Twenty-Seven – Life. Art. Legend.

Despite his early death, August Macke created an extensive body of work. The Expressionist left behind 600 paintings, thousands of works on paper, sculptures and works of decorative art. Like legendary members of the 27 Club such as Janis Joplin and Kurt Cobain, he produced pioneering work during his short life. Taking August Macke as its starting point, the volume explores the mystique surrounding the members of the 27 Club through contributions from the fields of art history, literary studies, musicology, number theory and popular culture.
