Lot Essay

Malepartus was the name of a nightclub in Frankfurt, which borrowed its name from the fox’s residence in Goethe’s epic poem ‘Reineke Fuchs’. It is the juxtaposition of images of violence and misery with those of glamour and decadence, which gives Beckmann’s depictions of the inter-war years their bite.
