| book description |

Max Slevogt, the famous German Impressionist, was acclaimed by his contemporaries as the ‘King of Illustration’. This exhibition catalogue is the first to focus closely on his unique collaboration with Berlin’s most influential publisher during the Weimar Republic, Bruno Cassirer, which laid the foundations for the artist’s future reputation. The majority of Slevogt’s extensive and innovative illustrated works were published by Cassirer. The publisher repeatedly encouraged the artist to embark on projects and gave him the freedom to explore new subjects and modern creative approaches. Based on the extensive surviving correspondence between Slevogt and Cassirer, this book also presents several fresh insights into their success and networks, the historical context of their work, and the personal relationship between these two outstanding individuals.
