Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2022 im Fachbereich Medien / Kommunikation - Mediengeschichte, Note: 1,7, Universität Hildesheim (Stiftung), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die vorliegende Hausarbeit erzählt von der Geschichte der Leica-Kamera, von 1913 bis heute. Geschichte und Technologie sind normalerweise keine Begriffe, die parallel gedacht werden, sondern in der Vorstellung eher diametral verlaufen – die Geschichte weist in die Vergangenheit, der technologische Fortschritt in die Zukunft. Doch die Kameras des deutschen Unternehmens Leica verbinden eine lange Tradition mit den Innovationen des 20. Jahrhunderts und sind seit einem Jahrhundert Pionierprodukte der Fotografie, die mittlerweile klassisches Design mit Imagestrategien des 21. Jahrhunderts koppeln. Bereits 1913 revolutionierte der Optik-Ingenieur Oskar Barnack die Welt der Fotografie, als er den Prototyp der ersten 35-mm-Kamera für den Massenmarkt entwickelte. Heute, mehr ein Jahrhundert später, gelten die Nachfolgermodelle der ursprünglichen Leica als Inbegriff stilvoller Fotoausrüstung.

Download or read book Painting in Tempera C 1900 written by Karoline Beltinger and published by Archetype Publications. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This co- publication of Archetype Publications Ltd with Schweizerisches Institut für Kunstwissenschaft (SIK-ISEA) is a collection of essays by an international group of scholars which provides access to an important chapter of technical art history: the rise in the popularity of temperas as an alternative to oil paints in Europe in the 19th and early 20th century. The term 'tempera' designated media that were generally water-soluble and which could include components as wide ranging as egg, gums, glues, soaps, waxes and resins. Revered as the technique of the ancients, it possessed both historical cachet and aesthetic and practical advantages, such as luminosity of colour, short drying times, and resistance to yellowing and cracking. Although interest in tempera paints was not limited to any one country, their industrial manufacture was concentrated in the region of present-day Germany, while in Italy a distinct tradition of artisanal production evolved. Developments in these two regions are surveyed, lending insight into the academic polemics surrounding temperas, the varied range of products on the market, their composition and their use by specific artists for easel paintings, murals and decorative schemes alike. Based upon source material, conservation research and technical studies of paintings as well as scientific approaches to the analysis of historical temperas, a vivid depiction of this complex artistic period emerges.

Download or read book The German from Bayencourt written by Adam Kuckhoff and published by . This book was released on 2014-04 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first English translation of a cleverly subversive, classic war novel capturing one man's struggle, caught between two nations in war-torn Germany Bernhard Sommer, a German with French citizenship, lives a peaceful life in a northeastern corner of his adopted country. But his rural idyll is shattered when war breaks out between Germany and the entente powers, and the Somme valley becomes the focus of the most furious conflict the world has ever known. Although in no way ostracized or mistreated by his neighbors, Sommer finds himself increasingly conflicted—and when the front line shifts and German soldiers are stranded behind allied lines, he must decide where his loyalties truly lie.Written in Germany just two years before World War II, this book was a timely examination of nationalism and a subversion of the supposed heroic nature of warfare. Its author, obliged to pay lip service to the bellicose stance of the Nazi regime, expertly wove superficial propaganda with subtle critical allusion and satire. A warning against the dangers of chauvinism and the importance of reconciliation, it remains as relevant today as it was in 1937.
Download or read book Red Orchestra written by Anne Nelson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-08-24 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years, the history of the anti-Nazi resistance in Germany was hidden and distorted by Cold War politics. Providing a much-needed corrective, Red Orchestra presents the dramatic story of a circle of German citizens who opposed Hitler from the start, choosing to stay in Germany to resist Nazism and help its victims. The book shines a light on this critical movement which was made up of academics, theatre people, and factory workers; Protestants, Catholics and Jews; around 150 Germans all told and from all walks of life. Drawing on archives, memoirs, and interviews with survivors, award-winning scholar and journalist Anne Nelson presents a compelling portrait of the men and women involved, and the terrifying day-to-day decisions in their lives, from the Nazi takeover in 1933 to their Gestapo arrest in 1942. Nelson traces the story of the Red Orchestra (Rote Kapelle) resistance movement within the context of German history, showing the stages of the Nazi movement and regime from the 1920s to the end of the Second World War. She also constructs the narrative around the life of Greta Kuckhoff and other female figures whose role in the anti-Nazi resistance fight is too-often unrecognised or under appreciated. This revised edition includes: * A new introduction which explores elements of the Red Orchestra's experience that resonate with our times, including: the impact of new media technologies; the dangers of political polarization; and the way the judiciary can be shaped to further the ends of autocracy. The introduction will also address the long-standing misconception that the German Resistance only took action when it was clear that Germany was losing the war. * Historiographic updates throughout the book which take account of recent literature and additional archival sources

Download or read book Rodin Arp written by Raphaël Bouvier and published by Hatje Cantz. This book was released on 2021-03-09 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Affinities and contrasts in the work of two icons of modern sculpture In terms of modern sculpture, there are few artists who can claim the same level of influence as Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) and Hans "Jean" Arp (1886-1966). Rodin's naturalistic rather than decorative approach to sculpture revolutionized the field in the late 19th century, while Arp prompted another wave of experimentation in the early 1900s with his abstract sculpture. In this volume, the oeuvres of both pioneers are placed in conversation with one another to demonstrate their artistic affinities as well as their creative contrasts. As Rodin moved away from the preeminent trends of mythological allegory in order to focus on the organic elegance of the human figure, he eventually approached an Impressionistic style. Arp, as an early member of the Dadaist movement, reinterpreted many of the trends brought forth by Rodin, emphasizing abstraction as a means for conveying pathos. This publication allows readers to appreciate the evolution of both artists individually and in the context of art history as a whole: as sculptural milestones, the creations of Rodin and Arp provide a vivid illustration of fundamental developments in modern sculpture stylistically and ideologically. Curator Raphaël Bouvier provides textual insight along with several other acclaimed art scholars, including Catherine Chevillot, Director of the Musée Rodin.

Download or read book The Color Revolution written by Regina Lee Blaszczyk and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2012-08-31 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of color and commerce from haute couture to automobile showrooms to interior design. When the fashion industry declares that lime green is the new black, or instructs us to “think pink!,” it is not the result of a backroom deal forged by a secretive cabal of fashion journalists, designers, manufacturers, and the editor of Vogue. It is the latest development of a color revolution that has been unfolding for more than a century. In this book, the award-winning historian Regina Lee Blaszczyk traces the relationship of color and commerce, from haute couture to automobile showrooms to interior design, describing the often unrecognized role of the color profession in consumer culture. Blaszczyk examines the evolution of the color profession from 1850 to 1970, telling the stories of innovators who managed the color cornucopia that modern artificial dyes and pigments made possible. These “color stylists,” “color forecasters,” and “color engineers” helped corporations understand the art of illusion and the psychology of color. Blaszczyk describes the strategic burst of color that took place in the 1920s, when General Motors introduced a bright blue sedan to compete with Ford's all-black Model T and when housewares became available in a range of brilliant hues. She explains the process of color forecasting—not a conspiracy to manipulate hapless consumers but a careful reading of cultural trends and consumer taste. And she shows how color information flowed from the fashion houses of Paris to textile mills in New Jersey. Today professional colorists are part of design management teams at such global corporations as Hilton, Disney, and Toyota. The Color Revolution tells the history of how colorists help industry capture the hearts and dollars of consumers.
