The publication of the new book coincides with the 80th anniversary of Leicester s seminal wartime exhibition Mid European Art - the first major exhibition of German Expressionism to be held in Britain. Since then, Leicester s collection of German Expressionist art has grown to include over 550 items, through purchases, gifts and bequests.

It is the legacy of museum director Trevor Thomas, whose extraordinary wartime exhibition 'Mid-European Art' in 1944, ispired the founding of such a unique collection with the purchase of Franz Marc's 'Red Woman'.'
