Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The drawings of Israeli artist Eran Shakine may look carefree and casual, but their message is serious: Muslims, Christians, and Jews share a history. They are linked through Abraham's sons Ishmael, an ancestor of the Muslims, and Isaac, an ancestor of the Jews, as well as through Jesus, bo…rn a Jew. As Shakine demonstrates in this new collection of his work, Muslims, Christians, and Jews have a great deal in common. Eran Shakine: Knocking on Heaven's Door presents new large-format oilstick drawings depicting Muslims, Christians, and Jews as an indistinguishable trio involved in actions that are both profound and humorous. In doing so, he reveals both the diversity and the similarity of the three and offers his own highly individual view of these world religions. Shakine's work argues that though they may have many differences, they share one thought: when they knock at heaven's door, they all hope to find the love of God. The result is a moving, sometimes witty, and always powerful collection of drawings that speak to many conflicts in the world today.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Max Beckmann (1884-1950), the outstanding Expressionist painter, is regarded as one of the most important artists of the twentieth century. His works, jostling with figures and full of colour, are packed with highly symbolic messages. They are critical of the times in which he lived and bea…r witness to Beckmann's struggle with existential questions and his constant search for truth.Max Beckmann is one of the most fascinating painters of the modern age, who more than almost any other reflected the social upheavals of his time, not only in his numerous works but also and not least through his extensive correspondence and diaries. He was an observer, a gentleman, a loner and a reflective witness of his age. Perpetually searching for truth, he was a self-critical witness of the times in which he lived. It is especially in his expressive self-portraits that we believe we can get closer to Beckmann's multi-faceted nature and hence become better able to understand the wide range of metaphors in his multi-faceted oeuvre. This volume by one of the most illustrious Beckmann specialists, Dr. Christiane Zeiller, traces his artistic career and the principal stations of his life, from the years in Berlin and Frankfurt via his exile in Amsterdam und America. The unique Max Beckmann Archives, with its wide-ranging legacy, are currently housed in the Bayerische Staatsgemaldesammlungen in Munich. Material which has not previously been published will be shown in the publication, including private photos and objects from amongst the artist's personal possessions.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. "I want to have an effect at this time, in which people are at such a loss and so much in need of help." Kaethe Kollwitz is the woman artist from 20th-century Germany whose works are best-known internationally. She also enjoys the highest esteem beyond the boundaries of Europe. The inimitab…le, touching language of her graphic and sculptural works is universally understood and her haunting message is more topical than ever. Outraged at the societal and social ills of her time, Kollwitz devoted herself throughout her life to the representation of people, giving a voice through her works to the distress and grief of the poor and underprivileged. Equally inspired in both expression and artistic execution, she took up topics like parting and death, peace and the sufferings of war. Her intimate portrayal of mothers and children and her self-portraits are full of strength and beauty. They, too, form part of Kaethe Kollwitz's oeuvre and show how multi-faceted her creative works were. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Rediscover an American modernist and her poetic celebration of nature. The spiritually inspired pictures of Agnes Pelton (1881-1961) have their roots in the desert of California, a place where she settled in 1932 and lived until her death. Pelton wrote of her highly symbolic paintings that…her pictures were "like little windows," which opened up a view into the interior, her "message of light to the world". In the 1920s Pelton started to explore abstract painting because this offered her the possibility of translating esoteric topics into pictures. Like her fellow artist Georgia O'Keeffe, Pelton deliberately turned her back on the art scene of the East Coast. She was celebrated for her abstract compositions: "It is simply an oasis of beauty for the eye", was how American Art News eulogized her work. After her death, Pelton's work disappeared from the public focus for a long time, but in recent years she's begun to be valued as a crucial American modernist.

