Werner Busch on Adolph Menzel
Adolph Menzel was a 19th-century pioneer of German realism. His paintings, drawings, and prints capture reality with remarkable truth and atmosphere. In this episode, art historian Werner Busch discusses why there has been so little published about this important artist in English. He also examines the biographical and historical events that shaped Menzel\u2019s work and the course it took. Busch is former professor of art history at Freie Universit\xe4t Berlin and author of "Adolph Menzel: The Quest for Reality" (Getty Publications, 2017).
