August Macke (1887 ndash; 1914) was one of the leading members of the German Expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider). He lived during a particularly innovative time for German art he saw the development of the main German Expressionist movements as well as the arrival of the successive avant-garde movements which were forming in the rest of Europe. Like a true artist of his time; Macke knew how to integrate into his painting the elements of the avant-garde which most interested him.Mackes career was cut short by his early death in the second month of the First World War at the front in Champagne; France; on 26 September 1914. His final painting; Farewell; depicts the mood of gloom that settled after the outbreak of war.

Review
7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. ABSURD.By AMAZON CUSTOMERBook is the size of a letter-size printer paper. just 86 pages. A brief one-page essay on the artist. Small reproductions. sometimes up to four paintings on a page. Very little information on the paintings themselves (is it watercolor. pastel. oil? What is the size of the work? Many of the works also do not reference their year of completion. and works are not even grouped by genre or any type of classification. Honestly. one could download better. higher-resolution images online. as well as gather more information about Redons work on the internet!
