Including the book “Paul Citroen (1896-1983) - Between modernism and portrait”.
Paul Citroen was educated at the Bauhaus in Weimar, where he came into contact with great artists such as Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky. His most famous work is 'Metropolis' (1923), a photomontage of a large city. It inspired the German director Fritz Lang to make the film classic Metropolis.
In 1928 Citroen moved to Amsterdam, where he co-founded the Nieuwe Kunstschool and further developed his own style. In his first year in Amsterdam he drew this canal view.
