Item Number: 130677 Title: August Macke and Franz Marc : An Artist Friendship Author: Hoberg, Annegret (et al) Price: Not Available ISBN: 9783775738835 Description: Stuttgart: Hatje Cantz, 2014. 30cm., hardcover, 360pp., 332 illus. English text. Exhibition held at Kunstmuseum Bonn. Summary: The friendship between Franz Marc (1880–1916) and August Macke (1887–1914) was of vital importance to both painters and was definitive of their era. Their close bond lasted four years and came to an abrupt end with the death of Macke shortly after the outbreak of World War I. The catalogue brings together the paintings, watercolors, drawings, handcrafts, objects, and documents of these two artists, demonstrating to what extent they influenced one another in their work. Whereas Macke, seven years younger than Marc, took a sensual and spontaneous approach to the visual world, his friend had an elevated, theoretical vision, seeking the spiritual unity of existence through the image. Despite conceptual and cultural-political differences, a deep mutual affection characterized their joint undertakings, such as the exhibitions of the Blauer Reiter or their conversations on Fauvism, Cubism, Futurism, and the work of their contemporaries.
