To mark the occasion of Max Liebermanns 175th birthday, the outstanding collection of his drawings in the Berliner Kupferstichkabinett of Berlins state museums is being presented for the first time. Liebermanns development as an artist in general and as a draftsman in particular is brought very much to life by the works, most of which were collected during the artists lifetime in the "Collection of Drawings" at the Nationalgalerie. The full spectrum of his draftsmanship is revealed, from the rarely shown first sketchbook from the 1860s to preparatory studies for paintings, Dutch landscapes, and portraits of prominent contemporaries, as well as striking self-portraits. The fact that drawing played a key role for Max Liebermann is made clear in this catalogue - the first to be published on the Kupferstichkabinetts holdings. - A highlight in Max Liebermanns anniversary year
