Klappentext: "Big-city art for the inhabitants of big cities was primarily the creation of the artists and intellectuals of Berlin in the two decades from 1910 to 1933. Berlin witnessed an explosion of creative, individualistic experimentation that enthralled the art world of its time and is the subject of this exciting overview of an extraordinary place and period. The influences of that new art of Berlin are still at work today. Berlin is a newcomer among Europe's big cities—Paris, London, Vienna—born during the Industrial Revolution and comparable to New York in many ways. As the capital of Prussia, Berlin started to develop during the 19th century and, in particular, after the foundation of the German Empire in 1871. With breathtaking speed, it became the center of a modern industrial society; at the same time, however, Berlin was the seat of the ruling house of Prussia, known for its archaic ideas of empire. This is only one of the many contradictions that resulted from such rapid growth. The effect of Berlin's internal contradictions on a 20th-century society that lives to a large extent in big cities fascinated and attracted artists and intellectuals, and provided the basis for the creation of a new kind of art there between 1910 and 1933. The same contradictions that gave birth to this new type of art also destroyed it. Within two decades, artists in Berlin were confronted with prosperity, inflation and the Great Depression. The barriers between the various forms of art were almost completely removed, and artists of world renown in every field, from architecture, painting and sculpture to theater and film, participated in this heady period of creation. Among a multitude of artists then working in Berlin were Kirchner, Grosz, Dix, Heckel, Schmidt-Rottluff, Pechstein, Kokoschka and Malevich; among architects, Behrens, Taut, Mendelsohn and Wagner; in the theater Reinhardt, Pescator and Brecht; in film Lang, Murnau and Pabst. The authors are all confirmed experts on this period. Professor Eberhard Roters, director of the Berlinische Galerie and a member of Berlin's Academy of Art, has written an informative introduction to the entire period. He is also responsible for the detailed chapter on painting with emphasis on Expressionism. Janos Frecot, archivist at the Berlinische Galerie, and Sonja Giinther, architect and teacher of the history of architecture, have collaborated on a chapter on the city itself, its architecture and its housing during the period. They have been able to use contemporary documents to reproduce buildings that have been altered or destroyed. Joachim Heusinger von Waldegg, custodian for the Stadtische Kunsthalle in Mannheim, surveys the sculpture in Berlin in this important era. The director of Berlin's International Film Festival, Ulrich Gregor, has compiled an interesting overview of film production in Berlin at a time when Fritz Lang and G. W. Pabst were prominent. Finally, Professor Arno Paul, of Berlin's Freie Universitat; has prepared the chapter on theater. This is a richly illustrated study, which provides a thorough look at the artistic situation in Berlin from 1910 to 1933. In addition to works from museums and private collections, it includes valuable contemporary documents of many items that the wars have not spared, as well as short biographies of the artists treated, and an index, making this the essential review of every aspect of this new big-city art in Berlin from 1910 to 1933."
