Book excerpt: "[August Macke and Franz Marc] conducted many long and involved discussions about the goals of art, coming to both similar and different conclusions. These dialogues enabled each of them to stake out his own position and provided the impetus driving their exchange. While Macke's art referred directly to the world he saw around him, his images deriving their authenticity from the sensual presence of that world, Marc sought to arrive at a spiritual understanding of the world and strove to develop art forms that would render visible the unity of being in his pictures. Divided into several sections, the exhibition traces the development of both artists from 1910 onward : from their first encounters in Tegernsee, Sindelsdorf, and later Bonn, to their early preoccupation with the theory of color, their work within the Blue Rider, and their participation in important exhibitions, such as those staged by the Cologne Sonderbund and the Erster Deutscher Herbstsalon. In its portrayal of the journeys they undertook together, their reciprocal visits and gifts, and the execution of arts and crafts works, the exhibition also attests to the key role played in their deepening friendship by the two artists' wives, Elisabeth Macke and Maria Marc. Their bond culminated in 1912 in the mural Paradise, jointly painted in Macke's Bonne studio. The exhibition also shows in some detail how Macke and Marc incorporated the ideas of Fauvism, Cubism, Futurism, and Orphism in their work as well as the positions they adopted on the notion of non-representative art. Out of these influences and ideas each evolved an art of his own, a trajectory that the exhibition documents right up to the final pictures produced in 1914, when the catastrophe of war brought an abrupt end to their lives and work."--Foreword.

Book excerpt: Animal expressions: Franz Marc's search for a universal art Franz Marc (1880-1916) became known principally for his images of animals: blue horses, yellow tigers, red fawns. What was it that led him to concentrate on painting animals? Marc himself explained his choice of subject matter in these words: "From an early date I felt humankind to be 'ugly'; animals seemed to me possessed of a greater beauty and purity..." Seeing Marc merely as a painter of animals proves, however, premature. Marc, cofounder of the Blauer Reiter group of Expressionist artists, was deeply dissatisfied with the impurity of the world, and was on a quest for a universal art which would resolve the contrarieties of life in the harmony of creation. Using pure colors highly charged with symbolic values, adopting crystalline shapes, and absorbing the influence of Cubism, he moved steadily towards an abstract order of image, coming closer to his own understanding of a better world. At the age of 36, Franz Marc's life was cut short when he died in the Battle of Verdun. About the Series: Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Art series features: a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance a concise biography approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marianne Werefkin and the Women Artists in Her Circle traces the relationships between the modernist artists in Werefkin’s circle, including Erma Bossi, Elisabeth Epstein, Natalia Goncharova, Elizaveta Kruglikova, Else Lasker-Schüler, Marta Liepiņa-Skulme, Elena Luksch-Makowsky, and Maria Marc. The book demonstrates that their interactions were dominated not primarily by national ties, but rather by their artistic ideas, intellectual convictions, and gender roles; it offers an analysis of the various artistic scenes, the places of exchange, and the artists’ sources of inspiration. Specifically focusing on issues of cosmopolitan culture, transcultural dialogue, gender roles, and the building of new artistic networks, the collection of essays re-evaluates the contributions of these artists to the development of modern art. Contributors: Shulamith Behr, Marina Dmitrieva, Simone Ewald, Bernd Fäthke, Olga Furman, Petra Lanfermann, Tanja Malycheva, Galina Mardilovich, Antonia Napp, Carla Pellegrini Rocca, Dorothy Price, Hildegard Reinhardt, Kornelia Röder, Kimberly A.

Download or read book German Expressionism written by Dorothy Price and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-24 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents new research on the histories and legacies of the German Expressionist group Blaue Reiter, the founding force behind modernist abstraction. For the first time Blaue Reiter is subjected to a variety of novel inter-disciplinary perspectives, ranging from a philosophical enquiry into its language and visual perception to analyses of its gender dynamics, its reception at different historical junctures throughout the twentieth century and its legacies for post-colonial aesthetic practices. The volume offers a new perspective on familiar aspects of Expressionism and abstraction, taking seriously the inheritance of modernism for the twenty-first century in ways that will help to recalibrate the field of Expressionist studies for future scholarship. Blaue Reiter still matters, the contributors argue, because the legacies of abstraction are still being debated by artists, writers, philosophers and cultural theorists today.
Download or read book Franz Marc Horses written by Franz Marc and published by Hatje Cantz. This book was released on 2000 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like no other artist, Franz Marc pursued the representation of the horse--a central topic in the fine arts--as his life's work. As a painter and co-founder of the "Blaue Reiter" he created symbolic, visionary images which today stand among the icons of modernism. This publication presents an overview of Marc's paintings, drawings, gouaches and a number of famous postcards--from his nature studies of 1905 and 1906 to the sketches he made on the eve of World War I. During this short period of time, the horse motif became increasingly central, especially after Marc moved from Munich to the secluded upper Bavarian village of Sindelsdorf. With a skill for precise observation and intuitive understanding, Marc attempted an ''animalization of art, '' in which the horse became both subject and expression of the hope for better and more organic existence.

Over one thousand sketchbook pages are catalogued and reproduced for the first time, many of which had been separated from the sketchbooks and are here re-united with details of provenance and present location to provide a complete picture of the artist's preparatory work. The volume also contains detailed entries and illustrations of the artist's forty-five prints, including information on media, provenance, and location. It begins with introductory texts that explain the authors' methodology in cataloging the work and concludes with concordances, a glossary of terms, bibliography, and index.
