The priority of August Macke's (1887-1914) work lies on his drawings. Macke's sketchbooks, full of sketches and studies, together with his drawings are an oeuvre of remarkable size. This volume shows in addition to the 78 sketchbooks already published, all drawings preserved till today on loose leaves. They accompany the artist's whole work as hasty sketches or as studies for composition. Besides he also made numerous independant drawings.
