In 1937, many of Beckmann's paintings were confiscated from the Berlin State Museum for exhibition in the Third Reich's "Degenerate Art" show, and the artist left Germany, seeking refuge in Holland. In Amsterdam, Beckmann painted many of his great triptychs, such as The Actors, which is also on display at the Busch. The cramped conditions under which Beckmann was forced to work at this time may be one reason why he used the three-panelled, triptych form; he was then able to create monumental paintings piecemeal. His triptychs have been compared to post-Christian altarpieces and three-act dramas.
Beckmann's Actors triptych is yet another self-portrait; the artist depicts himself in the central panel as a king, thrusting a dagger into his breast. The complex and very personal symbolism of the artist is rendered in a magnified color composition. The London critic Timothy Hyman recently commented that "what I admire above all in Beckmann is his sheer courage, in daring to follow his psyche into the dark on such a scale, to produce works of such monumentality, yet whose meaning is so unknown. It is an astonishing achievement, and it results in almost the only truly visionary art of our time." He further commented that he recognizes Beckmann's imagery "as looking very much like the inside of my own mind, awake and asleep." The German Expressionist scholar Peter Selz called Beckmann's 1927 self-portrait "one of the greatest self-portraits in the history of art."
Max Beckmann and his wife Quappi emigrated to the United States in 1947. He held faculty positions at Washington University, St. Louis, and at the Brooklyn Museum Art School, and won first prize at the Carnegie International Exhibition. He died in New York in 1950, never having returned to Germany.
During World War I, while in the medical corps, Beckmann commented, "I may still be alive at present, stronger than ever, although I have already experienced great horror and have often been close to death. But the more often one dies, the more intensely one lives. I have drawn - this is what keeps one from death and danger."
