This comprehensive scholarly volume was published by Prestel-Verlag in association with the Royal Academy of Arts, London, to accompany a landmark 1985 exhibition. Edited by distinguished art historians Christos M. Joachimides, Norman Rosenthal, and Wieland Schmied, the book provides an expansive panorama of German modernism, featuring the work of 52 influential artists including Max Beckmann, Joseph Beuys, Otto Dix, and Wassily Kandinsky. Across more than 500 pages and 600 illustrations, it traces the evolution of German art from Expressionism through Neo-Expressionism, offering deep cultural and historical context for the movement's continuity and shifts. The book is in good vintage condition, showing some light shelf wear and minor age-related toning to the dust jacket and page edges, but remains a clean, tightly bound, and authoritative reference for any serious art collector or historian.
