Product Description
Expressionist Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, co-founder of the 'Brucke' movement in Dresden, convey the essence of the revolutionary movement in the arts which overthrew the stifling academicism of Kaiser Wilhelm's Germany and led in the years between 1900 and 1914 to an amazing upsurge of creative activity. The story of this decisive and immensely rich contribution to the history of twentieth-century art is told here by a senior curator of the Bavarian State Art Collection, largely in the vivid and intensely revealing words of the artists themselves.

The best introduction to Expressionism May 19, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
This book is the best introduction to the major artistic movement in Germany in the early XXth century. It covers all the main currents, from the Blaue Reiter (Kandinsky, Marc...) to the Bruecke (Kirchner, Heckel, Mueller...)and the New Objectivity (Grosz, Dix, Bekmann...). The text is clear, easy to read, unburdened by any useless erudition, and the illustrations are numerous, even though -as is the case with all the volumes in this collection- mostly in black and white.
