As in the present work, Max Neumanss's figures appear as shadowy beings. They stand still and anonymous in the room, physically present and yet inwardly distant - as if they were merely shells of a hidden existence. Their silent distance reveals a silent, intermediate world in which closeness becomes a sense of foreboding and the person opposite remains unclear.
