Ludwig Meidner: Catalogue Raisonne of His Sketchbooks by Gerd Presler
Persecuted by the Nazis as a "degenerate" Ludwig Meidner is now considered one of the leading German Expressionist artists and even though his work is highly sought after, much of it has yet to be documented. The artist's sketches are extraordinary works of art and all 49 of Meidner's known sketchbooks are reproduced for the first time in this stunning and unique volume. The perfect medium from which to study the vitality and spontaneity of Meidner's art, these sketches display his intensely emotional and often autobiographical themes. Together they constitute a unique opportunity to appreciate the full range of this dynamic artist whose talent has long been hidden from the public eye.
Gerd Presler is an art historian and theologian who has published several catalogues raisonnes on Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Edvard Munch, and Max Beckmann, among others. Erik Riedel is an art historian and Curator of the Ludwig Meidner Archive at the Jewish Museum in Frankfurt, Germany.
