Catalogue to the Exhibition in the Städtischen Galerie im Lenbachhaus, Munich, April 16 - June 29, 1997. The American artist Albert Bloch lived in Munich from 1909 to 1923 where he met and worked with Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc, the founders of the Blue Rider group. This book examines Bloch's complete oeuvre, including six paintings he contributed to the first Blue Rider exhibition, with illustrations of all his key works. 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 America in 1923 to teach. These include the exciting "Denver Lecture", in which he provides a unique perspective of the times and talents of the Blue Rider artists. To preserve the literary style and integrity of Bloch's writings, these are reprinted in either English or German language in which they were originally written.
