"Come on, now buy a Beckmann too!"

This book focuses on a single painting from several points of view. Painted by Max Beckmann in 1944, the 'Portrait of the Lütjens Family' became part of the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen collection in 2009. Alongside personal recollections and documents, the book contains the results of the art-historical research into the background to the work and the technical research into the materials used.
