More About This Textbook

Overview

Famous across Europe and America, recipient of the highest possible honours in Germany including the order of the Black Eagle and elevation to nobility, admired by Degas as 'the greatest living master', Adolph Menzel was perhaps the greatest German painter of the late nineteenth century. In this splendidly illustrated book - the only comprehensive volume on Menzel in English - photographs of the artist and contemporary Berlin accompany reproductions of hundreds of his paintings and drawings. Menzel specialists and art historians contribute chapters on his life and art, his visits to France, his critical reception, relevant social and historical background, and different approaches to his work. Until recently, Menzel's many paintings and drawings were separated from one another in collections on either side of the Berlin Wall. Now, in the wake of reunification, the Berlin Museums have put together the most extensive Menzel exhibit since the retrospective that followed his death in 1905. This book is the catalogue for the exhibit that had its debut at the Musee D'Orsay in Paris (April 15 to July 28), travels to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. (September 15, 1996 to January 5, 1997) and returns to Nationalgalerie in Berlin (February 7 to May 11, 1997).

The reunification of Germany has obvious political fallout but less obvious artistic results. The reassembled collections of German art offer new possibilities for shows, and one such is Adolph Menzel 1815D1905: Between Romanticism and Impressionism which is now showing at Washington's National Gallery until January 5, 1997. Although famed during his life as a member of the Royal Academy, a painter of genre scenes and a favorite of the Prussian court, Menzel is recognized today for the informal landscapes and interiors from the 1840s that were almost unknown during his life. The show's catalogue, edited by Claude Keisch and Marie-Ursula Riemann-Reyher, collects essays on Menzel's life, times, work and influences, as well as 450 illustrations, 162 in color.
