Synopsis

This official catalog accompanies the exhibition 'Otto Freundlich: The Revelation of Abstraction' at the Musée de Montmartre. It explores the life and work of Otto Freundlich (1878-1943), a pioneer of abstraction who encountered Picasso and Braque in Montmartre. The book highlights his role as an engaged and visionary artist, whose powerful message for a reinvented humanism synthesized art, philosophy, and politics. It also sheds light on how his work, deemed 'degenerate art' by the Nazi regime, was partially destroyed, leading to his deportation and assassination.
