Franz Marc: The Complete Works, Volume 2: The Watercolours, Works on Paper, Sculpture and Decorative Arts

Franz Marc (1880-1916) was one of the most important members of the Blue Rider group of painters, together with artists such as Wassily Kandinsky, Gabriele Münter, August Macke, Paul Klee, and Alfred Kubin. The group marked the high point of German Expressionism and had a profound influence on international art during the brief period from its formation to the start of the First World War. The third and final volume of the catalogue raisonné contains the thirty-two sketchbooks by the artist and illustrates the hundreds of drawings he made from life as studies for works in other media. Over one thousand sketchbook pages are catalogued and reproduced for the first time, many of which had been separated from the sketchbooks and are here re-united with details of provenance and present location to provide a complete picture of the artist’s preparatory work. The volume also contains detailed entries and illustrations of the artist’s forty-five prints, including information on media, provenance, and location. It begins with introductory texts that explain the authors’ methodology in cataloging the work and concludes with concordances, a glossary of terms, bibliography, and index.

Franz Marc: The Complete Works, Volume 3: The Prints and Sketchbooks

Franz Marc (1880–1916) was a leading member of the Blue Rider group which also included the painters Wassily Kandinsky, Gabriele Münter, August Macke, Paul Klee and Alexej Jawlensky. The group marked the high point of German Expressionism and has had a profound influence on international art and culture since.Marc's luminous paintings of animals have the sacred mystery and contemplative quality of early human cave art rendered in Technicolor. His later compositions, increasingly abstract, are breathtakingly virtuosic and possessed of rare and vertiginous beauty. The dazzling scope of the works in pencil from his last days, recorded in the 'Sketchbook from the Battlefield', attest to the huge loss to culture that was the premature death of this singular talent when he was killed in the World War I.Volume 1 illustrates all 244 of Marc's oil paintings, with complete details of chronology, provenance, literature and exhibitions, as well as including investigations of the artist's technique and its evolution.Volume 2 is devoted to the watercolors, works on paper, sculpture and decorative arts.The third and final volume of this catalogue raisonné includes, along with other material, Marc's thirty-two sketchbooks, which contain the many hundreds of drawings he made – some autonomous, some studies for other work – which together provide profound and intriguing insights into his art. The entries total more than a thousand sketchbook pages, of which over half are reproduced here for the first time, all in full color. Together this major work provides the ultimate reference work for art lovers, art historians and collectors, offering fresh insights into the work of Franz Marc and the Blue Rider group as a whole.

History & Criticism

Gabriele Munter (1877-1962) was one of the most important German Expressionist artists of the early twentieth century. Her radical and experimental approach to painting revitalised the genres of portraiture, landscape and still life. She achieved a distinct voice within the cross-currents of European modernism. Today, however, Munter's work is largely unknown outside Germany, her reputation eclipsed by male contemporaries such as her partner Wassily Kandinsky. Gabriele Munter: The Search for Expression 1906-1917 focuses on the most intensively creative period of her career, when she took what she later described as 'a great leap' - away from Impressionism into a bold and brightly coloured Expressionism. Here more than fifty key works are reproduced, with essays by leading experts, Annegret Hoberg providing an outline introduction and Shulamith Behr discussing her role as 'more than a Muse' in German Expressionism.

The first overview in a decade on Kubin’s gothic pageant of dreamworld menace 
The art of the great Austrian draftsman, illustrator and author Alfred Kubin (1877–1959) appears more current today than ever before; wartime destruction, pandemics, natural disasters and the manipulation of the masses pervade his highly narrative works. Kubin’s nightmarish oeuvre extends Symbolism and the fantastical art of the 19th century and may be considered a precursor to French Surrealism, with its syntheses of actual and imaginary reality, its bleak realms that Kubin often seasoned with humor, irony and exaggeration. 
Published for an exhibition at the Leopold Museum in Vienna, Alfred Kubin: Confessions of a Tortured Soul offers an exploration of Kubin’s oneiric worlds in terms of their relation to the unconscious. Through this lens, psychoanalyst and psychiatrist August Ruhs addresses pieces by Kubin selected by curator Hans-Peter Wipplinger. In addition, Kubin’s works are placed into a dialogue with works by artists of the 19th century and of the classical modernism from which Kubin derived inspiration.

Gabriele Munter: A Retrospective

Halbmayr, Barbara

This is a collection of work housed in the Lenbachhaus in Munich of the artist's group, The Blue Rider, which became a symbol of revolution in modern art in the early 20th century. Their preoccupation was with abstraction, the forces and laws of nature, primitive art, and the role of colour. The work of Vassily Kadinsky, Franz Marc and Paul Klee have since become avant-garde icons known throughout the world. The Lenbachhaus possesses the world's finest collection of works by these artists and this volume brings together some 120 highlights.

Did an American influence the style of one of the most important groups of European artists in the 20th century? American artist Albert Bloch lived in Munich from 1909 to 1921, where he met and worked with Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc, the founders of the revolutionary Blue Rider Group. Until now, he has hardly been mentioned in any of the major accounts of the group.Albert Bloch: The American Blue Rider examines Bloch's complete oeuvre, including six paintings he contributed to the first Blue Rider exhibition, with illustrations of all his key works in color. An extensive anthology includes his correspondence with Kandinsky, Marc and other well-known contemporaries, as well as the texts of the lectures he gave after he returned to America in 1923 to teach. These include the 'Denver Lecture' in which he provides a unique perspective from within the times and talents of the Blue Rider artists. To preserve the literary style and integrity of Bloch's writings, these are reprinted in either the English or German language in which they were originally written. The publication of this material for the first time in Albert Bloch: The American Blue Rider is certain to arouse great interest, adding a new dimension to the history of the Blue Rider.
