Journey
The catalogue "Max Neumann. Journey" comprises around eighty paintings and works on paper from all periods of work by the painter and graphic artist Max Neumann (b. 1949) who is an important representative of German figuration. His enigmatic human figures seated in enraptured pictorial settings are not geared towards capturing a subjective, distinct portrayal, but towards the crystallization of an unmistakable manlike allegory. His characters, in their at once disconcerting and graceful silhouettes, fall out of time and history being markers of a human state of mind. Neumann does not intend to narrate any incidents; he rather traces emotional human qualities confronting the viewer with his own desires, fears, obsessions and phantasms.

Some Heads
A beautifully produced volume featuring the work of a major German artist. While a face may be considered a head, a head does not necessarily carry a face. Between 2015 and 2017, German painter Max Neuman drew a series of heads. Each head is a moment, each facing the viewer as if looking into a crowd, each distinguishable from the other. Who are they? May we call them portraits? Do they look back? Do they resemble spirits? Some Heads reproduces these haunting drawings along with an essay by cultural theorist and curator Hubertus von Amelunxen that questions the heads and faces while dwelling upon the effacement of individuality.

Max Neumann
The painter Max Neumann examines the symbolism of the human being in an incomparable way, with strangely distant figures that are both graceful, calm and dangerous and enigmatic.Herwig Guratzsch writes, 'we encounter another Neumann, who has outgrown the artist who abandoned himself to the mysteries of the night and its untameable eeriness. Most of the works do not feature night as the dominant element, yet the spookiness it generates is still rampant. The methods of taming the 'dark fever' are grotesque and surreal, and caricature is applied in a delightful manner as an artistic statement to be taken seriously.'Published on the occasion of the exhibition Max Neumann: New Works, 15 November 2011 - 10 January 2012, at LEVY Hamburg, Germany.English and German text.
