Pastel on green paper by Max Ackermann from 1972.
This work is signed and dated in pencil at the bottom right.
The pastel is registered in the Ackermann Archive.
Max Ackermann (Berlin 1887–1975 Bad Liebenzell), a German painter and printmaker, was the most important representative of abstract, ‘absolute’ art in Germany and known as the ‘painter of the colour blue’. While his works were classified as ‘degenerate’ by the National Socialist dictatorship, he gained particular relevance after the war. His works were presented in solo and group exhibitions throughout Germany. Ackermann was one of the first members of the Deutscher Künstlerbund and participated in their exhibitions.
Typical of his work is the vertically oriented composition, which he saw as being analogous to music. Ackermann was of the opinion that only abstract art – like music – could grasp the essence of visible nature. In his visual language, he used the geometric forms of musical instruments and combined these to create surrealistic compositions. He later added further symbols, such as scales for the resting position, mirrors for the tension between real and visionary space, and towers for ascent.

Max Ackermann
Max Ackermann was a seminal German abstract artist whose career spanned several key movements in 20th-century art. Known for his vibrant and dynamic compositions, Ackermann made significant contributions to the fields of prints and posters, blending elements of abstract expressionism with a distinct graphic sensibility. Born in Berlin in 1887, Ackermann showed an early interest in the arts. He studied at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Weimar under Henry van de Velde, a key figure in the Art Nouveau movement, and continued his education at the Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart, where he was influenced by Adolf Hölzel, a pioneer of abstract art. Ackermann's formative years were marked by exposure to various avant-garde movements, which shaped his later works in both painting and printmaking. His prints and posters are held in the collections of institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York, and the Städel Museum, Frankfurt.

Bram (Abraham Gerardus) van Velde was a Dutch painter known for an intensely colored and geometric semi-representational painting style related to Tachisme*, and Lyrical Abstraction*. He is often seen as member of the School of Paris* but his work resides somewhere between expressionism* and surrealism*, and evolved in the 1960s into an expressive abstract art.
