What do Vegetarian Apostles, Nature Prophets, and Inflation Saints all have in common?German-speaking, self-styled artist-mystics working from the 1870s throughthe 1930s, they deeply influenced later artist-visionaries Joseph Beuys, FriedensreichHundertwasser, Egon Schiele, Franti ek Kupka, Johannes Baader and Jorg Immendorf,among others. Yet the life and work of these artist-prophets have been largelyoverlooked by art history until now. A Secret History of Modern Art, an encyclopedicscholarly exhibition catalog from Frankfurt, rectifies this omission. Thoroughlyresearched and wonderfully illlustrated, this encyclopedic exhibition catalog describestheir work and demonstrates its influence on future generations of artists who sharedtheir penchant for mysticism as well as their commitment to effecting significant social,personal and economic change. With full chronology, bibliography and illuminatingtext in both German and English by curator Pamela Kort.
