Max Liebermann was a pioneer of Modernism in Germany, with a style that shifted from Naturalism to Impressionism over the course of his lifetime. In the era that spanned the German Empire and the Weimar Republic, Liebermann, born in Berlin as the son of a wealthy Jewish textile manufacturer, became not only one of the most influential figures in Berlin’s art scene, but founded the Berlin Secession movement, and established himself as a collector who played an important part in establishing Impressionism as a major phenomenon in 20th-century art.
