Beschreibung
The Great German Artists Imposing Oeuvre Ernst Wilhelm Nay (b. Berlin, 1902; d. Cologne, 1968) was one of the most interesting painters of European modernism. Spanning the decades from the 1930s to his death in Cologne in 1968, his output encompasses paintings as well as an abundance of works on paper. The new monograph surveys all periods in Nays oeuvre, from the Fishermen paintings to the striking late pictures, which leave no doubt about the artists outstanding gift for color. Nays evolution is embedded in the history and ideas of his time, on which he reflected in lectures, writings, and notes. The volume unlocks a wide spectrum of fresh insights into Nays life and art.
