SCHMIDT-ROTTLUFF KARL: (1884-1976) German Expressionist Painter and Printmaker. A.L.S., K Schmidt-Rottluff, three pages, 8vo, n.p., 29th August 1949, to P[aul] F[erdinand] Schmidt, in German. Schmidt-Rottluff opens by discussing his correspondent's book 'After an absence from Berlin of a number of weeks I returned here to find your travel journey and your letter….I have already travelled all over your book and looked upon things I would have loved to see in reality. Some details have amused me highly, especially our beloved Weidlerin's scandalous adventure with Al Capone. Maybe she didn't join the Tuaregs after all.' Schmidt-Rottluff continues to refer to some exhibitions, including one in Zurich, and also remarks 'I hope your brother is aware that the art-book trade is still completely dead and I'm afraid that will impact the publishing houses as they will not be able to invest anything if there are no buyers. Somewhere I read a review of a historic art novel by Sedlmair, called Usar. That seems to be an interesting book, do you know it?' About EX Paul Ferdinand Schmidt - Director of the municipal collections at the Dresden City Art Gallery 1919-24, where he was successful in forming a world-class collection of German Expressionist art. The book to which Schmidt-Rottluff refers to in the present letter is most likely Schmidt's Unsentimentale Reise, which was published in 1949.
