Main Article:

Title: Director of Wellesley Museum of Art Presents Lecture Dealing With Modern German Art—Its Expressionistic Aspects

Author: By Carl Deson

The article discusses a lecture given by Dr. Carl Georg Heise, the director of the Lübeck Museum in Germany, who spoke at the Taft School. His talk focused on modern German art, specifically its expressionistic aspects. He covered the works of several prominent German artists, including:

  • Paula Modersohn-Becker
  • Ernst Barlach
  • Lovis Corinth
  • Käthe Kollwitz
  • Franz Marc
  • Emil Nolde
  • Max Pechstein

Dr. Heise described the evolution of modern art in Germany, starting from the early 1900s. He explained how these artists broke away from traditional forms and developed a unique style that often conveyed intense emotional expression. He also noted that the Nazis had condemned much of this art as "degenerate."

The article mentions that Dr. Heise illustrated his talk with slides, providing a visual journey through the development of German expressionism.
