Download or read book German Expressionist Painting written by Peter Selz and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-04-28 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1957, German Expressionist Painting was the first comprehensive study of one of the most pivotal movements in the art of this century. When it was written, however, German Expressionism seemed like an eccentric manifestation far removed from what was then considered the mainstream of modern art. But as historians well know, each generation alters the concept of mainstream to encompass those aspects of the past which seem most relevant to the present. The impact of German Expressionism on the art and thought of later generations could never have been anticipated at the time of the original writing of this book. During the subsequent years an enormous body of scholarly research and an even larger number of popular books on German expressionist art has been printed. Numerous monographs and detailed studies on most of the artists exist now and countless exhibitions with accompanying catalogues have taken place. Much of this new research could have been incorporated in a revised edition and the bibliography certainly could have been greatly expanded to include the important writings which have been published in Germany, the United States and elsewhere since this book was originally issued. The author, however, was faced with the choice of reprinting the original text with only the most necessary alterations-such as updating the captions to indicate present locations of the paintings-or the preparation of a revised text and bibliography. Desirable as a revision appeared, present printing costs would have priced the paperback out of reach for students. It is for this reason that I decided to reissue the original text which stands on its own as a primary investigation of German Expressionist Painting.

Download or read book German Expressionist Paintings and Education written by Haim Gordon and published by Waxmann Verlag. This book was released on 2009 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has two aims. The first aim is a modest attempt to help to overcome the neglect to which German expressionist paintings have been condemned by historians and art critics. The second aim is more difficult from an educational perspective. The book points out that a moving beauty and worthy truths call out from many German expressionist paintings. At times, this beauty and these truths may be comprehended straightforwardly. To complement the direct encounter with these paintings, the book suggests learning from concepts, ideas, and insights presented by existentialist philosophers. The book shows that these concepts, ideas, and insights can assist in harkening to the call of beauty and truth that calls out from the paintings of the six German expressionist painters which are discussed here: Max Beckmann, Otto Dix, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Otto Mueller, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, and Erich Heckel. Thus, they can assist the educator in showing the grandeur of the works of the six painters. The book points to the educational value of the personal and existential encounter with the beauty and truths that call out from the paintings of these artists. Haim Gordon is professor emeritus at Ben Gurion University of the Negev in Israel. He has published, at times in collaboration with colleagues, 26 books and more than 150 papers in professional journals and books on philosophical, educational and political topics. He resides with his wife in Eilat, Israel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Max Beckmann, Otto Dix, George Grosz, Emil Nolde, E.L.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the period in which Expressionist artists were active in central Europe, art historians were producing texts which also began to be characterized evocatively as ?expressionist?, yet the notion of an expressionist art history has yet to be fully explored in historiographic studies of the discipline. This anthology offers a cross-section of noteworthy art history texts that have been described as expressionist, along with critical commentaries by an international group of scholars.

Download or read book Alan Pearson written by Alison Pearson and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty years of portraits, painted and drawn, are gathered together in Alan Pearson: Expressionist Portraits. Designed by the artist himself, this large format hardback book is visually exciting and unites high quality images with incisive interpretations by the author and other guest writers.The images represented in this book were created in New Zealand, Australia, England, and Italy; gathered from public galleries, private collectors and the artist's collection; the portraits chart the development of Alan Pearson's ever-developing expressionist style, from studying fine arts at Canterbury University in 1957, to his current works in Australia in his 80th year Amongst the penetrating psychological profiles of his other subjects the highly acclaimed selfportraits form a substantial core of the book, charting the artist's progress autobiographically.Alison Pearson, the artist's partner since 1976, focuses on the stories inherent in a portrait, and the arc of the artist's story bound up in each work. An analysis of location, technique and subject is presented in chronological sequence, allowing the narrative to flow naturally.Entwined with the main text are supplements from contributing writers (including Margaret Hudson-Ware and Laurence Fearnley) focusing on the experience of being a portrait subject.Poems by Zoltan Endre and Barry Southam explore their personal reactions to particular portraits and Alan Pearson's own poems reinforce the understanding of mood and character. Others who have had a close association with the artist (eg. Neil Roberts, Tim Garrity, and Richard Wolfe) appraise individual paintings. Short essays by Alan's biographer, Denys Trussell and by T.L. Rodney Wilson describe the artist's modus operandi and place in the art historical canon.Vibrant and readable, this book appeals to all readers, to those interested in contemporary art and in the human condition.
