Professor of Art History Kimberly Smith published an essay titled “Maria Marc’s Letters” in the anthology Marianne Werefkin and the Woman Artists in Her Circle (Brill Rodopi, 2017). The essay argues that the assemblage of texts by Maria Marc—letters, postcards, widow’s signatures, provenance notes, etc.— form the literary tissue against and within which Franz Marc’s art emerged, and thus should be recognized as a generative act central to the Expressionist aesthetic.
