昼と夢；魔法の鏡
1946
Max Beckmann created this haunting scene in 1946 while living in exile in the United States, fleeing the trauma of Nazi Germany. A slender, bride-like figure stands elegantly on a table, completely ignoring the dark, cramped faces and hands clawing out from the shadows beneath her. The massive, tilted mirror suggests a search for truth, but in Beckmann's Expressionist world, the reflection is often more terrifying than reality itself. This piece is part of his 'Day and Dream' portfolio, where he explored the thin line between our waking lives and our subconscious nightmares.
