Despite his brief career, the artist left a remarkable oeuvre in his wake, his \u003cstrong\u003eobsessions with color \u003c\/strong\u003ereflecting aspects of Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Fauvism, and Expressionism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Through his engagement with these diverse schools of art, Macke assimilated disparate influences and approaches into a style entirely his own. Grouped with the \u003cstrong\u003eBlaue Reiter \u003c\/strong\u003emovement, but eschewing the mysticism that often pervaded the works of its artists, Macke returned time and again to \u003cstrong\u003ecolor-led interpretations of beauty\u003c\/strong\u003e, whether the kaleidoscopic watercolor\u003cem\u003e Bright Women in front of the Hat Shop \u003c\/em\u003e(1913), or the shimmering hues of\u003cem\u003e Lady in a Green Jacket \u003c\/em\u003e(1913). These colors reached their zenith in 1914 when \u003cstrong\u003eMacke traveled with Klee and Moilliet to Tunis\u003c\/strong\u003e and became acquainted with North African light.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With leading examples from his vivid painterly world, this book introduces us to Macke's short but influential career as a \u003cstrong\u003epioneering Expressionist\u003c\/strong\u003e. From cheerful scenes of parks, zoos, and promenades to his final major work, ominously titled \u003cem\u003eFarewell\u003c\/em\u003e (1914), we explore a remarkable talent for visual impact and an intense pursuit of the \u003cstrong\u003eemotional possibilities of color\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 10.3 x 8.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 24, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47728323166456,"sku":"9783836535076","price":30.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/5629\/7208\/files\/VOElzgrJEN9783836535076.webp?v=1783432556","url":"https:\/\/barneysbooksellers.com\/products\/macke-hardcover","provider":"Barney's Book Sellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
