About the Book

English summary: Wood blocks reveal unmediated the creative formation of the wood cuts: they document the process and the involvement of the artist with the material more than the flat impression made on paper. Besides the graphics, the particular affinity of Karl Schmidt-Rottluff for the material of wood is revealed in the production of sculptures, furnishings, and handcrafts. The graphic formation of the wood blocks stands on the cusp for three-dimensional works. With over 200 wood blocks, the Bruecke-Museum possesses almost half of Schmidt-Rottluff's wood works, which were donated by the artist himself in 1975. The wood-block collection contains the early small-formal works from around 1905 up to the later 1920's and provides an extensive survey of Schmidt-Rottluff's work, among which are advertising works, ex libris prints, periodical and map letterhead. From the middle of the 1920's the artist experimented with the technique of color wood cuts: he used multiple discs, cut the blocks for print with different colors or colored a block with multiple colors. The catalog presents the wood blocks in full-page color tables across from the corresponding graphic pages from the collection of the museum. The accompanying texts address the process, the specific quality of expression and the creative process of the technique. German description: Die Holzstöcke offenbaren unmittelbar die schöpferische Genese der Holzschnitte, mehr als der flächige Druck auf Papier dokumentieren sie die Bearbeitung und die Auseinandersetzung des Kuenstlers mit dem Material. Neben der Graphik zeigt sich die besondere Affinität Karl Schmidt-Rottluffs fuer den Werkstoff Holz in der Anfertigung von Skulpturen, Möbeln und Kunsthandwerk. Die plastische Gestaltung der Holzstöcke steht an der Schwelle zum dreidimensionalen Schaffen des Kuenstlers. Das Bruecke-Museum besitzt mit ueber 200 Holzstöcken fast die Hälfte des Holzschnittwerkes Schmidt-Rottluffs - der Kuenstler selbst hatte sie 1975 dem Museum geschenkt. Die Holzstock-Sammlung reicht von fruehen kleinformatigen Arbeiten um 1905 bis in die späten zwanziger Jahre und gibt einen umfassenden Überblick ueber das Werk Karl Schmidt-Rottluffs, darunter auch gebrauchsgraphische Arbeiten wie Ex libris, Zeitschriften- und Mappentitel. Ab Mitte der zwanziger Jahre experimentierte der Kuenstler mit der Technik des Farbholzschnitts: Er verwendete mehrere Platten, zersägte die Stöcke fuer den Druck mit verschiedenen Farben oder färbte einen Stock mit mehreren Farben ein. Der Katalog präsentiert die Holzstöcke auf ganzseitigen Farbtafeln und stellt die entsprechenden graphischen Blätter aus der Sammlung des Museums gegenueber. Die begleitenden Texte thematisieren die Bearbeitung, die spezifische Ausdrucksqualität und den Schaffensprozess der Technik.
