About Lumberjack in the forest
Max Liebermann was a leading German Impressionist painter who depicted everyday life and labor. He became president of the Prussian Academy of Arts but was forced to resign when the Nazis came to power in 1933.
Liebermann worked in an Impressionist style influenced by French painters and the Barbizon school. He used visible brushstrokes and natural light to capture working people in rural and urban settings with dignity and directness.
Like the French Realists, Liebermann believed ordinary working people deserved artistic attention. His paintings of laborers, servants, and craftspeople challenged academic traditions that favored historical and mythological subjects over contemporary life.
