{"product_id":"51410-august-deusser","title":"August Deusser","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe painter, collector, and arts advocate August Deusser helped to blaze the trail for nascent Modernism in the Rhineland. Becoming known on the French avant-garde art scene early on, he began advocating for the renewal of painting in early twentieth-century Germany, as the founder of secessionist art associations. He and Julius Bretz, Max Clarenbach, Walter Ophey, and Wilhelm Schmurr founded the \u003cem\u003eSonderbund\u003c\/em\u003e (\u0026ldquo;special alliance\u0026rdquo;) in D\u0026uuml;sseldorf, whose exhibitions created a furor. As a painter, he had a fondness for motifs of horses or riders; later, he turned to realistically oriented landscapes and portrait painting. The catalogue shows August Deusser\u0026rsquo;s development as an artist, with a focus on the years 1908 to 1912, which were of particular importance to the painter and arts advocate. Besides essays, the volume also contains reproductions of works by the co-founders of the \u003cem\u003eSonderbund\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter apprenticing as a decorative painter, August Deusser (1870\u0026ndash;1942) studied at the D\u0026uuml;sseldorf Kunstakademie, where he also held a special professorship from 1917\u0026ndash;24. His marriage to the painter Elisabeth Eugenie Albert made him financially independent, enabling him to take up arts advocacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEXHIBITIONS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSt\u0026auml;dtische Wessenberg-Galerie, Konstanz\u003cbr \/\u003e\n30.11.2019\u0026ndash;19.4.2020\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMuseum GochMuseum Goch\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e28.6.\u003c\/span\u003e\u0026ndash;13.9.2020\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49755232895240,"sku":"9783775746120","price":48.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775746120_6c93cbf1-ba02-459d-9a7d-9bd2d2a248ef.jpg?v=1744045338","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/51410-august-deusser","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
