Erich Heckel in Flanders
A monograph on one of the leading figures of German Expressionism, Erich Heckel and on artistic exchange in wartime Europe This book illuminates a less well-known yet coherent and deeply familiar period in the artistic career of the German expressionist Erich Heckel (1883-1970). The book contextualises the beginnings and the evolution of his work in the years from 1905 to 1918. In 1914 Heckel volunteered to go to the front, ending up on a hospital train that took him to Flanders. He remained there until the end of the First World War, working as an orderly in Roeselare, Ostend and Ghent. In Flanders, Heckel sketched daily events in the emergency hospital, of the places he visited and the people he encountered. He made woodcuts depicting expressive heads of the orderlies and their patients and of biblical subjects such as The Madonna of Ostend and The Good Samaritan. As a painter, Heckel was impressed by the landscape and the sea, and the unusual cloud formations. His landscapes and seascapes are an important highlight from this period of his work. The works included are romantic and expressive, natural and symbolic, spiritual, tangible and nostalgic.
Sculpture and Its Reproductions
This book is the first of its kind to focus on issues concerning sculpture and reproduction, and to explore the theoretical and practical consequences.
Dictionary of Artists' Models
The first reference work devoted to their lives and roles, this book provides information on some 200 artists' models from the Renaissance to the present day. Most entries are illustrated and consist of a brief biography, selected works in which the model appears (with location), a list of further reading. This will prove an invaluable reference work for art historians, librarians, museum and gallery curators, as well as students and researchers.
Expressionism
Expressionism is a style of art in which the intention is not to reproduce a subject accurately, but instead to portray it in such a way as to expressthe inner state of the artist. The movement is also associated with Germany in particular, and was influenced by such emotionally-charged styles as Symbolism, Favism and Cubism. Leading Expressionists included Wassily Kandinsky, George Grosz, Franz Marc and Amadeo Modigliani.
