Edward Hagedorn

Résumé du livre

"A serious monograph on the powerful art of Edward Hagedorn is long overdue; this volume will allow his creative achievements to at last become a part of mainstream American art history. During his career Hagedorn successfully engaged in a wide variety of modernist styles, including Expressionism and Surrealism, but because of his solitary and eccentric personality there was only limited exposure and recognition of his artistic accomplishments in his lifetime . In his extensive body of graphic work, notable for its intense visual imagination, Hagedorn combined the biting wit of James Ensor (Belgian 1860-1949) , the strong design of Felix Vallotton (French 1865-1925), and the fierce humanity of Kathe Kollwitz (German 1867-1945) in some of the most bold, original, and emotionally charged American prints of the 20th Century."
