Download or read book A Bauhausler in Canada written by Oliver Arpad Istvan Botar and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Andor Weininger (1899-1986) was a founder and member of the Bauhaus where he produced a fascinating body of work, mostly related to the avant-garde stage, attaining his greatest success with the Mechanical Stage-Review, a kind of moving abstract painting. Fleeing the National Socialists, Weininger emigrated to Canada where, in the 1950s, he produced a remarkably eclectic body of work, ranging from sketches of Lake Ontario to free, calligraphic abstract works. Yet his correspondence with Bauhaus figures such as Walter Gropius and Xanti Schawinsky reveals a frustration with the conservative cultural scene. Produced upon the occasion of a gift of over 150 works from New York's Weininger Foundation to several Canadian art institutions, this publication takes a close look at Weininger in Canada, situating the career of this significant European Modernist within the context of the emergent Canadian abstract art scene. Weininger's work can be found in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Busch-Reisinger Museum at Harvard University, and in many European collections. Published with Gallery One One One, University of Manitoba." --Book Jacket.

Download or read book The Exile and Return of Writers from East Central Europe written by John Neubauer and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2009 with total page 641 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comparative study of literature written by writers who fled from East-Central Europe during the twentieth century. It includes not only interpretations of individual lives and literary works, but also studies of the most important literary journals, publishers, radio programs, and other aspects of exile literary cultures. The theoretical part of introduction distinguishes between exiles, émigrés, and expatriates, while the historical part surveys the pre-twentieth-century exile traditions and provides an overview of the exilic events between 1919 and 1995; one section is devoted to exile cultures in Paris, London, and New York, as well as in Moscow, Madrid, Toronto, Buenos Aires and other cities. The studies focus on the factional divisions within each national exile culture and on the relationship between the various exiled national cultures among each other. They also investigate the relation of each exile national culture to the culture of its host country. Individual essays are devoted to Witold Gombrowicz, Paul Goma, Milan Kundera, Monica Lovincescu, Milos Crnjanski, Herta Müller, and to the "internal exile" of Imre Kertész. Special attention is devoted to the new forms of exile that emerged during the ex-Yugoslav wars, and to the problems of "homecoming" of exiled texts and writers.
Download or read book Bauhaus written by Michael Siebenbrodt and published by Parkstone International. This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bauhaus movement (meaning the “house of building”) developed in three German cities - it began in Weimar between 1919 and 1925, then continued in Dessau, from 1925 to 1932, and finally ended in 1932-1933 in Berlin. Three leaders presided over the growth of the movement: Walter Gropius, from 1919 to 1928, Hannes Meyer, from 1928 to 1930, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, from 1930 to 1933. Founded by Gropius in the rather conservative city of Weimar, the new capital of Germany, which had just been defeated by the other European nations in the First World War, the movement became a flamboyant response to this humiliation. Combining new styles in architecture, design, and painting, the Bauhaus aspired to be an expression of a generational utopia, striving to free artists facing a society that remained conservative in spite of the revolutionary efforts of the post-war period. Using the most modern materials, the Bauhaus was born out of the precepts of William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement, introducing new forms, inspired by the most ordinary of objects, into everyday life. The shuttering of the center in Berlin by the Nazis in 1933 did not put an end to the movement, since many of its members chose the path of exile and established themselves in the United States. Although they all went in different directions artistically, their work shared the same origin. The most influential among the Bauhaus artists were Anni Albers, Josef Albers, Marianne Brandt, Marcel Breuer, Lyonel Feininger, Ludwig Hilberseimer, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandisky, and Lothar Schreyer. Through a series of beautiful reproductions, this work provides an overview of the Bauhaus era, including the history, influence, and major figures of this revolutionary movement, which turned everyday life into art.
Download or read book Thinking Color in Space written by Kerstin Schultz and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2018-12-03 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interaction between color and architecture determines our perception of space, and defines the tectonic relationships. The fascinating spatial potential of color, and the multi-layered dimensions of interpretation in the experience of color are design and communication means which, however, are often not fully used – color oscillates between autonomy and functional purpose, and should be understood as a distinct "material" that can be used as part of the design. The book focuses both on the tangible aspects and design criteria of color, and on its indeterminate nature and its experience value. Using examples in art and architecture, the spatial interdependency of color is illustrated, as is its interaction with structure, light, and geometry.

Download or read book Carmen Herrera written by Dana Miller and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'artiste native de Cuba Carmen Herrera (née en 1915) peint depuis plus de sept décennies, mais ce n'est que ces dernières années que la reconnaissance pour son travail a projeté l'artiste vers la notoriété internationale. Ce beau volume offre le premier examen soutenu d'elle, depuis le début de sa carrière en 1948 jusqu'en 1978, et s'étend sur les mondes de l'art de La Havane, de Paris et de New York. Les essais considèrent les premières études de l'artiste à Cuba, son implication dans le Salon des Réalités Nouvelles dans le Paris d'après-guerre et sa sortie révolutionnaire de New York. Puis l'ouvrage situe son travail dans le contexte d'un art d'avant-garde latino-américain plus large. Un essai de Dana Miller considère le travail de New York d'Herrera depuis les années 1950 jusque dans les années 1970, lorsque Herrera arrivait et perfectionnait son style de signature. Des photographies familiales personnelles des archives de Herrera enrichissent le récit, et une chronologie traitant de l'intégralité de sa vie et de sa carrière présente des images documentaires supplémentaires. Plus de quatre-vingts œuvres sont illustrées sous forme de plaques de couleur. Ce livre est la représentation la plus étendue des travaux de Herrera à ce jour. (d'après l'éditeur).
