Download or read book Hans Hofmann written by Lucinda Barnes and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2019-02-22 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hans Hofmann: The Nature of Abstraction offers a fresh and revealing assessment of the artist’s prolific and innovative painterly career. The comprehensive exhibition and accompanying catalogue will feature approximately seventy paintings and works on paper by Hofmann from 1930 through the end of his life in 1966, including works from public and private collections across North America and Europe. Curator Lucinda Barnes builds on new scholarship published over the past ten years and the 2014 catalogue raisonné to present Hofmann as a unique synthesis of student, artist, teacher, and mentor who transcended generations and continents. His singular artistic achievement drew on artistic influences and innovations that spanned two world wars and transatlantic avant-gardes. Over the last fifty years Hofmann has come to be understood primarily from the vantage of his late color-plane abstractions. Hans Hofmann: The Nature of Abstraction expands our understanding and reinvigorates our appreciation of Hofmann through an inclusive presentation of his artistic arc, showing the vibrant interconnectedness and continuity in his work of European and American influences from the early twentieth century through the advent of abstract expressionism.

Download or read book Hans Christian Andersen written by Jens Andersen and published by ABRAMS. This book was released on 2006-03-28 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Andersen provides a fascinating backdrop for the life of the acclaimed fairy tale writer . . . a budding genius placed in the context of his time.” —Publishers Weekly Hans Christian Andersen was a storyteller for children of all ages, but he was more than that. He was a critical journalist with great enthusiasm for science, an existential thinker, an observant travel book writer, a passionate novelist, a deft paper cut-out artist, a neurotic hypochondriac, and a man with intense but frustrated sexual desires. This startling and immensely readable, definitive biography by Danish scholar Jens Andersen is essential to a full understanding of the man whose writing has influenced the lives of readers young and old for centuries. Jens Andersen sheds brilliant new light on Hans Christian Andersen’s writings and on the writer whose own life had many aspects of the fairytale. Like some of the memorable characters he created, Andersen grew up in miserable and impoverished circumstances. He later propagated myths about his life and family, but this new biography uncovers much about this man that has never been revealed before. “[An] enthralling, ground-breaking new biography . . . Jens Andersen has a novelist’s insights which enhance his meticulous biographical skills, making us appreciate (among much else) that ambiguity is as intrinsic to the life as to the art that came out of it.” —The Independent
Download or read book More Lives than One A Biography of Hans Fallada written by Jenny Williams and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2012-02-02 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hans Fallada was a drug addict, womanizer, alcoholic, jailbird and thief. Yet he was also one of the most extraordinary storytellers of the twentieth century, whose novels, including Alone in Berlin, portrayed ordinary people in terrible times with a powerful humanity. This acclaimed biography, newly revised and completely updated, tells the remarkable story of Hans Fallada, whose real name was Rudolf Ditzen. Jenny Williams chronicles his turbulent life as a writer, husband and father, shadowed by mental torment and long periods in psychiatric care. She shows how Ditzen's decision to remain in Nazi Germany in 1939 led to his self-destruction, but also made him a unique witness to his country's turmoil. More Lives Than One unpicks the contradictory, flawed and fascinating life of a writer who saw the worst of humanity, yet maintained his belief in the decency of the 'little man'.
Download or read book Hans Paasche written by Werner Lange and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Isn't it wonderful to suddenly find real human beings--Menschen--in circles where one would least expect to find them?" So wrote Rosa Luxemburg in November 1917 from her Breslau prison cell to her friend Clara Zetkin. She was referring to Hans Paasche (1881-1920), at that time also imprisoned, son of the Reichstag vice president but accused of high treason. Hans Paasche, Imperial Navy officer and combative pacifist, big game hunter and nature conservationist, Africa explorer and life reformer, alcohol abstainer and vegetarian, author and revolutionary. Here the brief but active life of this extraordinary personality is narrated in detail--his vain attempts to change the Prussian Deutschland-uber-alles mindset, his reaching out to peoples of all colors, classes and political bent, the African military campaign where he leamed first hand the horror and futility of war, his African explorations with his also extraordinary wife Ellen, the first European woman to reach the Source of the Nile and the first to ascend Kilimanjaro and the recently erupted volcano Nylragongo (an aid in these explorations was the fact that they both spoke fluent kiSwahili). Paasche's fictional series of letters Lukanga Mukara a look at Germany through the eyes of an educated African, reveal the decadence then existing. At last a retreat with Ellen and their four children to his estate Waldfrieden, where, at age 39 he fell victim to a political assassination. A gripping story about a remarkable life lived into the first two decades of the twentieth century.
Download or read book Hans Holbein written by Jeanne Nuechterlein and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immensely skillful and inventive, Hans Holbein molded his approach to art-making during a period of dramatic transformation in European society and culture: the emergence of humanism, the impact of the Reformation on religious life, and the effects of new scientific discoveries. Most people have encountered Holbein’s work—think of King Henry VIII and Holbein’s memorable portrait springs to mind, forever defining the Tudor king for posterity—but little is widely known about the artist himself. This overview of Holbein looks at his art through the changes in the world around him. Offering insightful and often surprising new interpretations of visual and historical sources that have rarely been addressed, Jeanne Nuechterlein reconstructs what we know of the life of this elusive figure, illuminating the complexity of his world and the images he generated.

