Book excerpt: In April 1892 the first art Secession in the German-speaking countries came into being in Munich, Central Europe's undisputed capital of the visual arts. Featuring the work of German painters, sculptors, and designers, as well as that of vanguard artists from around the world, the Munich Secession was a progressive force in the German art world for nearly a decade, its exhibitions regularly attended and praised by Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, and other modernists at the outset of their careers. "Those artists who were not included, or who thought themselves inadequately represented in the large official exhibitions held in the major German cities, had economic as well as aesthetic reasons for creating new outlets for their work.... The first of these Secessions [is] the subject of an interesting and well-researched study by Maria Makela."--James Joll, The New York Review of Books "Makela combines aesthetic analysis with institutional history, and does so very well. She has written the first thoroughly documented account of the Munich Secession in any language." --Peter Paret, The Art Bulletin ..".a carefully documented chronicle of the Munich Secession...an indispensable guide. It is a pioneering study that manages to be solid yet provocative..."--Brooks Adams, Art in America

Book Synopsis The Viennese Secession by : Victoria Charles
Download or read book The Viennese Secession written by Victoria Charles and published by Parkstone International. This book was released on 2014-05-10 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A symbol of modernity, the Viennese Secession was defined by the rebellion of twenty artists who were against the conservative Vienna Künstlerhaus' oppressive influence over the city, the epoch, and the whole Austro-Hungarian Empire. Influenced by Art Nouveau, this movement (created in 1897 by Gustav Klimt, Carl Moll, and Josef Hoffmann) was not an anonymous artistic revolution. Defining itself as a “total art”, without any political or commercial constraint, the Viennese Secession represented the ideological turmoil that affected craftsmen, architects, graphic artists, and designers from this period. Turning away from an established art and immersing themselves in organic, voluptuous, and decorative shapes, these artists opened themselves to an evocative, erotic aesthetic that blatantly offended the bourgeoisie of the time. Painting, sculpture, and architecture are addressed by the authors and highlight the diversity and richness of a movement whose motto proclaimed “for each time its art, for each art its liberty” – a declaration to the innovation and originality of this revolutionary art movement.
Book Synopsis Imperial Culture in Germany, 1871-1918 by : Matthew Jefferies
Download or read book Imperial Culture in Germany, 1871-1918 written by Matthew Jefferies and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has often ben suggested that artists and writers in Germany's imperial era shunned social engagement, preferring instead apolitical introspection. However, as Matthew Jefferies reveals, whether one looks at the painters, poets and architects who helped to create an official imperial identity after 1871; the cultural critics and reformers of the later 19th century; or the new generation of cultural producers that emerged in the years around 1900, the social, political and cultural were never far apart. In this attractively illustrated book, Jefferies provides a lively introduction to the principal movements in German high culture between 1871 and 1918, in the context of imperial society and politics. He not only demonstrates that Germany's 'Imperial culture' was every bit as fascinating as the much better known 'Weimar culture' of the 1920s, but argues that much of what came later has origins in the imperial period. Filling a significant gap in the current historiography, this study will appeal to all those with an interest in the rich and diverse culture of Imperial Germany.
Book Synopsis The Visual Arts in Germany, 1890-1937 by : Shearer West
Download or read book The Visual Arts in Germany, 1890-1937 written by Shearer West and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work provides an introduction to the visual arts in Germany from the early years of German unification to World War II. The study is an analysis of painting, sculpture, graphic art, design, film and photography in relation to a wider set of cultural and social issues that were specific to German modernism. It concentrates on the ways in which the production and reception of art interacted with and was affected by responses to unification, conflict between left and right political factions, gender concerns, contemporary philosophical and religious ideas, the growth of cities, and the increasing important of mass culture.
