Published in 1957, German Expressionist Painting was the first
comprehensive study of one of the most pivotal movements in the art
of this century. When it was written, however, German Expressionism
seemed like an eccentric manifestation far removed from what was
then considered the mainstream of modern art. But as historians
well know, each generation alters the concept of mainstream to
encompass those aspects of the past which seem most relevant to the
present. The impact of German Expressionism on the art and thought
of later generations could never have been anticipated at the time
of the original writing of this book. During the subsequent years
an enormous body of scholarly research and an even larger number of
popular books on German expressionist art has been printed.
Numerous monographs and detailed studies on most of the artists
exist now and countless exhibitions with accompanying catalogues
have taken place. Much of this new research could have been
incorporated in a revised edition and the bibliography certainly
could have been greatly expanded to include the important writings
which have been published in Germany, the United States and
elsewhere since this book was originally issued. The author,
however, was faced with the choice of reprinting the original text
with only the most necessary alterations-such as updating the
captions to indicate present locations of the paintings-or the
preparation of a revised text and bibliography. Desirable as a
revision appeared, present printing costs would have priced the
paperback out of reach for students. It is for this reason that I
decided to reissue the original text which stands on its own as a
primary investigation of German Expressionist Painting.
