Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book delves into the concepts of general and spatial semiotics, discussing the differences and interactions between semiotic means of diverse types and levels. It introduces an integrative model (“the sign prism”) which unites many famous schemes of sign connection. It considers the human as a being included in a self-created semiosphere of signs and interacting with a sphere of natural signals and indexes available also to animals. The majority of the text is devoted to spatial semiotics, and its distinctions from temporal ways of sign connection. Its specific categories and particular visual-spatial codes are considered here as the peculiar means of communication and thinking. An essential feature of the book is the application of the author’s concepts of spatial semiotics to research of structures and the historical changes of visual arts.

Download or read book One Less Hope written by Constantin V. Ponomareff and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays, which should appeal both to Slavists and students of comparative literature, deals with twelve major twentieth-century Russian poets who, for varied reasons, became estranged from the Soviet state. Some stayed in Russia to become inner émigrés, others chose to go into exile in the West. One less hope, one more song (Akhmatova’s words), stands both for their suffering and often their deaths, but also for their humanity and poetic achievement. The poets in question are Anna Akhmatova, Osip Mandelshtam, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Alexander Blok, Sergey Esenin, Nikolay Gumilev, Vyacheslav Ivanov, Marina Tsvetaeva, Vladislav Khodasevich, Boris Poplavsky, Boris Pasternak and Joseph Brodsky. The whole collection is followed by a cultural perspective of the Russian 19th and 20th centuries.

This book was released on 1987 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book examines two centuries of Russian literary development and studies in major writers of the time the consequences of the clash between two irreconcilable cultures, the politically despotic Russian and the humanistic European. The author holds that the spiritual and creative results of this inner rift led from moral ambivalence to despair and ultimately to a nihilist vision of reality.
Download or read book Constructing Modernity written by Martin Hammer and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Naum Gabo (1890-1977), whose eventful life took him from his native Russia to Berlin, Paris, London, and finally the United States, achieved renown as one of the most inventive and controversial figures in twentieth-century sculpture. This book is the first comprehensive account of Gabo's life, career, and artistic theory and practice. Martin Hammer and Christina Lodder explore in detail the evolution of the artist's work and his aesthetic concerns, creative processes, assimilation of such new materials as plastic, and approach to public sculpture. The authors also examine his response to the scientific and political revolutions of his age and trace the origins and development of Gabo's utopian conviction that Constructivist art was profoundly in tune with modernity, social progress, and advances in science and technology. Drawing on Gabo's extensive and largely unpublished archives of letters, diaries, notebooks, models, and sketchbooks, Hammer and Lodder discuss the sculptor's work in the context of his relations with other avant-garde artists, architects, and critics, including his brother Antoine Pevsner. They also situate his aesthetic theory and practice within the Constructi

Download or read book Culture and Legacy of the Russian Revolution written by Christopher Balme and published by Frank & Timme GmbH. This book was released on 2020-12-11 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Russian Revolution of October 1917 was an event of global significance. Despite this fact, public attention and even research mostly focused on Russia and the other states that became part of USSR for many decades. The impact of these dramatic events on other parts of the world was neglected or not systematically explored until recently. And in analyzing the events, political history still dominates the field. This volume, which is largely based on papers presented at the third annual conference of the Graduate School for East and Southeast European Studies, adds to this image some valuable perspectives by exploring the culture as well as the political and cultural legacy of the Russian Revolution. Three focal points are taken here: the revolution’s rhetoric and performance, its religious semantics, and its impact on Asia.
Download or read book Falling stars written by Peter Thurmann and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Kunsthalle zu Kiel präsentiert anlässlich des Gedenkjahres zum Beginn des ersten Weltkriegs mit der Ausstellung 'Sterne fallen' einen einzigartigen Querschnitt durch die Vorkriegsmoderne in Deutschland und Europa. Sterne fallen widmet sich Künstlern, deren Leben und damit auch Schaffenszeit durch den Krieg und deren Begleitumstände wie die Spanische Grippe und Suizid jäh beendet wurde. Der Titel der Schau zitiert den expressionistischen Dichter August Stramm, der sein Gedicht „Wunde“ im ersten Weltkrieg verfasste und diesem ebenfalls zum Opfer fiel.0In der Präsentation sind Werke von 60 Künstlern und Künstlerinnen aus 12 europäischen Nationen zu sehen, von denen einige Namen in Deutschland und international im Gedächtnis geblieben sind. Dazu zählen Franz Marc und August Macke, Albert Weisgerber und Umberto Boccioni. Die Werke vieler weiterer Künstler sind gar nicht erst oder nur spärlich in öffentliche Sammlungen gelangt und finden in dieser Ausstellung erstmals ein öffentliches Forum. Sterne fallen fächert ein breites Spektrum unterschiedlichster Stilrichtungen in einer Zeit einschneidender politischer und künstlerischer Umwälzungen auf. Es werden Gemälde, Grafiken und Skulpturen von meist jungen Talenten zu sehen sein, von denen viele kaum Gelegenheit hatten, ihr Werk reifen zu lassen. Die Ausstellung spürt damit auch der Frage nach, inwiefern diese Zäsur Auswirkungen auf die gesamte Klassische Moderne genommen hat. 00Exhibition: Kunsthalle Kiel, Germany (11.10.2014-08.02.2015).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents the first attempt to analyze the development of the St. Petersburg avant-garde between 1910 and 1914, with special reference to the art society, The Union of Youth (Soyuz Molodyozhi). This group of artists played a fundamental role in the establishment of an artistic ambience particular to Petersburg. This ambience is shown to involve an approach that was characterized by its retention of "idealistic" and "realistic" symbolism within a variety of modern styles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking book explores the Russian avant-garde during the early post-revolutionary years of 1918-1922 and brings together the works of three of its most influential artists. When Marc Chagall took over the People's School of Art in his hometown of Vitebsk in 1919, he had already established himself as an avant-garde artist. For the next few years, Chagall established the once-sleepy Belarusian town as a hub of revolutionary art making. Along with Kazimir Malevitch and El Lissitzky, Chagall presided over a flowering of creativity and artistic energy that became a focal point of Russian modernism. This volume features 250 works and documentary items from Vitebsk, bringing to life a little-known chapter in the history of art. Every aspect of this brief but decisive period is examined here, from Chagall's notion of proletariat art to the birth of the UNOVIS group and its trailblazing expositions. Correspondence among Chagall, Malevitch, and Lissitzky are featured alongside important works from all three artists as well as art from their colleagues and students. The result is a multifaceted portrait of a unique collaboration that forged a new path for artistic expression which extended far beyond the boundaries of Vitebsk.
