August Macke

by Anna Meseure

Las primeras tentativas artísticas de Macke provienen del año 1902. Las láminas del entonces joven de 15 años, primordialmente figuras paisajísticas y de animales, muestran ya un notable talento para el dibujo, y sorprenden por su marcada tendencia a la reducción esencial.

[Walter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great artist. The book is a solid overview of his work as best as it can be represented on a page. And he’s another artist who died at 27 ( in war). Hendrix, Basquiat, Joplin, Morrison, and Robert Johnson being some others.

Macke is one of my favourite 20th century painters. This book is a wonderful discussion of both his life and his art with beautiful plates of his works. Included are reproductions of his watercolours from Tunisia, which are not often included in books about his work. Lovely book.
