Walter Kaesbach Und Die Kunstakademie Düsseldorf

Walter Kaesbach was among the most engaged individuals in German cultural life during the 92 s and 93 s. He was an art historian, museum director, academy director and art collector, and also promoted Expressionism and Modernism. In an exciting dialogue, this publication brings together various contributions and hitherto unknown documents, images and rare historical illustrations relating to Walter Kaesbach's cultural-political thinking, ideas that are still relevant today. The focus lies on his work as director of the Kunstakademie from 924 to 933, marked by the restructuring of the traditional Düsseldorf Academy and the appointments of Heinrich Campendonk, Paul Klee, Ewald Matare, Oskar Moll and Walter von Wecus, among others.
