Max Ackermann (1887 Berlin – 1975 Bad Liebenzell-Unterlengenhardt) Female Figure in a Garden A poetic work from around 1932, characterized by a two-dimensional composition and reminiscent of works by Paul Klee and Oskar Schlemmer, from the middle period of the artist’s career; he is considered one of the most important figures in German abstraction. Ackermann studied at the Stuttgart Academy under Adolf Hölzel from 1912 to 1913, where he also met Willi Baumeister. In 1926, he met Piet Mondrian, and in 1928, he exhibited alongside Wassily Kandinsky. After being ostracized as a “degenerate” artist during the Nazi regime, Ackermann settled on Lake Constance in 1936, where he became part of a circle of Expressionist artists.