As a sought-after painter of frescoes and the founding president of the Vienna Secession, as the portraitist of fashionable ladies and as an illustrator of unasham…ed eroticism, Klimt was both the enfant terrible and the darling of Viennese society, who created icons of art history with works like The Kiss and his portraits of Adele Bloch-Bauer.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The painter Hermann Stenner (1891-1914) was one of the outstanding talents of the 20th century. It is impressive to note that he achieved his rapid artistic development and distinct pictorial language during just five years of study and creative work. His remarkably extensive oeuvre is bein…g rediscovered today following his death at an early age during the First World War.Stenner was born in Bielefeld and belonged to the circle of Westphalian Expressionists as well as the "Hoelzel Circle". His career began very promisingly. After attending the painting class at the Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart, he transferred to Adolf Hoelzel and became the latter's master student in 1912. The following year Stenner was already participating in important exhibitions in Germany and abroad; his works were shown beside those of artists like Egon Schiele and Max Slevogt. In 1914, only a few months before he died in the war, he executed the cycle of wall paintings in the entrance hall of the Werkbund exhibition in Cologne - now destroyed - together with Oskar Schlemmer and Willi Baumeister.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. At the beginning of the twentieth century, when Alfons Mucha went to the United States for four years as a lecturer, the world-famous poster designer, Art-Nouveau book illustrator, designer, photographer and painter was greeted with enthusiasm. Mucha is regarded as one of the most important… representatives of Jugendstil; he knew how to move between the various genres more skilfully than virtually any other artist of his day.After training as a stage decorator in Vienna, Mucha travelled via Munich to Paris. There he created a stir in the 1890s with his stylistically refined and elegantly executed posters. These designs were not only his artistic breakthrough; they also revolutionised the aesthetic of what was still a new medium. Mucha's later works also demonstrated the inimitable "Mucha style," which celebrated floral elements, lines and beauty and which is lavishly illustrated in this book.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Haus Am Horn, built in 1923 on the occasion of the first Bauhaus exhibition, is the first and only example of Bauhaus architecture in Weimar to have survived. It was with this experimental building that the Bauhaus presented itself to the public for the first time.

From 1924 until well into the 1990s the house was lived in, changed and extended, so that little remains of the interior furnishings.This compact overview publication presents the chequered history of the house, which can be visited and toured as a monument from 2019.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Elegant sailing ships, expansive seascapes, crystal - clear spread - out views of architecture - with his unique pictorial language and range of subjects Lyonel Feininger became one of the most important artists of Classic Modernism, whose works remain very popular to this day.It was in Par…is that Lyonel Feininger (1871 - 1956) abandoned his successful career as a caricaturist and began a life as an independent artist. Initially his pictures are peopled with grotesque, wild, travesty - like figures inspired by the street scenes of Paris. Shortly afterwards he discovered the typical pictorial subjects which would make him world-famous. Seldom has Feininger's artistic development from his early works to his last pictures in the United States been shown with such brilliance. With unpublished photographs and extracts from the unpublished diary of his wife Julia, this artist monograph provides an in-depth insight into the life and work of Feininger and will even surprise those who are familiar with his art.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The youngest member of the Blauer Reiter group was overshadowed for a long time by fellow painters such as Wassily Kandinsky, Franz Marc, August Macke, and Paul Klee. But in recent years, Heinrich Campendonk has enjoyed an unparalleled rediscovery and a new critical assessment of his extens…ive oeuvre.Biermann described Campendonk's early work as a unique symphony of color and rhythm. Just a few years later, his pictures would be defamed as "degenerate," driving him into exile in the Netherlands, where he remained until his death in 1957. In this beautiful volume, the author reveals Campendonk to be one the most fascinating artists of the last century, bringing to life the extraordinary overlap of his artist development with his life and times.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Conrad Felixmueller (1897-1977) is regarded as one of the most important representatives of the Second Generation of German Expressionism. He celebrated initial major successes with his art during the Weimar Republic. This volume illustrates the life and work of this unusual artist, whose c…reative career reflects more than half a century of art and contemporary history.In January 1919 Felixmueller founded the avant-garde Dresdner Sezession Gruppe 1919, whose members also included Otto Dix and Peter August Boeckstiegel as well as other fellow artists. The works from the early 1920s reflect not only his interest in these people but also his political commitment. Under National Socialism Felixmueller's works were proscribed as "degenerate"; after 1945 he endeavoured to continue his work in the GDR, albeit under new auspices. Ten years before his death, Felixmueller moved to West Berlin, where he lived to see the rediscovery of his work.