摘      要：Despite the many recent inquiries into the art of Max Beckmann, much in his work—particularly the highly personalized symbolism—remains intriguingly elusive. The nine triptychs1which individually and as a group may be regarded as his major philosophic and artistic statements, have received much critical attention.2But there is one notable exception, theCarnivaltriptych executed in Amsterdam in 1943 and now owned by the State University of Iowa. This work3deserves to be better known. In fact, by comparing it with some of his earlier work and with other triptychs, not only does it provide a better understanding of Beckmann s personal iconography, but it offers us an insight into his symbolism and his style.