Book Synopsis Marketing Modernism in Fin-de-Siècle Europe by : Robert Jensen
Download or read book Marketing Modernism in Fin-de-Siècle Europe written by Robert Jensen and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fundamental rethinking of the rise of modernism from its beginnings in the Impressionist movement, Robert Jensen reveals that market discourses were pervasive in the ideological defense of modernism from its very inception and that the avant-garde actually thrived on the commercial appeal of anti-commercialism at the turn of the century. The commercial success of modernism, he argues, depended greatly on possession of historical legitimacy. The very development of modern art was inseparable from the commercialism many of its proponents sought to transcend. Here Jensen explores the economic, aesthetic, institutional, and ideological factors that led to its dominance in the international art world by the early 1900s. He emphasizes the role of the emerging dealer/gallery market and of modernist art historiographies in evaluating modern art and legitimizing it through the formation of a canon of modernist masters. In describing the canon-building of modern dealerships, Jensen considers the new "ideological dealer" and explores the commercial construction of artistic identity through such rhetorical concepts as temperament and "independent art" and through such institutional structures as the retrospective. His inquiries into the fate of the juste milieu, a group of dissidents who saw themselves as "true heirs" of Impressionism, and his look at a new form of art history emerging in Germany further expose a linear, dealer- oriented history of modernist art constructed by or through the modernists themselves.

Download or read book Kandinsky's Quest written by Igor Aronov and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2006 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies Vasily Kandinsky's (1866-1944) pre-1908 figurative art that formed the basis for his later abstractions. It analyzes many published and unpublished facts of the artist's life and work and brings together numerous historical comparative data from painting, literature, the social sciences, ethnography, folklore, esthetics, and philosophy. This study penetrates deeply into Kandinsky's inner world and breaks new ground by interpreting the artist's enigmatic early imagery as his personal many-layered symbolism that expresses his complex personality, his internal responses to Russian and Western European life and culture, and his quest for spiritual truths.
Download or read book Secession written by Christine Dixon and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through their daring break from the official academy style and the conservative state-controlled art market of the late 19th century, the Secession movements in Germany and Austria irrevocably changed the ways in which art, design and architecture were conceived and realized in Vienna, Munich and Berlin at the turn of the century. This volume provides a comprehensive introduction to the Secession movements, as well as the applied and fashion design of the Wiener Werkstatte. Like the radical composers and musicians, disturbing philosophers and psychoanalysts, revolutionary writers and scientists of the time, Secession artists were transformers of culture. As such they were of central importance for the development of modern European art and had a crucial influence on subsequent artistic movements and institutions in 20th century Germany, among them Die Brucke, Der Blaue Reiter and the Bauhaus. Color illustrations effectively render the lasting impact of the Secession's bold experiments in artistic style and design.
Book Synopsis The "New Man" in Radical Right Ideology and Practice, 1919-45 by : Jorge Dagnino
Download or read book The "New Man" in Radical Right Ideology and Practice, 1919-45 written by Jorge Dagnino and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together an expert group of established and emerging scholars, this book analyses the pervasive myth of the 'new man' in various fascist movements and far-right regimes between 1919 and 1945. Through a series of ground-breaking case studies focusing on countries in Europe, but with additional chapters on Argentina, Brazil and Japan, The "New Man" in Radical Right Ideology and Practice, 1919-45 argues that what many national forms of far-right politics understood at the time as a so-called 'anthropological revolution' is essential to understanding this ideology's bio-political, often revolutionary dynamics. It explores how these movements promoted the creation of a new, ideal human, what this ideal looked like and what this things tell us about fascism's emergence in the 20th century. The years after World War One saw the rise of regimes and movements professing totalitarian aims. In the case of revolutionary, radical-right movements, these totalising goals extended to changing the very nature of humanity through modern science, propaganda and conquest. At its most extreme, one of the key aims of fascism – the most extreme manifestation of radical right politics between the wars – was to create a 'new man'. Naturally, this manifested itself in different ways in varying national contexts and this volume explores these manifestations in order to better comprehend early 20th-century fascism both within national boundaries and in a broader, transnational context.
