Neumann's uncanny figures stray from the subjective to form a universal human allegory

This monograph comprises nearly 80 paintings and works on paper by Max Neumann (born 1949), an important figure in contemporary German figuration. His enigmatic human figures, at once disconcerting and graceful, serve as symbolic markers of a human state of mind.
