Quarto. Hardcover. Bright red cloth with bluish pictorial color dustjacket. 240 pp. 145 illustrations in color. German-born Bluemner was an important member of the circle that formed around Alfred Stieglitz's 291 Gallery in the early 20th century. This full-scale, scholarly study of his work, along with the major retrospective it accompanies, examines his evolution from budding architect to modernist innovator. Haskell illuminates his entire oeuvre, including the vivid, richly symbolic landscapes that established Bluemner as a leading artist of his day. Included is an essay by conservator Ulrich Birkmaier on Bluemner's innovative painting techniques, a selection of the artist's writings, and an array of beautiful illustrations.

The catalogue, by Whitney curator Barbara Haskell, analyzes the evolution of Bluemner's work and places it within the context of the artist's life and the aesthetic currents of European and American modernism. The superb color plates show how, with its intense coloration and simple, recognizable shapes, Bluemner's work is immediately accessible even to those who have had little exposure to modern art.
