August Macke (1887 – 1914) was one of the leading members of the German Expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider). He lived during a particularly innovative time for German art he saw the development of the main German Expressionist movements as well as the arrival of the successive 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.
He was born in Germany on 3 January 1887, in Meschede, Westphalia and was the only son of August Friedrich Hermann Macke, a building contractor and amateur artist, and his wife, Maria Florentine, née Adolph, who came from a farming family in Westphalia's Sauerland region.
