Summary:
Ein Meister der Farben und ambitionierter Weltbürger: Hans Purrmann (1880-1966) war als Künstler und Persönlichkeit, als Stilist und gesellschaftliche Integrationsfigur eine verbindende Instanz in der Moderne Europas. Schwebend leicht ist in seinen Bildern das Gleichgewicht zwischen der Wiedergabe des Gesehenen und der visuellen Reflexion der Malerei als Ausdrucksform. Schon in jungen Jahren ist Purrmann in München und Berlin mit den aktuellsten Strömungen der Kunst seiner Zeit konfrontiert gewesen, doch mit der Übersiedlung nach Paris findet er im Künstlerkreis des Café du Dôme Anschluss an die Avantgarde. Er wird Schüler und Freund von Henri Matisse und betreibt mit ihm gemeinsam eine Kunstschule. Die politischen Zeitläufe und die Weltkriege haben Purrmann zu einem durch Europa ziehenden Künstler werden lassen, der seine den Schönheiten der Welt entlehnten Motive jedoch an jedem Ort zu finden weiß. Das Buch bietet einen repräsentativen Querschnitt durch dieses von farbiger Opulenz geprägte Werk. --Publisher's website.
Hans Purrmann (1880-1966) insisted on the decorative qualities of the painting throughout his life. With the ambitious exhibition The Vitality of Colour, works by one of Germany's significant modernist artists are being shown in Denmark for the first time. Colourful landscapes, still lifes executed with heavy brush strokes, azure-coloured walls, and the relations between light, hue, and colour in paintings of interior, harmonious colour contrasts, decorative nude studies, and portraits are some of the works ... at the exhibition. The exhibition is a retrospective of Purrmann's works, connecting them with a selection of the artists whom he collaborated with or was inspired by--artists such as Max Liebermann, Henri Matisse, Mathilde Vollmoeller, Oskar and Marg Moll, Emy Roeder, as well as the writer Hermann Hesse, all of whom may also be experienced in the exhibition. --GL STRAND website.
