Quotes

“I have been in Munich this week, and got to know the whole 'Neue Künstlervereinigung' at Tannhauser's [gallery] – Jawlensky, Kandinsky etc. For Munich they are very, very good, I was interested.”
“He [Robert Delaunay] gives movement itself [in his pictures], the Futurists only illustrate movement.”
“It was the desire for living, vital expression which built Gothic cathedrals, which created Mozart sonatas. I believe it is going to stay that way for long time to come.”

August Robert Ludwig Macke (3 January 1887 – 26 September 1914) was a German Expressionist painter. He was one of the leading members of the German Expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider). He lived during a particularly active time for German art: he saw the development of the main German Expressionist movements as well as the arrival of the successive avant-garde movements which were forming in the rest of Europe. As an artist of his time, Macke knew how to integrate into his painting the elements of the avant-garde which most interested him. Like his friend Franz Marc and Otto Soltau, he was one of the young German artists who died in the First World War.
