August Macke: Junge Kunst 1
August Macke.
In 1922 the art historian Walter Cohen wrote about August Macke in a “Junge Kunst” volume that Macke was the Benjamin of the “Blauer Reiter” circle, and that he was particularly popular because of his genuinely youthful character. At the age of 23 August Macke had met Franz Marc in 1910, and through him had become acquainted with the artists’ group “Der Blaue Reiter.” Following joint exhibitions in 1911 and 1912 Macke focused his attention on his own pictorial language. The watercolors that he painted during the legendary trip to Tunis with Paul Klee and Louis Moilliet were of particular importance to him. Unfortunately August Macke would have only a few months during which to incorporate the new realizations into his compositions, as he would die in France on September 26, 1914, during the first weeks of the First World War.
