Russian Ballet by August Macke Greeting Cards
I came late to the work of August Macke but when it happened, I fell in love as never before.
Portrait of the Artist s Wife by August Macke Card
August Macke (3 January 1887 – 26 September 1914) was one of the leading members of the German Expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider). He lived during a particularly innovative time for German art which saw the development of the main German Expressionist movements as well as the arrival of the successive avant-garde movements which were forming in the rest of Europe. Like a true artist of his time, Macke knew how to integrate into his painting the elements of the avant-garde which most interested him. [Wikipedia]

I’d never heard of him, which saddens me, because his work is really striking. What a rich creative period that was
