Hans Schmithals (1878-1964) is amongst the artists responsible for the development of abstract art in Munich around 1900. Yet, his paintings defy a categorization according to style: Is it ornamental abstraction or a tendency towards non-representation? Is he a predecessor of or one of the first non-representationalists? As this volume documents, his art straddles the transition between Art Noveau and Abstract art. German text.
