    Hardback. Condizione: New. They were reviled, ridiculed, and ignored. Today, the Zurich Concretists - along with Dada - are considered the most important art movement originating from Switzerland. Circle! Square! Progress! tells the story of the city's avant-garde movement, which is rooted in the Bauhaus and renewed the formal language of art, shaped design and architecture, and also positioned itself politically. It traces its relations to the heroes of Constructivist-Concrete art, such as Johannes Itten, Piet Mondrian, Sophie Taeuber-Arp, Theo van Doesburg, and Georges Vantongerloo, and looks at the influences that came from graphic art and advertising, jazz music and dance, colour theory, and mathematics.Max Bill, Camille Graeser, Verena Loewensberg, and Richard Paul Lohse - a group incidentally thrown together rather than true conspirators - formed the centre of gravity of a milieu that wrestled with critics, institutions, and authorities. Lavishly illustrated, the book explores Zurich as the habitat of highly gifted people engaged in lively debates at bohemian cafés, drifting in jazz clubs, celebrating excessively at the legendary annual artists' fancy dress ball, achieving fame and artistic triumphs with creative power and a sense of mission. It illuminates the Zurich Concretists' successes of the 1960s, their at times extremely violent quarrels of the 1970s, and their disputes about the beauty of form.…

    Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Amidst the turmoil of World War II, Zurich was an enclave where modern art held its ground. In the aftermath, Concrete Art, design, and the 'Swiss Style' became emblematic of a modern Switzerland. Influenced by De Stijl, Russian Constructivism, and the Bauhaus, the Zurich Concretists aimed to transform society through aesthetics, design, and architecture. Circle! Square! Progress! brings together the main protagonists Max Bill, Camille Graeser, Verena Loewensberg, and Richard Paul Lohse along with precursors such as Sophie Taeuber-Arp, Georges Vantongerloo, Theo van Doesburg, and Anton Stankowski. Contemporary witnesses, artist Peter Fischli and curator Bice Curiger, add their unique perspectives. The volume vividly describes the Zurich Concretist's conections with European avant-garde, delving into the hostilities, scandals, and their ultimately successful struggle for recognition against the backdrop of the 20th century's upheavals.; Konkrete Kunst, Grafik und Design wurden nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg zum Emblem einer modernen Schweiz. Geprägt von de Stijl, russischem Konstruktivismus und dem Bauhaus zielten die Konkreten auf eine Transformation der Gesellschaft durch Ästhetik, Design und Architektur - etwa durch die Hochschule für Gestaltung Ulm. Kreis! Quadrat! Progress! porträtiert die Zürcher Konkreten Max Bill, Camille Graeser, Verena Loewensberg und Richard Paul Lohse und ihr Umfeld sowie ihre Impulsgeber wie Sophie Taeuber-Arp, Georges Vantongerloo, Theo van Doesburg oder Anton Stankowski. Es erzählen Zeitzeugen wie der Künstler Peter Fischli und die Kuratorin Bice Curiger. Lebendig werden Verbindungen zur europäischen Avantgarde ebenso wie die Anfeindungen, die Skandale und die Durchsetzungskämpfe inmitten der Umwälzungen des 20. Jahrhunderts.…
