The hell of birds, indeed...
The images are hellish!
I wonder what point he was trying to make...
I'm not familiar with this painter...
Thank you for posting this...

The Last Judgment.
Beckman remained in Europe during the Second World War. At one time he was the most famous painter in Germany, but when Hitler came to power his works were classified as "degenerate" and confiscated.
The Hell of Birds was painted in 1938, a year after it became more or less illegal for him to display his works.

I am familiar with Bosch's work...
And I can see how this fits here...
Artists must do their work, no matter how "illegal" it's thought to be...
It takes courage!
Thanks for your explanation...
My education continues!
