(Carl Einstein) Wikipedia, June 25, 2013 (Carl Einstein; born 26 April 1885 in Neuwied, Rhineland; died 5 July 1940 in Lestelle-Bétharram; born Karl Einstein; writer, art historian, and critic. Regarded as one of the first critics to appreciate the development of Cubism, as well as for his work on African art and influence on the European avant-garde, Einstein was a friend and colleague of such figures as George Grosz, Georges Braque, Pablo Picasso and Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler. His work combined many strands of both political and aesthetic discourse into his writings, addressing both the developing aesthetic of modern art and the political situation in Europe) |
