On the conflicting drives of wanderlust and exile in the art of the great German Expressionist

For German painter Max Beckmann (1884-1950), travel was of fundamental existential significance. In the 1920s, he regularly traveled to the health resorts and palatial hotels on the Dutch, Italian and French coasts. His defamation as a degenerate artist by the Nazi regime, however, forced him to retreat, first from Frankfurt to Berlin and subsequently into exile in Amsterdam. His eventual emigration to the United States in 1947 marked the culmination of a life in which the longing to travel was confusingly--and yet fruitfully--mingled with uprooting, dislocation and exile.
