Matisse seems like heaven to me. Hans Purrmann, Karl Ernst Osthaus, Henri Matisse. The correspondence 1907-1919

Rainer Stamm/Gloria Köpnick (ed.)

This edition makes the complete correspondence between the collector and founder of the Folkwang Museum Karl Ernst Osthaus and the painters Henri Matisse and Hans Purrmann accessible for the first time.

The correspondence thus opens up new sources on the early reception history of Matisse’s works in Germany, on the genesis of the painter’s early major works and on the founding of the Académie Matisse. The edition of the widely scattered correspondence offers numerous new insights not only for Matisse research, but also for the study of Hans Purrmann and the founder of the Folkwang Museum. The correspondence is supplemented by a greeting from the Hans Purrmann Archive as well as an expert introduction by the editors, an index of persons and a bibliography.
