Max Weiler (German Edition): Der Zeichner - Softcover

Artist Max Weiler (1910–2001) not only left behind a multifaceted oeuvre of paintings, he also produced a great number of important drawings. Over a period of more than seventy years he created a body of work estimated to contain close to 3,500 drawings. Executed in almost all sizes and techniques, they express the artist’s individual cosmos―the entanglement of intrinsic and extrinsic nature―in a myriad of ways.This publication provides incisive insight into Weiler’s graphic oeuvre, presenting the development and diversity of the works as well as their relationship to painting. This reciprocal exchange is marked by the transgression and blending of genre boundaries and is illustrated based on selected paintings.
