This book highlights the intimate relationship between landscape and portraiture in the work of the Austrian Expressionist artist Egon Schiele (1890-1918). Plants, natural environments, and townscapes determine the spaces Egon Schiele created in his paintings, and they also reflect the rich symbolism he employed that is centered around the human condition.
In particular, plants are often endowed with an allegorical meaning. Flowers and trees assume the role of portrait subjects and convey an almost human appearance. Schiele's landscapes always represent more than their apparent subject matter. His portrayal of nature and his rendering of towns and trees epitomize the life cycle and the human condition.
This catalogue, accompanying a spectacular exhibition on view at the Neue Galerie New York, will investigate the importance of landscape in the artist's work. The contributing authors are internationally distinguished experts on Schiele's landscapes and representatives of museums and universities in Europe and the United States. -

World-renowned for her work during the Weimar period, Hannah Hoech was a pioneer in many aspects, both artistic and cultural. She was the lone woman of the Berlin Dada movement - the riotous form of art that deconstructed sound, language, and images to re-assemble them into new objects, texts and meanings. Hoech was a pivotal force in the development of collage, paving the way for today's ubiquitous image editing techniques. A determined believer in women's rights, Hoech questioned conventional concepts of partnership, beauty and the making of art, her work presenting acute critiques of racial and social stereotypes, particularly that of her native Germany.
Focusing on Hoech's collages, this book examines the artist's career from the 1920s to the 1970s, charting her oeuvre from early works influenced by fashion and mass media, through to her later compositions of lyrical abstraction. It reveals her rapid development of a personal style, which was both humorous and often moving, but also offered critical commentary on society at a time of tremendous social change. Included are essays that examine themes such as the concept of the "New Woman" and the legacy of German colonialism. Featuring international scholarship on a groundbreaking artist, this volume brings together important source texts and reference material, which were first translated into English for the original edition of this book.

This lavishly illustrated exhibition catalog features 70 career-spanning works by the French avant-garde painter, one of the 20th century's great colorists and a major proponent of Fauvism.
After his participation at the Paris Salon d'Automne of 1905, Maurice de Vlaminck (1876-1958) quickly established himself as a leading figure of the French avant-garde. More than any other member of the Fauves, he keenly identified with the attribute of wildness and early on propagated the image of a modern artist re -
Le design d'intérieur était extrêmement important pour Gustav Klimt et plusieurs de ses peintures ont été créées pour des décors ou des espaces spécifiques. Cet aspect de la pratique de Klimt prend vie dans ce livre qui illustre comment certaines des toiles les plus célèbres de l'artiste ont intégré la décoration de salles à manger et salons privés, de galeries, de musées et d'espaces d'exposition publics.

Des essais de Tobias Natter, spécialiste de Klimt, accompagnent chaque image, donnant un aperçu contextuel sur la façon dont ces oeuvres ont été conçues dans le cadre de la décoration intérieure de leurs pièces et espaces respectifs, et sur les collectionneurs passionnés qui ont été les premiers commanditaires de ces pièces.

Spanning six decades, three continents, and multiple mediums, this exhibition catalog explores one of the most significant and influential artistic movements of the twentieth century.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, painting underwent a profound transformation. Artists no longer wanted to depict the visible; they aspired to a new visual language that reduced artistic expression to an interplay of colors, lines, and shapes; reflected the modern world; and transcended national boundaries. -

Alice Neel was one of the great American painters of the twentieth century and a pioneer among women artists. A painter of people, landscape and still life, Neel was never fashionable or in step with avant-garde movements. "One of the reasons I painted was to catch life as it goes by," she explained, "right hot off the griddle." This beautifully designed volume takes a unique approach to the exhibition catalog, highlighting Neel's understanding of the fundamentally political nature of how we look at others, and what it means to feel seen. Long a favorite of portrait lovers, Neel has recently gained an even wider 21st-century audience appreciative of the searing candor with which she viewed the world, the depth of her humanity, and her championing of the underdog.
This beautifully produced catalog features a thoroughly modern design, as well as an essay by renowned critic Hilton Als and poetry by Daisy Lafarge. -
Pour beaucoup de ses contemporains, l'oeuvre créée par Max Beckmann entre 1917 et 1925 le situe à l'avant-garde de la peinture figurative de l'époque. En 1925, sa notoriété est à l'apogée grâce à l'exposition « Neue Sachlichkeit » (Nouvelle Objectivité) à Mannheim, mouvement dont il prendra ensuite les distances. Ce livre situe Max Beckmann dans le contexte artistique et historique des années 1910 et 1920, grâce à des contributions d'historiens de l'art de renom.

