Book Synopsis



Dive into the evocative world of The Blue Hour, by author Jill Conner, where art, memory, and the passage of time intertwine through the lens of Max Beckmann's poignant reflections.

The Blue Hour invites readers into a uniquely contemplative space that begins in an empty, blue-walled living room, echoing the stillness of Max Beckmann's "Large Still-Life with Doves" (1950). The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of Beckmann's Life, establishing the parallel between his personal journeys with his written recollections of significant historical moments. As the story develops, it highlights the duality of the artist's experiences during his daily strolls, revealing how each moment connects to his past.

The setting oscillates between early-modernized Berlin and the industrial dynamism of early 20th-century New York, allowing readers to explore the evolving landscape of art and memory. Through a detailed examination of Beckmann's paintings and early drawings, Jill Conner offers a rich tapestry of themes and prompts reflection on the interweaving of personal and collective histories.

This book is invaluable for art enthusiasts, historians, and general readers alike who seek a deeper understanding of Max Beckmann. The Blue Hour not only illuminates Beckmann's artistic journey but also serves as a meditation on the nature of memory and the passage of time. This book promises to enrich your appreciation of modern art and its profound connections to personal experience.
