Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Max Klinger (1857-1920) was Germany's most important fin de siècle symbolist, fusing romantic themes with classical imagery in a manner similar to that of his French counterparts Moreau and Redon. In his graphic work he gave a painterly impression to the image by his use of aquatint, achieving effects previously attained only by Goya. Because of his ability to depict dreamlike states with astounding clarity, Klinger was a major influence on such later artists as de Chirico and Dali. Although Klinger was also a painter and sculptor, it is his more than 400 graphic works that constitute his most impressive accomplishment. Most of these are grouped within 14 portfolios, to which he assigned opus numbers, and they are often referred to as his cycles or series. The musical allusion of the word opus is not accidental. Klinger conceived of the series as iconographic symphonies. He was personally associated with the great composers of his time, notably Brahms and Richard Strauss, and he created art projects related to their work (cf. Brahms Fantasies, Opus XII, Singer 183-223). The first edition of Singer's complete catalogue of Klinger's etchings. engravings, and lithographs appeared in 1909, and covered all the works completed or in progress up to 1903, illustrating some 331 works and describing them in all their various states. The original publisher Amsler & Ruthardt of Berlin, has authorized this new edition, which adds a complete English translation as well as several new illustrations.
Download or read book German Modernism written by Walter Frisch and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2005-07-25 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this pioneering, erudite study of a pivotal era in the arts, Walter Frisch examines music and its relationship to early modernism in the Austro-German sphere. Seeking to explore the period on its own terms, Frisch questions the common assumption that works created from the later 1870s through World War I were transitional between late romanticism and high modernism. Drawing on a wide range of examples across different media, he establishes a cultural and intellectual context for late Richard Wagner, Richard Strauss, Gustav Mahler, and Arnold Schoenberg, as well as their less familiar contemporaries Eugen d'Albert, Hans Pfitzner, Max Reger, Max von Schillings, and Franz Schreker. Frisch explores "ambivalent" modernism in the last quarter of the nineteenth century as reflected in the attitudes of, and relationship between, Nietzsche and Wagner. He goes on to examine how naturalism, the first self-conscious movement of German modernism, intersected with musical values and practices of the day. He proposes convergences between music and the visual arts in the works of Brahms, Max Klinger, Schoenberg, and Kandinsky. Frisch also explains how, near the turn of the century, composers drew inspiration and techniques from music of the past—the Renaissance, Bach, Mozart, and Wagner. Finally, he demonstrates how irony became a key strategy in the novels and novellas of Thomas Mann, the symphonies of Mahler, and the operas of Strauss and Hofmannsthal.
Download or read book Max Klinger and Wilhelmine Culture written by Marsha Morton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wilhelmine Empire?s opening decades (1870s - 1880s) were crucial transitional years in the development of German modernism, both politically and culturally. Here Marsha Morton argues that no artist represented the shift from tradition to unsettling innovation more compellingly than Max Klinger. The author examines Klinger?s early prints and drawings within the context of intellectual and material transformations in Wilhelmine society through an interdisciplinary approach that encompasses Darwinism, ethnography, dreams and hypnosis, the literary Romantic grotesque, criminology, and the urban experience. His work, in advance of Expressionism, revealed the psychological and biological underpinnings of modern rational man whose drives and passions undermined bourgeois constructions of material progress, social stability, and class status at a time when Germans were engaged in defining themselves following unification. This book is the first full-length study of Klinger in English and the first to consistently address his art using methodologies adopted from cultural history. With an emphasis on the popular illustrated media, Morton draws upon information from reviews and early books on the artist, writings by Klinger and his colleagues, and unpublished archival sources. The book is intended for an academic readership interested in European art history, social science, literature, and cultural studies.
Download or read book Women Emancipation and the German Novel 1871 1910 written by Charlotte Woodford and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In novels written at the end of the long nineteenth century, women in Germany and Austria engaged with some of the most pressing social questions of the modern age. Charlotte Woodford analyses a wide range of such works, many of them largely forgotten, in the context of the contemporary cultural discourses that informed their creation, such as writings on pacifism and socialism, prostitution, birth control and sexually transmitted diseases. Women's experience of contemporary medicine as patients and doctors is a fascinating theme, treated here by several authors. Through a close reading of works by Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach, Minna Kautsky, Gabriele Reuter, Helene Bohlau, Ilse Frapan, Hedwig Dohm, Lou Andreas-Salome, and others, this study shows how writers' determination to validate women's experience of the problems of modernity informed the aesthetic development of the novel by women."

Download or read book Collecting Prints Posters and Ephemera written by Ruth E. Iskin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2019-12-12 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why did collectors seek out posters and collect ephemera during the late-nineteenth and the twentieth centuries? How have such materials been integrated into institutional collections today? What inspired collectors to build significant holdings of works from cultures other than their own? And what are the issues facing curators and collectors of digital ephemera today? These are among the questions tackled in this volume-the first to examine the practices of collecting prints, posters, and ephemera during the modern and contemporary periods. A wide range of case studies feature collections of printed materials from the United States, Latin America, France, Germany, Great Britain, China, Japan, Russia, Iran, and Cuba. Fourteen essays and one roundtable discussion, all specially commissioned from art historians, curators, and collectors for this volume, explore key issues such as the roles of class, politics, and gender, and address historical contexts, social roles, value, and national and transnational aspects of collecting practices. The global scope highlights cross-cultural connections and contributes to a new understanding of the place of prints, posters and ephemera within an increasingly international art world.
