Everything about Der Sturm totally explained
Der Sturm (
German: The Storm) was a magazine of
expressionism founded in
Berlin in
1910 by
Herwarth Walden. It ran twice-monthly until
1932.
Among the literary contributors were
Peter Altenberg,
Max Brod,
Richard Dehmel,
Anatole France,
Knut Hamsun, Arno Holz,
Karl Kraus,
Selma Lagerlöf,
Adolf Loos,
Heinrich Mann,
Paul Scheerbart, René Schickele. Walden's activities included
Sturmkreis (storm circle),
Sturmbühne (storm stage),
Sturmgalerie (storm gallery), and
Sturm-Abende (storm evenings), in which modern lyric poetry appeared.
Der Sturm consisted of pieces such as expressionistic dramas (for example from
Hermann Essig and
August Stramm), artistic portfolios (
Oskar Kokoschka), essays from artists (the
Kandinsky Album), and theoretical writings on art from
Herwarth Walden. The most well-known publications resulting from the magazine were the
Sturmbücher (storm-books), (for example Sturmbücher 1 and 2 were works of August Stramm –
Sancta Susanna und
Rudimentär). Postcards were also created featuring the expressionistic, cubist, and abstract art of
Franz Marc,
Wassily Kandinsky,
Oskar Kokoschka,
August Macke,
Gabriele Münter,
Georg Schrimpf, Maria Uhden,
Rudolf Bauer and others. The term
Sturm was branded by Walden to represent the way in which modern art was penetrating Germany at the time.
Particularly in the time before outbreak of the
World War I,
Der Sturm played a crucial role in the French-German exchange of expressionist artists, which led to a special relationship between
Berlin and
Paris. Regularly, poems and other texts of French and/or French-speaking expressionists were published (
Guillaume Apollinaire,
Blaise Cendrars, etc). This relationship was renewed after the war despite the hostilities between the two countries caused by the fighting.
