Artist Max Slevogt and Berlin publisher Bruno Cassirer exchanged letters regularly over many years. The surviving correspondence, comprising around 350 documents, not only reflects their long-standing business friendship and the changes in Slevogts artistic approach. The letters and postcards also offer many insights into the art trade of the time, the two correspondents network, and the political events of the late German Empire and the Weimar Republic. The letters and postcards surviving in the artists written estate are now being published for the first time, including 53 letters from Slevogt with his characteristic humorous marginal drawings, in a scientifically catalogued and annotated edition - a milestone for the study of classical modernism in Germany.
