Brimming with stunning reproductions and illuminating texts, this handy and accessible book is the perfect introduction to the famous Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer. Albrecht Dürer (1471-1521) is considered the most important German painter and graphic artist of the Renaissance period.

Dürer's works are icons of art history, whose quality and innovative power still set the trend for artists worldwide today. Even during his lifetime, this brilliant visionary, who self-confidently depicted himself posing as Christ, was able to successfully market himself, even establishing the first logo in history with his monogram.In addition to an illustrated biography that places Dürer within his historical context, many of his most famous paintings and drawings are presented and clearly explained.
Filled with brilliant reproductions, engaging texts and the latest scholarship, this portable and attractively priced volume is the perfect introduction to one of European modern art's most important movements. Founded in Munich in 1911, the Blue Rider Group was a revolutionary collective of artists that pioneered German Expressionism. Including Wassily Kandinsky, Franz Marc, Natalia Goncharova, Gabriele Münter, and Marianne von Werefkin, the group rejected the prevailing formal and academic artistic trends of their time, sought to break free from the constraints of traditional painting, transcend the material world, and explore emotional and spiritual truths in their art. This book spotlights 35 important works that embody the artists' pioneering achievements and radical innovations. It features stunning reproductions that highlight the movement's use of luminous colors, symbolic forms, and expressive brushwork. An introductory essay explores the cultural and historical environment that led to the group's establishment, the diverse critical response to their work, and their lasting impact on subsequent artistic movements, such as Cubism, the Bauhaus, and Abstract Expressionism.
