Book Review: The Cry of Nature by Stephen F. Eisenman
I got a note from the nice people at Sehepunkte about the review of Stephen Eisenman's The Cry of Nature I wrote (which is posted on Sehepunkte's website): “Sofern Sie über eine eigene Präsentation im Internet verfügen, würden wir uns freuen, wenn Sie dort Ihre...
More on Paradies: “Nicht für die Ewigkeit”
Here is a short article on the ruhr.de website about the restoration of the Paradies mural made by Franz Marc and August Macke in 1912 at the Mackes' home in Bonn. It's an interesting little piece and the website also has some photographs of the movement of the mural,...
‘Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day?’
August Macke and Franz Marc packed the friendship of a lifetime into the few short years they had together from early 1910 to the summer of 1914, even with a few breaks for pouting and sulking. Some of their correspondence is recorded in a dedicated volume, and other...

“Dog Lying in the Vodafone Store”
"... Du kannst Dir kaum vorstellen, wie wunderbar schön der Winter in diesen Tagen hier ist, schleierloses Sonnenlicht und dabei den ganzen Tag Rauhreif; sehr kalt, aber von jener schönen, erfrischenden Kälte, die einen...
Midnight Atlantic City
The article M83: Why Music Is Contemporary Art on the Installation website provides an excellent forum, in the comments section, for the discussion of the title subject. I like M83 a lot and agree that their sound is ambitious beyond poptronica though as commenters on...
In Joke – August Macke’s Last Birthday
One hundred years ago today, August Macke celebrated his 27th birthday – his last. I spend a lot of research time excavating lost, unpublished, and little-known writings and facts about August Macke and his cousin (more like a little brother) Helmuth Macke. Franz Marc...
