Max Beckmann's "Abfahrt" (Departure) is a renowned triptych painted between 1932 and 1935. This work is one of Beckmann's most significant pieces, reflecting his response to the political and social upheavals of his time, particularly the rise of Nazism in Germany. The triptych format, traditionally used for religious altarpieces, is employed by Beckmann to convey a complex narrative filled with symbolism and allegory.

The central panel of "Departure" depicts a serene scene of a king, queen, and child in a boat, symbolizing hope and liberation. The figures are calm and composed, suggesting a sense of escape or transcendence from the surrounding chaos. This contrasts sharply with the side panels, which are filled with scenes of violence, oppression, and suffering. The left panel shows figures in a state of torment, possibly representing the brutality and despair of contemporary society. The right panel continues this theme with images of entrapment and struggle.

Beckmann's use of bold colors and distorted forms enhances the emotional intensity of the work. The figures are rendered in a style that combines elements of Expressionism and New Objectivity, reflecting Beckmann's unique artistic vision. The triptych's composition invites viewers to interpret the narrative in multiple ways, with the central panel offering a glimmer of hope amidst the surrounding turmoil.

"Departure" is often seen as a reflection of Beckmann's personal experiences and his reaction to the political climate of the 1930s. Forced to leave Germany due to the Nazi regime's condemnation of his work as "degenerate art," Beckmann's painting captures the tension between despair and hope, oppression and freedom. Today, "Departure" is housed in the Museum of Modern Art in New York, where it continues to be celebrated for its powerful commentary on the human condition and its masterful execution.
