About this title

Synopsis

A specifically German artistic revolution

In six chapters - The Brücke Group of Artists, Northern German Expressionism, The Blaue Reiter, Rhenish Expressionism, The City and Expressionism in Vienna - this publication deals with a specifically German artistic revolution, a phenomenon that has quite accurately been described as "the most significant German contribution to 20th century European art".

Beside a number of famous names - Beckmann, Heckel, Kandinsky, Kirchner, Kokoschka, Macke, Marc, Mueller, Nolde, Schiele and Schmidt-Rottluff - the author also introduces several lesser-known artists, such as Campendonk, Felixmüller, Meidner, Morgner, Münter and von Werefkin, with some representative works.
