Meanwhile, in the life of Max Liebermann
The whole life1920s
Defends Otto Dix's “Trench”
Liebermann supported Dix's emotional depiction of the horror of the world war, which was accused of being tendentious, calling it one of the most important works of the post-war period. At the same time, despite his basically tolerant views, he polemicized against Ludwig Justi, who brought Expressionists to the National Gallery.
