewish family in Berlin, he gained acclaim for his depictions of everyday life, particularly focusing on the working class and leisure scenes in nature. He was known for his vibrant use of color and light, drawing inspiration from the French Impressionists. Liebermann served as the president of the Berlin Academy of Arts and was a key cultural politician, helping to shape the art scene in Germany during the early 20th century. His works reflect a transition from realistic portrayals to more expressive representations of leisure activities and nature, culminating in his later focus on garden paintings. Despite his success, Liebermann's legacy was overshadowed by the rise of the Nazis, leading to his retreat from public life and a tragic end for his family.
