Book Max Klinger and Wilhelmine Culture

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Morton draws upon information from reviews and early books on the artist, writings by Klinger and his colleagues, and unpublished archival sources.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.

Book Etchings  engravings and lithographs  1878 1903

Download or read book Etchings engravings and lithographs 1878 1903 written by Hans Wolfgang Singer and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 446 pages. 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.

Book Modern Art   the Remaking of Human Disposition

Download or read book Modern Art the Remaking of Human Disposition written by Emmelyn Butterfield-Rosen and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How artists at the turn of the twentieth century broke with traditional ways of posing the bodies of human figures to reflect modern understandings of human consciousness. With this book, Emmelyn Butterfield-Rosen brings a new formal and conceptual rubric to the study of turn-of-the-century modernism, transforming our understanding of the era’s canonical works. Butterfield-Rosen analyzes a hitherto unexamined formal phenomenon in European art: how artists departed from conventions for posing the human figure that had long been standard. In the decades around 1900, artists working in different countries and across different media began to present human figures in strictly frontal, lateral, and dorsal postures. The effect, both archaic and modern, broke with the centuries-old tradition of rendering bodies in torsion, with poses designed to simulate the human being’s physical volume and capacity for autonomous thought and movement. This formal departure destabilized prevailing visual codes for signifying the existence of the inner life of the human subject. Exploring major works by Georges Seurat, Gustav Klimt, and the dancer and choreographer Vaslav Nijinsky— replete with new archival discoveries—Modern Art and the Remaking of Human Disposition combines intensive formal analysis with inquiries into the history of psychology and evolutionary biology. In doing so, it shows how modern understandings of human consciousness and the relation of mind to body were materialized in art through a new vocabulary of postures and poses.
