Worpswede.
Nach vorangegangenen Rezensionen zu Kunstausstellungen wurde die Monographie Worpswede Rilkes erste große Arbeit, in der sich die besondere Begabung des Dichters für die Verbindung von Kunst- und Persönlichkeitsbetrachtung zeigte. Rilkes 1903 erstmals erschienene Monographie gehört bis heute zu den Standardwerken über die Worpsweder Künstler an der Wende vom 19. zum 20. Jahrhundert.

About the author
Rainer Maria Rilke
1,811 books6,982 followersA mystic lyricism and precise imagery often marked verse of German poet Rainer Maria Rilke, whose collections profoundly influenced 20th-century German literature and include
The Book of Hours
(1905) and
The Duino Elegies
(1923).
People consider him of the greatest 20th century users of the language.
His haunting images tend to focus on the difficulty of communion with the ineffable in an age of disbelief, solitude, and profound anxiety — themes that tend to position him as a transitional figure between the traditional and the modernist poets.
His two most famous sequences include the Sonnets to Orpheus , and his most famous prose works include the Letters to a Young Poet and the semi-autobiographical The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge .
He also wrote more than four hundred poems in French, dedicated to the canton of Valais in Switzerland, his homeland of choice.

Interesante acercamiento a los pintores del grupo de Worpswede. Me ha ayudado, sobre todo, a comprender el paisaje que tanto influyó en el desarrollo artístico del grupo. Es una pena que Rilke no haga ni una triste mención a Paula Modersohn-Becker.

Una raccolta variegata di testi di Rilke, il mio primo approccio con la sua prosa. Una prosa splendida, da cui emergono a mio avviso tre scritti tra tutti: Samskola, Del paesaggio e Rumore primigenio. Le parole sul paesaggio sono profondissime e indimenticabili.

Landschafts-/Naturpoesie ist nicht so meins. Manchmal kam aber auch doch das Gefühl auf, dass Rilke eine Naturszene beschreibt, die das Leben widerspiegelt. "Abend" hat es mir da angetan.

Ein Dichter erzählt von Landschaftsmalern und malt dabei mit Worten ein Meisterwerk.

Perhaps not my favorite Rilke, but the beautiful edition I received as a gift is illustrated beautifully with paintings and charcoal sketches by Rilke's friend Heinrich Vogeler.

Ein überraschend friedlicher Rilke voll positiver Worte für die Künstler
