If you are searching for a book about theory of the German expressionism (Die Brucke), you found it. And believe me that is the only one worth to buy. This book goes in depth into the theory as well as the historical time. A GREAT BOOK !
Still the best thing written on Expressionist painting.

Although originally published in the 1950s and at the time the first scholarly examination in English of German Expressionist painting, Selz's book remains the best source for an understanding of the various Expressionist movements and the underlying ideas that determined the movement's aesthetic look. I sincerely hope that it is still available; it is still the best textbook to have to present Expressionism to art history students for the first time.