A groundbreaking new perspective on the painter's scandalous nudes.
Among the most celebrated works of Modigliani's brief but brilliant career are his large-format nudes. Drenched in color and glowing with the artist's deep appreciation of women and the female form, these works ushered in a new era of nude portraiture, while also causing an enormous scandal.
This stunning exhibition catalog offers a new perspective on this aspect of Modigliani's work by examining for the first time his portraits of emancipated women sporting coupe garc¸onnes haircuts and wearing loin cloths. Modigliani was one of the first chroniclers of the femme moderne, which also influenced his nude painting and the scandal they caused.
Featuring lavish reproductions and astute texts by leading scholars, this volume also examines Modigliani's cultural context in European Classicism, from Toulouse-Lautrec and Cezanne to the work of his contemporaries, including Paula Modersohn-Becker, Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Jeanne Mammen and Wilhelm Lehmbruck; and traces his impact on future European Modernism and New Objectivity. -

Charmion von wiegand: colouring modernism
Wismer Maja/Brauen M
- PRESTEL
- 15 Juillet 2021
- 9783791359755
L'artiste new-yorkaise Charmion von Wiegand (1896-1983) débute avec une peinture figurative dès les années 20 et se fait un nom comme reporter dans la Russie soviétique des années 30, mais devient bientôt une importante figure de l'avant-garde et de l'abstraction, jusqu'à bénéficier d'une grande reconnaissance pour ses peintures et collages après 1950. Elle se fait également un nom comme critique d'art ouverte à la modernité, aux arts non-occidentaux et à la théosophie, ce qui lui permet de rencontrer Piet Mondrian pour se consacrer à sa théorie du « néoplasticisme ». Ce catalogue accompagne une exposition au Kunstmuseum de Bâle puis à la Peggy Guggenheim Collection à Venise qui vise à faire redécouvrir cette artiste aujourd'hui méconnue. Elle présente les peintures et collages de l'artiste en parallèle avec des oeuvres bouddhistes anciennes.

While Munch's pessimistic, melancholy world view crucially defines our understanding of his work, many important postwar and contemporary artists have drawn inspiration from several aspects of his oeuvre. This richly illustrated book explores how nine such artists-Francis Bacon, Georg Baselitz, Louise Bourgeois, Miriam Cahn, Peter Doig, Marlene Dumas, Tracey Emin, Jasper Johns and Andy Warhol-engaged with Munch's work at different points in, or throughout, their careers. It features elaborate reproductions of sixty works by Munch juxtaposed with those inspired by him. Readers discover how Baselitz cunningly pays tribute to his artistic hero how Tracey Emin's practice, like Munch's, is autobiographical, both drawing from their personal torment to create their unnerving works ; how Marlene Dumas was drawn to the expressiveness of Munch's portraits; how Louise Bourgeois' works are illustrative of Munch's fixation on fear and isolation; how Francis Bacon modelled "Screaming Pope" after Munch's most renowned painting; and how Peter Doig draws on Munch's radical treatment of pigments and materiality. Essays by leading scholars detail each artist's unique preoccupation with Munch and offer a focused exploration of the ways women artists in particular were inspired by his examinations of loneliness, fear, and trauma.

Le célèbre artiste allemand Joseph Beuys a fait usage de l'affiche tout au long de sa carrière, à la fois comme support de communication, puisqu'il réalisait lui-même les annonces de ses expositions, mais également comme véritable medium artistique. A la fin de sa vie, il a également réalisé de nombreuses affiches pour le parti écologiste allemand, auprès duquel il s'est longuement engagé. Ce livre regroupe les posters issus des collections Claus von der Osten & Rene S. Spiegelberger, les plus importantes sur ce sujet.

Although Salvador Dali's characteristically provocative behavior and bizarre pictorial language made him an outlier in high society, his body of work reflects his century's most important innovations and concerns.
This introduction to Dali's work features dozens of exquisite reproductions as it traces the artist's development, life and career. Readers will learn how he was influenced by contemporaries Miro, Ernst, and de Chirico as well as by Raphael and Gaudi. It explores his early adoption of Surrealism, his fascination with the subconscious, and his antipathy toward war. It illustrates how Dali's return to the Catholic church and his interest in nuclear and atomic physics was manifested in his paintings; how he experimented in film and, later, even created holograms.
By making Dali's often perplexing art accessible to audiences of every level, this engaging introduction helps readers understand why he remains one of the most influential-and imitated-artists of all time. -

The first book dedicated solely to this important member of the Russian avant-garde, this volume profiles Lazar Khidekel, a brilliant artist and architect whose career proves a key link in the story of abstraction. For decades the work of Lazar Khidekel has been undeservedly overlooked by galleries and museums?primarily because the Russian avant-garde movement was interrupted midstream and forced underground by the Soviet state. This elegantly designed book provides the perfect introduction to Khidekel's decades-long career and coincides with a recently renewed fascination with Suprematism and the development of 20th-century abstraction. A student of Chagall and Malevich, Khidekel was an artistic prodigy whose fascination with architecture led to his part in the founding of UNOVIS, or «Affirmers of the New Art.» He later became a significant figure in the Suprematist movement, a distinctly Russian form of abstraction. The volume features the best examples from each phase of Khidekel's career, from his pre-Suprematist work and early architectural and eco-futuristic projects to his post-Suprematist paintings, works on paper, and architectural projects.
