Text in German. Written during World War II from 1943 to 1944 and first published in 1947, The Unknown in Art presents Baumeister's principles of art, based on the notion that the true artist is not a copyist of material reality but a discoverer of new values as his works of art bring the previously unknown into our visual repertoire. He not only championed an art that was universally relevant and artistic freedom that embodied a responsibility toward humanity, but also believed in nature as the starting point of all art. With these writings Baumeister made a vital contribution to the discussion of modern art as presented by fellow artists such as Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Theo van Doesburg, and El Lissitzky. --Google Books.
