1.0 out of 5 stars too many words, not enough art, July 8 2002
By 
virginia Hoge (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: German Expressionist Painting (Paperback)
I actually intensly hate art books where the writer gets off on his own writing so much that he forgets his subject - or at least he has lost track of his subject and I definitly think that is true of this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still the best thing written on Expressionist painting., Feb 10 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: German Expressionist Painting (Paperback)
Although originally published in the 1950s and at the time the first scholarly examination in English of German Expressionist painting, Selz's book remains the best source for an understanding of the various Expressionist movements and the underlying ideas that determined the movement's aesthetic look. I sincerely hope that it is still available; it is still the best textbook to have to present Expressionism to art history students for the first time.

5.0 out of 5 stars You found the gem, Jun 24 2008
By A. Anderson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: German Expressionist Painting (Paperback)
If you are searching for a book about theory of the German expressionism (Die Brucke), you found it. And believe me that is the only one worth to buy. This book goes in depth into the theory as well as the historical time. A GREAT BOOK !

2.0 out of 5 stars Greatly Disappointing!, Aug 14 2008
By B. Von Seida - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: German Expressionist Painting (Paperback)
For me as a colourist looking for innspiration, this book is very disappointing in "the flesh".
Given the description, I did not expect to receive a book that only has b/w photos. The "view" of selected pages gave no clue to this aspect.I thought that "expressionism" is charactorised, paricularly through its use of vivid colour!!
Amazon, I think you need to provide more detailed information in your descriptions of an article, and for me this experience was an expensive lesson on purchasing online.
