Artist and critic. Hans Purrmann and Karl Scheffler in letters
Book Presentation
In Berlin in the 1920s, the art debates and developments surrounding the magazine Kunst und Künstler formed the starting point for a lifelong exchange between painter Hans Purrmann (1880–1966) and critic Karl Scheffler (1869–1951). Scheffler followed the successful painter in a series of articles, Purrmann for his part expressed himself in the magazine with texts on the history of art.
