Spotorno, Blick aus dem Fenster, Max Beckmann

During this period, Beckmann was enjoying the height of his recognition as a teacher in art education. This almost childlike sketch shows an optimistic and innocent view of his personal situation. A playful and carefree essay of a seascape, from a balcony on the coast of Spotorno, Italy.
A few years later, Beckmann would be considered a "Cultural Bolshevik" by the Nazi government and would lose all recognition in his country.

Also known by its english name: Spotorno, View from the Window.