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. "I was thrilled", was Andy Warhol's enthusiastic reaction to the pictures of Florine Stettheimer (1871-1944). Many of the elements of her work inspired his Pop Art. During Stettheimer's life her sensuous and ironic paintings with their numerous figures were valued highly by artists and cura…tors, although the general public remained largely unaware of their merits. Only after her death did her close friend Marcel Duchamp organise a retrospective in the Museum of Modern Art. The art and literature scene of Roaring Twenties New York gathered at Florine Stettheimer's extravagant parties. Surrounded by the cultivated and yet unconventional "Dada flair", the artist staged her pictures as a performance - and was thereby well ahead of her time. As an outstanding painter she was not only at the heart of the American art business, but also attracted attention with her eccentric, subversive and often humorous poems, as well as demonstrating her talent as a stage and costume designer in the theatre. This bibliophile monograph about the multitalented artist is lavishly illustrated and tells a new, exciting history of the modern age through her artworks.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Admired by contemporaries as an artistic "jack - of - all - trades", Koloman Moser (1868 - 1918) is regarded today as one of the most important representatives of the Viennese Secession of around 1900. As a graphic artist and designer Moser was unparalleled in his artistic diversity, creati…ng furniture, textiles, and objects - for the Wiener Werkstaette among others - that are icons of Modernism, as well as leaving behind an impressive oeuvre of paintings. A group of progressive artists, including Koloman M oser, founded "The Association of Visual Artists of Austria, Secession" under the leadership of Gustav Klimt in 1897. Moser in particular is considered the outstanding graphic artist of the Secession, thanks to his design of posters, exhibition concepts, a nd of the journal Ver Sacrum. He was the ideal master for the formation of the Gesamtkunstwerk "Vienna circa 1900", hardly surpassed in imagination and productivity. He applied his incredible virtuosity and inexhaustible fantasy to a variety of materials. In 1903 Moser founded, together with Josef Hoffmann and the industrialist Fritz Waerndorfer, the "Wiener Werkstaette" [Viennese Workshops]. The close cooperation between the designing artists and the master craftsmen allowed a completely new level of qualit y of to be attained in artisan craftwork. After 1907 Koloman Moser concentrated on painting once more. This publication presents exceptional examples of his art, drawn primarily from the Leopold Collection and situating them in a biographical and art histo rical context.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880 - 1938) is one of the most important artist personalities of the twentieth century; many of his works have become icons of Expressionism. Vacillating between self - doubt and egocentricity, the artist created an incomparably mult i - faceted oeuvre with a remarka…ble instinct for the trends and imbalances of his time. Kirchner was the driving force behind and the most radical member of the artists' association "Die Bruecke". He embarked on a promising career which reached a first zeni th in the expressive works of his Berlin years. His ecstatic creative impulse was the result of one of the "loneliest times of my life, in which an agonising restlessness constantly drove me out by night and day." Even after Kirchner had found a new home i n Davos in 1917, his life continued to be full of tension and marked by phases of mental instability and unbroken creative energy. Anxious to ensure the correct reception of his works, during these years Kirchner invented the art critic Louis de Marsalle a nd published reviews of his own works under this pseudonym. This colourful and fascinating artist personality is presented by Thorsten Sadowsky, the author of this volume, in a knowledgeable and lucid manner through examples of his works and the stations of his life A colourful and fascinating artist personality is presented by Thorsten Sadowsky, the author of this volume, in a knowledgeable and lucid manner through examples of his works and the stations of his life.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Life and work of the artist and style icon Frida Kahlo in a compact overview.Frida Kahlo has become an icon of art with her powerfully expressive work. Her pictures not only reflect a view of herself, her fears, the biography of her illness, her passions and her joie de vivre; they also tak…e up subjects which were regarded by society as taboo. As a pioneer of the feminist movement, this Mexican artist serves women the world over as a figure of identification.Pride and strength, vulnerability and bitterness all lie close to each other in Frida Kahlo's art. Her self-portraits, which make up the principal part of her work, not infrequently show a charismatic woman dressed in traditional Tehuana costume, which the artist wore as a visible sign of her culture and her Mexican roots, but also to hide her wounds. Kahlo's biography had a direct influence on her subjects: her not uncomplicated marriage to the artist Diego Rivera, her tragic accident, and her childlessness, loneliness and grief.