Description
German Expressionist Painting by Peter Selz was first published in 1957, offering a comprehensive study of one of the most significant art movements of the 20th century. At the time, German Expressionism seemed an unconventional style, but its influence on later generations is now widely acknowledged. The original book's impact has been felt over the years, with numerous scholarly studies and popular books on the subject being published since its release. Despite this, a revised edition was not deemed feasible due to printing costs, which would have made the paperback too expensive for students. Instead, the author chose to reprint the original text, which remains a primary investigation of German Expressionist Painting. This book provides valuable insights into the art and thought of one of the most pivotal movements in modern art history.
