Ludwig Meidner (1884-1966) was one of the greatest of the Expressionists who painted the “Apocalyptic Landscapes” series (1911-1916) drawn from biblical prophecies of the apocalypse, which rose to fame for its premonition of the socioeconomic, political and emotional chaos that would ensue in Berlin, Germany during WW1. The series are depicted from a sky view in lush bold colors with clashing contrasts of disruptive, distorted and eerie aesthetic scenery. From cosmic bombardments or bombs, fires, fleeing refugees, destroyed buildings and dead bodies are in pictorial unison of violence preempting an uncertain, nihilistic and dystopian future.
