August Macke was a German painter and member of the Expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider), along with Wassily Kandinsky, Alexej von Jawlensky and others. The group was active between 1911 and 1914, also the year of Macke’s death, and came at a crucial stage in the development of an avant-garde German art.
Macke’s interests in Fauvism and Cubism are both pretty clear in his works, and it is this combination that I believe makes his style so distinctive (if you are particularly fond of this painting style, then have a look at the work of Italian Scoula Romana painter Raffaele Frumenti: I have always thought his work looks influenced by Macke’s, specifically concerning colour and form.) You can view a complete online gallery of his work at AugusteMacke.org.
