Abstract
Albert Bloch, together with Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc, participated in one of the most significant art shows of the twentieth century, the Blue Rider exhibition of Munich in 1911–1912. Subsequently this American artist from St. Louis also exhibited with Paul Klee. During the decade from 1910 to 1920 Bloch contributed to at least forty European exhibitions. The present publication provides an overview of this period of Bloch’s career. Thanks to an original photographic record of 140 paintings from that period, we are able to recover the evolution of his art in the context of a most innovative period of modern art.
