Max Neumann (*1949), a renowned German painter and draftsman, is a significant figure in the realm of German figuration. His enigmatic human figures, situated in mesmerizing pictorial environments, aim not to depict individual, subjective portrayals, but rather to embody a unique, symbolic human allegory. His characters, with their simultaneously unsettling and elegant silhouettes, transcend time and history, serving as representations of the human psyche.

Neumann's work is not centered around storytelling; instead, he explores the emotional aspects of humanity, confronting the viewer with their own desires, fears, obsessions, and fantasies. The formal composition of his paintings holds great significance, as it maintains a harmonious balance among all visual elements. His artistic language features crisp graphic and somewhat calligraphic qualities, layering dimensions of reality and invoking an ornamental play of shadows.
