In the 1921 edition of the Jahrbuch der jungen Kunst, the art historian and publisher Georg Biermann described Campendonk's early work as a unique symphony of color and rhythm. Just a few years later, his pictures would be defamed as "degenerate," driving him into exile in the Netherlands, where he remained until his death in 1957. In this beautiful volume, the author reveals Campendonk to be one the most fascinating artists of the last century, bringing to life the extraordinary overlap of his artist development with his life and times.
"Geiger's short, hardback monograph is a handsomely illustrated introduction to Campendonk. Giving a rounded picture of his life and work, Geiger--a curator and director of the Campendonk collection at Germany's Penzberg Museum--includes a substantial chronology, illustrated with photographs, and a short final section of letters and documents illuminating the artist's personal thoughts." -- "The Art Newspaper"
