Abstract (en)

Examines several iconographic themes in Beckmann's work, seen first in his portfolio of prints titled Jahrmarkt (1921), and later in other prints and paintings, 1920s-1930s: the annual fair (and carousel) as metaphor for life in a crisis-ridden world, animal satire, and the world upside-down. Draws parallels with related imagery in art and literature, including the paintings of Hieronymous Bosch and the poetry of Shelley.
