Max Liebermann by Nicola Perscheid, 1908
In 1898 he founded the Berlin Secession, a collective for artists who worked in modern styles, in opposition to the conservative policies of the Prussian Art Association. Liebermann served as president for 13 years.
In 1910 Max Liebermann built a summer house on Lake Wannsee. Over the years, he made 200 paintings of its gardens. The Nazis took the house from his widow in 1936, but since 2006 Villa Liebermann has been open as a museum of Liebermann's art.

"A few years ago The El Paso Herald-Post held a dinner in his honor. He politely warned them that he wouldn't attend, and didn't. The plaque now hangs in the office of his lawyer."
