Description

Albert von Keller: A Life of Art and Occultism Swiss-born artist Albert von Keller was a founding member of the Munich Secession, one of Europe's most influential artists' associations. His fascination with the occult led to a modern treatment of enigmatic subjects that reflected the cultural landscape of fin de siecle Germany. This book explores Keller's life and work in depth, tracing his participation in exhibitions in major American cities and documenting his presence in important private collections of German art in America. It also examines each painting by Keller within the art-historical context of the era, using magnificent color reproductions from the Kunsthaus Zurich collection. Key works by Keller are featured, including those from the late 1870s to the beginning of the First World War, a period marked by personal tragedy and loss.
