Max Liebermann ( 847– 935)—a co-founder of the Berlin Secession and President of the Akademie der Kunste for many years—was one of the most important artists of his generation. In addition to his impressive painting oeuvre, Liebermann's graphic prints also assume an important role: over motifs as etchings, lithographs, and woodcuts are found today in museum and private collections around the world. This catalogue provides an introduction to Liebermann's graphic prints based on selected works from the collection of the Max Liebermann Society Berlin. It also presents common printmaking techniques and provides a detailed examination of the development of the graphic prints by the most signifi cant representative of Impressionism. The focus is thus on the history of the collecting and exhibiting of his print graphic works as well as the research on these works.
