Bilingual edition French-English. A pioneer of abstraction, Otto Freundlich (1878-1943), at the beginning of his career in 1908, stayed at the Bateau-Lavoir in Montmartre where he met Picasso, Braque and Delaunay. A committed and visionary artist, he carried a powerful message in favor of a reinvented humanism operating a synthesis between the arts, philosophy and politics. Stimulated in 1937, his works from the 1910s and 1920s were partly destroyed by the Nazi regime, which denounced them as representative of what he called "degenerate art". Freundlich was deported and assassinated in 1943. This book highlights how, through the multiplicity of his creations and his thinking, he played a pioneering role in the conception of abstract art.
