ABSTRACT
Herwarth Walden (1878-1941) is one of the most important people, who creates the 20th centuries art scene in Germany. Der Sturm (1910-1932), the culture art magazine that he founded in 1910 in Berlin, creates important representation environments that increase the visibility of avantgarde art in Europe, especially in expressionism, along with other original art movements that have been developing in the following years. In 1912, Walden added an art gallery to the magazine, gathering the avantgarde artists of the period under the same roof, and organized important exhibitions. In time, a publishing house, a theatre, an art association and an art school were added to the structure of Sturm. Apart from the exhibitions held in the Der Sturm gallery, with the art evenings and theatrical representations, the avantgarde art in the twentieth century created an important national and international visibility. Because there were very few people who supported avantgarde art at that time. In such an environment, Walden supported his avantgarde art and artists with all his might. The important artists of the period, like Walden's portraits, thanks to this support and transformed Walden into a monumental figure in art works and immortalized them in their works. Herwarth Walden not only influences art in Germany and Europe, but also exhibits in the USA and Japan and exhibits in different cities of these countries. Supporting artists who have made significant contributions to literature and visual art, Walden enables many young artists to gain visibility in the transforming new art scene. As a matter of fact, a large number of artists' articles have been published for the first time in the Der Sturm Magazine and art works are exhibited in the Sturm Gallery. Walden has always been a name in the art scene with the support of art and artists. In this study, it was tried to reveal the components of German musician, composer, writer, art critic, journal and gallery owner Herwarth Walden and Der Sturm Movement, which had created important representations of modern art in the 20th century, that rarely have a part in Turkish Art History. However, when Walden's works, which were examined in different periods, and his portraits made by prominent artists of the period, came together, a complete portrait of an important figure in the art market of the period was unearthed.
