Still the best thing written on Expressionist painting.
10 Feb 2000
Format:Paperback
Although originally published in the 1950s and at the time the first scholarly examination in English of German Expressionist painting, Selz's book remains the best source for an understanding of the various Expressionist movements and the underlying ideas that determined the movement's aesthetic look. I sincerely hope that it is still available; it is still the best textbook to have to present Expressionism to art history students for the first time.

You found the gem
24 Jun 2008
Format:Paperback
If you are searching for a book about theory of the German expressionism (Die Brucke), you found it. And believe me that is the only one worth to buy. This book goes in depth into the theory as well as the historical time. A GREAT BOOK !

Greatly Disappointing!
15 Aug 2008
Format:Paperback
For me as a colourist looking for innspiration, this book is very disappointing in "the flesh".
Given the description, I did not expect to receive a book that only has b/w photos. The "view" of selected pages gave no clue to this aspect.I thought that "expressionism" is charactorised, paricularly through its use of vivid colour!!
Amazon, I think you need to provide more detailed information in your descriptions of an article, and for me this experience was an expensive lesson on purchasing online.
