Rilke's diary and essay on the cult artists' association.

In August 1900, the young but already famous poet Rainer Maria Rilke came to the village of Worpswede (near Bremen) to visit Heinrich Vogeler, the illustrator of his poems. He stayed there for just over a month, became acquainted with the artists' colony, became close with the sculptor Clara Westhoff, a student of Max Klinger, whom he married the following spring. Two years later, he wrote a short monograph about the young artists who conceived a quiet revolution. In addition to the essay, published in 1903, Rilke left a diary of his stay in Worpswede.
