| book description |

In 1919, DÃ¼sseldorf Art Academy was expanded to partially integrate the School of Arts and Crafts â€“ a milestone for the institution and its aesthetics that still characterises the academy today. Even before the founding of the Weimar Bauhaus, fine and applied arts were first united here and brought to architecture. The academy, associated with the â€œDÃ¼sseldorf School of Paintingâ€, caught up with the latest trends in contemporary art. Modern artists such as Jan Thorn Prikker, Heinrich Campendonk, Paul Klee and Ewald Matare, appointed before and during Walter Kaesbachâ€™s time as director, played their part in these developments. This publication focuses on how the caesura did not come about entirely smoothly: the coexistence of tradition and avant-garde led to contradictory yet productive potentials for DÃ¼sseldorf Art Academy. New research on the reform of DÃ¼sseldorf Art Academy in 1919 A multifaceted view of both the possibilities and limitations of art academies in the Weimar Republic Relativising the one-sided narrative of progress customarily associated with the Bauhaus.
