Max Beckmann. El palco
       
 
 
 
From the second half of the 19th century onwards, the agitated life of the metropolis was seen as the ultimate paradigm of the modern age. The city is presented here as the great spectacle of modern times through Beckmann's modern allegories, Foujita, Koch and Domingo's depictions of urban situations, and George Grosz's critique of the hysteria of Berlin society.
