Else Neuländer Simon, also known as Yva :: Painter Max Liebermann, Berlin, ca. 1928 | via kvetchlandia
Max Liebermann was a renowned Jewish painter, printmaker and long-time President of the Prussian Academy of Arts until he was forced from his position by the Nazis. While watching the Nazis stage their victory march through the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin following their assumption of state power in 1933, Liebermann said to a friend “Ich kann gar nicht soviel fressen, wie ich kotzen möchte” (I could not possibly eat as much as I would like to throw up).
