Book Synopsis Reviewing the Past by : Zoltán Somhegyi
Download or read book Reviewing the Past written by Zoltán Somhegyi and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though constantly in decay, ruins continue to fascinate the observer. Their still-standing survival is a loud affirmation of their presence, in which we can admire the struggle against the power of Nature aesthetically manifested during the decay. This volume takes a thematic approach to examining the aesthetics of ruins. It looks at the general aspects of architectural decay and its classical forms of admiration and then turns towards ruins from both classical and contemporary periods, from both Western and non-Western areas, and with examples from “high art” as well as popular culture. Combining the methodologies of art history, aesthetics and cultural history, this book opens up new ways of looking at the phenomenon of ruins.
Book Synopsis Under the open sky by : Sarah Louisa Henn
Download or read book Under the open sky written by Sarah Louisa Henn and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Wassily Kandinsky and Gabriele Münter--we know them as leading figures of the Blue Rider. Yet the two were close collaborators for years before the artists' group was founded. The exhibition undertakes a pioneering reconstruction of their itinerant life between 1902 and 1908. The pair traveled widely and light, working under the open sky to create paintings in small formats and photographs. Oil sketches produced right in front of the motifs and photographs show scenes and sceneries in and around Kallmünz, Rotterdam, Tunis, Rapallo, Paris, and other destinations. Among these works are oil studies, photographs, and sketchbooks by Gabriele Münter that have never been on display in an exhibition. Letting us observe the two partners' unusually close shared engagement with the same motifs and creative techniques, they also illustrate how each developed his or her own and personal perspective on the settings in which they found themselves. Having enrolled at the Phalanx art school in Munich in 1901, Münter took up an invitation from Kandinsky, who taught there, to join his class on a work retreat in Kochel in the summer of 1902. Carrying cameras, palettes, small pasteboards, folding easels, and resealable paint tubes, they got on their bicycles and explored the landscapes along the edge of the Bavarian Alps. They spent a second summer with Kandinsky's painting class in Kallmünz the following year--this time as a couple. Here they fell into a form of working in tandem that they would continue on their travels during the next several years and that left a clearly recognizable imprint on their art. They approached the same motif sampling different techniques, used photographs captured along the way as sources of inspiration for drawings, woodcuts, and paintings, and discussed the innovative ideas that each was developing. From 1904 until 1908, the couple was mostly on the road. Mobility was the defining characteristic of their private life as well as their work on their art, in which they dedicated themselves to the landscapes and architectures of their travel destinations. Whether in Germany or the Netherlands, in Italy or Tunisia, they followed the itineraries recommended in the guidebooks of the time and selected destinations that had long been popular with tourists. Their technique evinces the influence of Impressionism: rarely using the brush, they applied virtually unmixed paints with the palette knife. The formats are small and intimate, with a focus on the handling of color. Unaffected by social realities, they sought to render the surfaces of the world around them as it presented itself to the eye. Besides the oil sketches, they gathered a great number of photographs, the majority taken by Münter, who never went out without her Kodak roll-film camera. Suggesting the painter's keen eye for composition, these pictures possess a striking quality that, for today's beholder, lends them genuinely artistic value in addition to their function as private documentation. Similarities as well as differences between the photographic and painted pictures speak to the questions that drove the two artists' shared quest for a modernist idiom, a contemporary pictorial aesthetic. It led them to reject academic convention and embrace the Impressionist model--in Kallmünz no less than in Carthage. Their wanderings came to a close after four years abroad including, in 1906-1907, an entire year in Paris; back in Germany, they spent the winter in Berlin and the spring in South Tyrol before deciding, in the early summer of 1908, to abandon the restless and rather lonely life on the road and settle down in Munich for good. Their return marks the end of the exhibition, which draws attention to the creative symbiosis between Kandinsky and Münter in the early years of their relationship between 1902 and 1908. Curated by Sarah Louisa Henn and Matthias Mühling" -- Museum's website.
Download or read book Landscapes written by Émile Michel and published by Parkstone International. This book was released on 2023-12-28 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although considered a minor genre for a long time, the art of landscape has risen above its forebears - religious and historic painting - to become a genre of its own. Giorgione in Italy, the Brueghels of the Flemish School, Claude Lorrain and Poussain of the French School, the Dutch landscape painters and Turner and Constable of England are just a few of the great landscapists who have left their indelible mark on the history of landscape and the art of painting as a whole. After serving for a long time as a backdrop for paintings and as a skill-practising exercise for artists, nature came to be observed for its own sake and was incorporated into works of art as an illustration of an enlightened and scientific study of the world. Through continual change, it has inspired the greatest painters and has allowed some others, like Turner, to transcend the relentless search for mere realism in pictorial representation. Through this study, Émile Michel offers an exceptional panorama, from the 15th century to the present, of art and the way artists portray the world in all its splendour.

Book Synopsis Wassily Kandinsky and artworks by : Mikhaïl Guerman
Download or read book Wassily Kandinsky and artworks written by Mikhaïl Guerman and published by Parkstone International. This book was released on 2023-11-16 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944) was a Russian painter credited as being among the first to truly venture into abstract art. He persisted in expressing his internal world of abstraction despite negative criticism from his peers. He veered away from painting that could be viewed as representational in order to express his emotions, leading to his unique use of colour and form. Although his works received heavy censure at the time, in later years they would become greatly influential.

Book Synopsis The Abstraction of Landscape by : Fundación Juan March

Book excerpt: Inspired by the famous book by Robert Rosenblum, Modern Painting and the Northern Romantic Tradition. From Friedrich to Rothko (1975), the exhibition aims to demonstrate the pictorial, aesthetic and historical-cultural connection between the northern European tradition - particularly early Romantic landscape painting - and modern European and American abstraction. It reveals a fascinating "birth of abstraction out of the spirit of Romantic landscape". Following in the tradition of numerous earlier exhibitions on Romanticism and landscape painting, the present one departs from this argument to connect almost two centuries of art history.
