Ludwig Meidner
A master of the expressionist portrait, Ludwig Meidner (1884-1966) painted numerous portraits during the 1910s and '20s of his many acquaintances in German-Jewish intellectual circles, evidencing his broad literary and artistic networks. This book brings them all vividly together to offer a full picture of Meidner's life and influences. Ludwig Meidner: Encounters examines Meidner's portraits during this period and reveals the many writers, musicians, and fellow artists who were his friends during the years before and during the Weimar Republic. Among the two hundred color plates included are portraits of such significant figures as Leo Baeck, Bella Chagall, Max Herrmann-Neiße, and Max Reinhardt. The selected works reveal the impressive breadth of the scope of Meidner's work and are essential for understanding his oeuvre as a whole.

English summary: Ludwig Meidner's Apocalyptic Landscapes are key works of urban Expressionism. Also in his portraits, he captures the spirit of the Expressionist era in an unsurpassed intensity. The catalogue raisonne documents the first phase of his work as a painter, which begins in Paris in 1906 and ends in the mid-1920s with his return to Judaism and immersion in religious subjects. German description: Ludwig Meidners Apokalyptische Landschaften gelten als Schlusselwerke des urbanen Expressionismus. Aber auch in seinen Portrats - insbesondere den zahlreichen Selbstportrats - gelingt es ihm, den Geist der expressionistischen Epoche in unubertroffen intensiver Weise einzufangen. Das Werkverzeichnis dokumentiert uber 200 Gemalde aus der ersten Phase seines malerischen Schaffens, die 1906 in Paris beginnt und Mitte der 1920er Jahre mit seinem Gang in die Stille endet. Pinsel und Palette kommen in den folgenden 25 Jahren nur selten zum Einsatz, unter anderem, weil ihm die Nationalsozialisten als judischem Kunstler Malverbot erteilen und spater im englischen Exil die materiellen Voraussetzungen fur das Malen in Ol fehlen.
