32242 Prestel, 1997. Hardcover quarto, 215pp., 80 colour and 100 monochrome illustrations. Boards slightly bowed but clean and solid; dustwrapper bright and clean. Near fine. Did an American influence the style of one of the most important groups of European artists in the 20th century? American artist Albert Bloch lived in Munich from 1909 to 1921, where he met and worked with Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc, the founders of the revolutionary Blue Rider group. Until now, he has hardly been mentioned in any of the major accounts of the group. "Albert Bloch: The American Blue Rider" examines Bloch's complete oeuvre, including six paintings he contributed to the first Blue Rider exhibition, with illustrations of all his key works in colour. An extensive anthology includes his correspondence with Kandinsky, Marc and other well-known contemporaries, as well as the texts of the lectures he gave after he returned to American in 1923 to teach. $50.00AUD
