Abstract
This essay investigates the relationship and artistic similarities between the poetess Else Lasker‐Schüler and the painter Franz Marc with regard to their friendship, their similar background and development, their artistic goals, and the actual development of their style. Both abhorred the modern technological world, for example, and sought in their works to create an innocent, child‐like atmosphere, to revitalize the natural and primordial drives, and to create a new mythological tone. In their style they both progressed from a rather uncontrolled, fanciful structure, very similar in ambience to Jugendstil, to a carefully conceived and highly compressed form of creativity which was based in a mosaic‐like constellation of motifs and images. The close relationship between poetess and painter can be viewed as typical of the interworkings of literature and art of the Expressionist period.
