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.

This dynamic new appraisal of the painter Gabriele Münter looks beyond her association with Wassily Kandinsky and completely reevaluates her art on the anniversary of her 140th birthday. Gabriele Münter was a photographer before she was a painter, taking her first photos around 1900 during her stay in the United States. She started painting soon after and never stopped— working on her art almost every day for the rest of her life. She was an open-minded artist who embraced experimentation, but because her oeuvre has generally been studied through the narrow lens of her relationship with Kandinsky many of her accomplishments have lingered in obscurity. Münter’s paintings from the "Blue Rider" years and her association with German Expressionism have often been the focus for evaluations of her work, yet Münter’s art was far more multifaceted, imaginative, and stylistically diverse. This book seeks to offer a broader perspective on Münter’s creative output. It examines Münter’s oeuvre in all its richness: from classic genres such as portraits and landscapes to interiors, abstractions, and her works of "primitivism."
