Bruckmann's Lexicon of Munich Art
Bruckmanns Lexikon der Münchner Kunst is a six-volume work from the Bruckmann Verlag in Munich , which provides information on Munich painters of the 19th and 20th centuries.
Emergence
The six volumes have been published successively over a period of 13 years. In the years 1981 to 1983, volumes 1 and 4 were published as a coherent lexicon. They list the Munich painters of the 19th century in alphabetical order. In addition, in 1993 and 1994, volumes 5 and 6 were published, which are dedicated to the Munich painters at the beginning of the 20th century. The lexicon was created as a joint work of a team of 20 authors under the main authorship of the Munich art historian Horst Ludwig .
Furnishing
The six-volume encyclopedia presents more than 1800 Munich painters of the 19th and early 20th centuries on 2724 pages, making it the most extensive reference work of its kind. The artists are presented with their curriculum vitae, stylistic classification and signature. More than 3500 illustrations, some of them in color, show exemplary characteristic paintings by the artists. A selection of works from public and nameable private collections as well as literature references for further deepening round off the individual contributions. The original edition has a linen binding and colored illustrated dust jackets.
