Publisher Description: The great retrospect in the anniversary year On account of a technological and material deployment beyond all human scope, the First World War ranks as the seminal catastrophe of the twentieth century, a century which would reach its moral nadir in the Nazi's political programme of total war and extermination. But the worlds that collapsed in 1914 in a conflict involving seventy million soldiers in Europe, Africa and Asia and which would cost the lives of seventeen million people, had already become fragile in the years before; a number of writers, musicians and artists had long since become weary of these worlds and, like many of their -fellow countrymen, positively -celebrated the outbreak of hostil-ities. Franz Marc, in keeping with countless statements by his contemporaries, summed up this spirit as follows: In our era of great struggle for new art, we do not fight as the organised, but as >wild ones Art works in the exhibitions by the following artists: Jean Arp, Roberto Marcello Iras Baldessarif, Ernst Barlach, Mack Beckmann, Carlo Carr , Lovis Corinth, Robert Delaunay, Otto Dix, Marcel Duchamp, Raoul Dufy, Heinrich Ehmsen, Conrad Felixm ller, Andr Fraye, August Gaul, Albert Gleizes, Natalya Goncharova, Walter Gramatt , George Grosz, Otto Gutfreund, Raoul Hausmann, Erich Heckel, Richard Huelsenbeck, Willy Jaeckel, Marcel Janco, Alexej von Jawlensky, Wassily Kandinsky, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Paul Klee, Oskar Kokoschka, K the Kollwitz, Alfred Kubin, Frantisek Kupka, Fernand L ger, Wilhelm Lehmbruck, Aristarkh Lentulov, Max Liebermann, August Macke, Vladimir Mayakowsky, Kazimir Malevich, Franz Marc, Andr Mare, Frans Masereel, Ludwig Meidner, Jean Metzinger, Gabriele M nter, Christopher Richard Wynne Nevinson, Emild Nolde, Francis Picabia, Pablo Picasso, Hans Richter, Luigi Russolo, Egon Schiele, Gino Severini, Max Slevogt, Jacob Steinhardt, Franz von Stuck, Vladimir Tatlin, Leon Underwood, Henry Valensi, Theo van Doesburg, douard Vuillard, Albert Weisgerber, Ossip Zadkine Exhibition: |
