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.
September 1926
Publicly professes his faith
In September 1926, in the Yom Kippur edition of the Jüdisch-Liberale Zeitung, Liebermann publicly confessed to the faith to which he increasingly found his way back in old age. He also supported the Jewish children's home “Ahawah” and the Aid Association of German Jews.
1927
80th birthday: an exhibition and honours
Among those who congratulated Liebermann were Albert Einstein, Heinrich and Thomas Mann and Hugo von Hofmannsthal, and Berlin staged an exhibition of more than a hundred of his paintings; Interior Minister Walter von Keudell presented him with the Golden State Medal inscribed “For services to the state”.