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Marianne von Werefkin was not only a talented artist but also a shrewd free thinker and hostess: at the beginning of the twentieth century famous artists including Wassily Kandinsky, Gabriele Muenter, Alfred Kubin, Adolf Erbsloeh, Erma Bossi, Franz Marc and August Macke assembled in Mariann…e von Werefkin's salon in the Schwabing district of Munich.After a long break from painting in order to further her companion Alexej Jawlensky, Werefkin returned to her own art in 1906 and created fascinating works in a new, expressive style. Descended from a family of Russian aristocrats, the artist was an important forerunner and co-founder of the "Neue Kuenstlervereinigung Muenchen" (Munich New Artist's Association), from which the "Blauer Reiter" developed. In addition to the artist's early works from Russia and the Expressionist pictures which resulted from her sojourns in the region around Murnau, the Werefkin specialist Brigitte Salmen presents an appreciation of the artist's later work, which is less well known and which was created in Ascona, where she lived in exile in Switzerland.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Paul Rotterdam is an Austrian artist and associate professor at the Visual Art Center at Harvard University and at the Cooper Union School of Art in New York City. This volume publishes his writings, combining scholarly comprehension and hands-on artistic experience. It shows Rotterdam to b…e a shrewd observer of contemporary and historic issues. This book features interviews, essays and lectures about topics such as Realism and Abstraction, art and nature, beauty and myth. Rotterdam's texts often question the conditions for progress in art and make a case for the necessity of the artist's preoccupation with past traditions. In so doing, they astutely challenge new ways of seeing art and the world. Born in Austria in 1939, Rotterdam has lived and worked in the United States since 1968. He is a highly renowned abstract painter whose works are shown in numerous international museums. As one of the most influential art specialists of his generation, he lectures on drawing and 20th century art.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. His paintbrush set everything in motion: the landscape of Provence, the colourful still lifes, his portraits and the picturesque coast of southern France. More than any other artist, Paul Cezanne, the "Father of Modernism", captured the light and the play of colours of the South in his pict…ures and lent them through his new pictorial language a liveliness and dynamism which continue to fascinate viewers to this day.Paul Cezanne (1839 - 1906) painted the Montagne Sainte-Victoire, a rocky massif near his birthplace Aix-en-Provence, some 80 times. The artist translated the interplay of sunlight and shadow on the constantly changing stone into pictures on the threshold of abstraction. Today they are seen as icons of art history and they underline Cezanne's reputation as one of the most important pioneers of Classical Modernism. Countless artists, including Matisse, Derain, Picasso, Braque and Leger found inspiration in Cezanne's ideas on colour modulation and pictorial composition. In this publication the author Christoph Wagner positions Cezanne as an artistic genius who opened up for future generations a completely new view of the world through his paintings and watercolours.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. When the State Bauhaus opened in Weimar in 1918, the Swiss artist and art theorist Johannes Itten (1888 - 1967) was one of the first teachers to be appointed by Walter Gropius. With his preliminary course, Itten had a considerable effect on the creative training in the Bauhaus; to this day…his insights into the theory of colours set standards in art education and in the field of design. Enquiring mind and lecturer, painter and art teacher - Johannes Itten was a very thoughtful artist personality which was reflected in numerous theoretical texts and artworks covering a wide range of styles. Constantly in dialogue with students and colleagues as well as in a study of other cultures and artistic ideas, Itten created works in which he examined colours, their aura, contrasts and forms. Inspired by Adolf Hoelzel, his teacher at the Stuttgart Academy, Itten developed, amongst other things, the famous doctrine of colour types whose significance extends far beyond the realms of art into everyday culture. The acknowledged Itten expert Christoph Wagner introduces the artist with his complex and symbolic work and traces an arc from the revolutionary Bauhaus teacher and founder of various art schools to the art theorist of the theory of colours.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Laszlo Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946), painter, photographer, Bauhaus teacher and founder of the "New Bauhaus" and the "School of Design" in Chicago, is one of the most important artist personalities of the modern age. As one of the first artists to work in multiple media, who practised painting,…sculp-ture, photography, film and design as equally valid art genres, he set stan-dards which are still relevant today.Appointed to the Bauhaus in Weimar by Walter Gropius in 1923, Moholy- Nagy also followed him to Dessau before leaving Nazi Germany in 1933, eventually finding a second home in Chicago in 1937. Both as a teacher and an artist he pursued his revolutionary vision of uniting art and life in order to permit artistic activities to flow over into everyday life. Moholy- Nagy made an important contribution in particular in the recognition of photography, which as a new medium had hitherto not been regarded as art. This volume provides excellent insight into the life and work of the avant-garde artist. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
