Expressionism

A specifically German artistic revolution

　　In six chapters - The Brucke 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, Felixmuller, Meidner, Morgner, Munter and von Werefkin, with some representative works.

　　The author: Dietmar Elger has been involved in the organization of several exhibitions as well as in editing catalogues on modern and contemporary art, including Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Kurt Schwitters, Das andere Medium – Zeichnungen von Bildhauern, and Stellproben. His publications include Der Merzbau, and Gerhard Richter, Werkverzeichnis der Bilder.
