August Macke @ 125

"One of the greatest artists of his generation, August Macke produced paintings that enchant viewers with vibrant hues atomized into angular abstractions of pleasant scenes including lush parks, families and urban flaneurs bursting forth like love letters to life's little pleasures."

You can read the full article I recently posted on Macke during my "day job" here:

AS CLEAR AND BRIGHT AS WAS HIS ENTIRE BEING

(I realize this does not necessarily have anything to do with current art exhibits in North America, but I just wanted to share my love of Macke's art with you in this forum as well.)

If you ever find yourself in Bonn, Germany, you might want to check out the August Macke Haus.

How much more great art could Macke have produced had his life not been tragically cut short by war?

We will, alas, never know.
