Stormy times. An artist’s marriage in letters 1915-1943. Hans Purrmann and Mathilde Vollmoeller-Purrmann

Felix Billeter/Maria Leitmeyer (ed.)

The correspondence between Hans Purrmann (1880-1966) and Mathilde Vollmoeller-Purrmann (1876-1943), an important painter couple of classical modernism, provides fascinating insights into the art world of the first half of the 20th century. Following the volume “Sehnsucht nach dem Anderen” (Longing for the Other), published in 2019, the second volume “Stürmische Zeiten” (Stormy Times) continues the story of the artist’s marriage in the years 1915-1943. Even in this time of historical, artistic and personal upheaval between Berlin, Langenargen, Rome and Florence, Hans Purrmann and Mathilde Vollmoeller-Purrmann were firmly rooted in the European artistic avant-garde.
