Rediscovered! Charlotte Berend-Corinth, an unfairly neglected artist.Quite apart from her position as the wife and model of Lovis Corinth (1858–1925), Charlotte Berend-Corinth (1880–1967) shone as an artist and was, like Käthe Kollwitz, one of the few women members of the Berlin Secession. This monograph is dedicated to this highly gifted, successful, and unfairly neglected artist, presenting an impressive synopsis of her oeuvre. Berend-Corinth pursued a remarkable career with ultra-modern, radical subjects in the Berlin of the 1910s and 1920s until she was compelled to leave Germany and to emigrate to the United States due to her Jewish ancestry. Her early work, in which she captured the permissive mood of the Berlin art and theater scene during the 1910s and 1920s, represents one main area of focus, as do the later portraits of famous personalities of her time and some of her remarkable self-portraits, still lifes, and landscape pictures.

Sport, as a media event and leisure ritual, is increasingly becoming a center of commercial and personal interest, with an ever greater role in society, politics, and the economy. Thus was this investigation into the role of sport in the arts instigated, focusing on the cult of the star, mass hysteria, the portrayal of sporting heroes in the media, self-chastisement, obsession with beauty, and fashion trends in the fitness industry.

Diese Publikation erscheint anlässlich der Ausstellung Slevogt und der „Wilde Westen“ in der Modernen Galerie, Saarbrücken und widmet sich Max Slevogts lebenslanger Faszination von Wildwestromanen. Geprägt von der eigenen Kindheits- und Jugendlektüre sowie der allgemein vorherrschenden Wildwestromantik im Deutschen Reich setzte er die damit verbundene Vorstellung von Abenteuer und Freiheit in zahlreichen Buchillustrationen und Graphiken künstlerisch um.
