奥古斯特·马科（1887–1914）迅速声名鹊起，却在27岁的青壮年时于第一次世界大战爆发初期不幸身亡。尽管艺术生涯短暂，这位艺术家却留下了数量可观的作品，他对色彩的痴迷体现了印象派、后印象派、野兽派和表现主义的诸多特点。

通过接触这些风格各异的艺术流派，马科将各种不同的影响和技法融入自己独树一帜的风格中。他虽属于青骑士运动成员，却避开了该运动艺术家作品中常见的神秘主义元素，转而不断以色彩为主导来诠释美，无论是色彩斑斓的水彩画《帽店前的靓丽女子》（1913年），还是《穿绿夹克的女士》（1913年）中闪烁的色调皆是如此。1914年，马科与克利和莫伊列特同游突尼斯，见识了北非的光线，他对色彩的运用也在这一时期达到了顶峰。

本书精选了他充满活力的绘画世界中的代表作品，为我们介绍了他作为先锋派表现主义者那短暂却极具影响力的艺术生涯。从公园、动物园和散步场所的欢快场景，到他最后的主要作品——标题颇具不祥之兆的《告别》（1914年），我们能领略到他非凡的视觉冲击力天赋，以及他对色彩所蕴含的情感可能性的执着探索。

August Macke (1887–1914) quickly ascended to notoriety, only to be killed at the tender age of 27 at the start of World War I. Despite his brief career, the artist left a remarkable oeuvre in his wake, his obsessions with color reflecting aspects of Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Fauvism, and Expressionism.

Through his engagement with these diverse schools of art, Macke assimilated disparate influences and approaches into a style entirely his own. Grouped with the Blaue Reiter movement, but eschewing the mysticism that often pervaded the works of its artists, Macke returned time and again to color-led interpretations of beauty, whether the kaleidoscopic watercolor Bright Women in front of the Hat Shop (1913), or the shimmering hues of Lady in a Green Jacket (1913). These colors reached their zenith in 1914 when Macke traveled with Klee and Moilliet to Tunis and became acquainted with North African light.

With leading examples from his vivid painterly world, this book introduces us to Macke’s short but influential career as a pioneering Expressionist. From cheerful scenes of parks, zoos, and promenades to his final major work, ominously titled Farewell (1914), we explore a remarkable talent for visual impact and an intense pursuit of the emotional possibilities of color.
