Like a true artist of his time, Macke knew how to integrate into his painting the elements of the avant-garde which most interested him. Macke's career was cut short by his early death in the second month of the First World War at the front in Champagne, France, on 26 September 1914. His final painting, Farewell, depicts the mood of gloom that settled after the outbreak of war.

August Macke lived during a mostly innovative time for German art and saw the development of the German Expressionist movements as well as the arrival of the following avant-garde movements which were forming in the rest of Europe. Like a true artist of his time, Macke knew how to integrate into his painting the elements of the avant-garde which most interested him. His style was formed within the mode of French Impressionism and Post-impressionism and later went through a Fauve period. Macke's meeting with Robert Delaunay in Paris in 1912 was to be a sort of revelation for him. Delaunay's chromatic Cubism, which Apollinaire had called Orphism.

Nel 1912 il ventunenne Egon Schiele viene arrestato a Neulengbach, una cittadina a mezz’ora di treno da Vienna, dove risiede da qualche mese con la modella e compagna Wally Neuzil. L’accusa è duplice e molto grave: il giovane pittore avrebbe sedotto una minorenne, la quattordicenne Tatjana von Mossig, figlia di un alto dirigente del Ministero della Marina e avrebbe inoltre esposto materiale pornografico in un luogo accessibile a minori… (dalla Postfazione di Federica Armiraglio). “Un uomo più debole sarebbe subito impazzito e anch’io sarei diventato pazzo se avessi dovuto continuare ancora a lungo in quello stato di continua ebetudine. Perciò, nella condizione in cui mi trovo, sradicato dal mio terreno creativo, con dita tremanti inumidite nella mia saliva amara, mi sono messo a dipingere per non impazzire del tutto. Servendomi delle macchie nell’intonaco ho creato paesaggi e teste sulle pareti della cella, poi osservavo il loro lento asciugarsi fino a impallidire e sparire nella profondità del muro, come fatti sparire dall’invisibile potenza di una mano incantata.”
