| “ | The commission from the art publishers Velhagen & Klasing to write a book on Worpswede for their popular series of art monographs, which
Gustav Pauli, director of the
Kunsthalle in Bremen, had helped to obtain for
Rilke, represented first and foremost a means of securing an income for his family. As a commissioned piece of work for an established series, the monograph's content and form were largely laid down by the publishing house. The subject matter was to be the original group of painters who had exhibited at Munich in 1895... By 1902 a standard format had developed for publications on the
art of Worpswede: without exception, the focus was on the original group of ‘Worpsweders'. In writing an introductory monograph for a fairly conservative commercial series, Rilke was expected to follow this pattern.
... Rilke managed to use the monograph project to explore his own ideas about art and landscape... On 26 June 1902 he wrote to Arthur Holitscher that the task gave him the opportunity ‘to say a thing or two about artistic creation', and that the end product can hardly have been what Velhagen & Klasing or their readership were expecting (SW VI, 1276). |
