His use of vibrant color drew on the works of Henri Matisse, with whom he was friends, and Paul C zanne, but he achieved independent international acclaim over the course of an eventful life lived in Munich, Paris, Berlin, Florence, and Switzerland. With irrepressible curiosity, attentiveness, and an unerring eye for the beauty of the primal and essential, he produced works that pushed the bounds of representational painting. In 1955 Purrmann was included in the first \u003ci\u003edocumenta\u003c\/i\u003e exhibit in Kassel, established to reconnect West Germany to the international art scene after World War II and to showcase art that had been deemed \"degenerate\" by the Nazi regime. In 1962 he was the subject of a major retrospective at the Haus der Kunst in Munich and was hailed by the press as a sensation. Based on new sources, this book presents the life and work of Hans Purrmann and situates the painter as a prominent protagonist in twentieth-century art history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christoph Wagner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3777436798\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783777436791\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hirmer Verlag GmbH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 0.30d","brand":"Christoph Wagner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43996492071167,"sku":"9783777436791","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_00d3965f-3dd0-422c-a91e-581e096f39ef.jpg?v=1683341995","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hans-purrmann-christoph-wagner-9783777436791","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
