The first English-language publication on Carl Grossberg, a Bauhaus-trained painter and interior designer celebrated for his scenes of industry and architecture in interwar Germany.0With a diverse practice that included painting, commercial illustration, and interior design and subjects ranging from steam engines to surrealist inventions, German artist Carl Grossberg (1894?1940) was inspired by the sights and sounds of the machine age.0Offering the first English-language examination of Grossberg?s life and work, this publication traces the development of the artist?s engagement with technology and industry, from early cityscapes to iconic machine portraits of the 1930s. This comprehensive overview of Grossberg?s career was made possible by Merrill C. Berman, who has assembled the largest collection of Grossberg?s work outside Germany and is a longtime supporter of modern European art at Harvard?s Busch-Reisinger Museum.00Exhibition: Harvard Art Museums, Cambridge, USA (04.08.2017-22.07.2018).
