»Exploring the Brücke artists’ frames and pictures, this book is an important addition to art historical research, a valuable tool for collectors and experts, and a visual treat for book lovers and art aficionados alike. Taking its cue from the artists’ notion of the “Gesamtkunstwerk”, it presents their pictures and frames as single compositional entities for the first time.
Shown in their frames, the works were all photographed specially for the book’s lavish picture pages, where high-resolution images offer unrivalled insights into the frames’ technical construction and colour finishes.
This 456-page book is more than just an exhibition catalogue, it’s also the standard reference work on original frames by Brücke artists. Its ten essays examine the subject from various angles, while numerous shorter texts and detailed frame descriptions provide reliable information on the various frame types and their construction.«
