MATTHIAS BECKMANN, from Berlin, Germany became known for his extensive series of drawings of selected places and institutions. He has drawn, for example, in the German Bundestag, in the surgery, radiology and pathology departments of the Charité hospital in Berlin, in the Mercedes factory near Stuttgart, in a refugee centre and in numerous museums. Matthias Beckmann works without preparatory sketches, without photographic aids and without corrections. The theme of his drawings is the artist’s view of things and situations.
