Abstract (en)

Studies the Vinnen Protest, a spiritual and political debate between figuration and abstraction caused in Germany in 1911 by the Bremen Kunsthalle's acquisition of Van Gogh's Field with Poppies. Discusses Carl Vinnen's pamphlet, Quousque tandem, a polemical attack on French modernism that attracted support among conservatives and nationalists, including many artists. Also discusses the reaction of the German avant-garde, expressed in the pamphlet, Response; focuses on the participation of Marc and Kandinsky, who went on to create a forum for their ideas in the Blaue Reiter almanac (1912).
