COLLECTIONSAn impression of this work is in the permanent collection of the British Museum. PANThe Pan art association was established in Berlin, Germany in the spring of 1894 for the purpose of publishing Pan, a richly illustrated international magazine, which featured contemporary art, literature and poetry. Pan was the first German journal to commission original works of art. During the magazine’s brief five year history (1895-1900) it published numerous etchings, lithographs and woodcuts by the world's leading graphic artists. The editions of approximately 1100 per issue, used fine papers and were produced to the highest printmaking standards. ABOUT THE ARTISTA pioneering painter of common life, Max Liebermann (1847-1935) is considered the foremost German impressionist and one of the most important figures of modern art. Liebermann’s early devotion to painting the everyday is exemplified by his first exhibited painting Women Plucking Geese (1872), which earned him the moniker the “disciple of the ugly” due to its stark contrast to the romanticized work that was popular in Germany at the time. Liebermann studied modern painting technique in France and the Netherlands, encountering both French impressionism and the work of The Hague School. These influences led to a departure from traditional modes and genres and inspired Liebermann to experiment with light and color, further detaching his art from concrete subject matter. The artist brought the concepts and techniques of impressionism to Germany, and his paintings and graphic works on a wide range of subjects occupy a lasting place in art history.
