Max Beckmann Quote
The laws of art are eternal and don't change at all, as the moral laws don't change in human beings.
To Franz Marc who demanded in 'Der Blaue Reiter' (c. 1912) a new modern art, in relation to its own - changing - time
As quoted in the exhibition 'Expressionisten, die Avantgarde in Deutschland 1905 -1920', catalog Nationalgalerie Berlin, DDR, 1986, p. 109