This book was released on 2005-06-09 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A helpful guide to the writings of perhaps the greatest Catholic theologian of the twentieth century. Healy shows how for Balthasar the ultimate form of 'the end' is given in Christ's eucharistic and pneumatic gift of himself - a gift that simultaneously lays bare the mystery of God's trinitarian life and enables Christ to return to the Father in communion with the whole of creation.

Download or read book Hans Blumenberg written by Xander Kirke and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-02 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the writings of German intellectual historian and philosopher Hans Blumenberg. While Blumenberg was not an explicitly political thinker and remains relatively under-explored in Anglophone academia, this project demonstrates that his work makes a valuable contribution to political science. The author considers the intellectual contributions Blumenberg makes to a variety of themes focusing primarily on myth. Rather than seeing myths in a pejorative sense, as primitive modes of thought that have been overcome, Blumenberg reveals that myths are crucial to dealing with the existential anxieties we face. When we trace his thought as it developed throughout his life, we find a rich source of philosophical insights that could enhance our understandings of politics today.
Download or read book Hans Magnus Enzensberger written by Alasdair King and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2007 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The writings of Hans Magnus Enzensberger are a provocative commentary on the post-1945 period in Germany. Poet and essayist of international standing and frequent contributor to political and cultural debates, his work has accompanied the development of the Federal Republic from the 1950s to German unification and after. This study makes explicit the links between Enzensberger's literary imagination and the cultural and political history of Germany and offers a close reading of both Enzensberger's poetry and his seminal essays on politics and culture, proposing that they be considered as part of a single artistic project. The book argues that Enzensberger's significance lies in his sustained exploration of the relationship between literary and cultural practices and political democracy in Germany. It offers detailed analyses of Enzensberger's poetry and considers his essays on the 'consciousness industry' and on the 'constituents of a theory of the media' in the context of the political development of the Federal Republic in the half-century following 1945. Post-World War 2 essays on cinema and television, on tourism, consumption and migration, and on digital media and the future of literature are also considered and analysed. Enzensberger's work is situated as part of an ongoing critical debate between him and key intellectual figures such as Theodor W. Adorno, Walter Benjamin, Siegfried Kracauer, Jurgen Habermas, Jean Baudrillard and Michel Foucault."
Download or read book Rigour and Reason Essays in Honour of Hans Vilhelm Hansen written by J. Anthony Blair and published by University of Windsor. This book was released on 2020-06-11 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Built in the centre of Copenhagen, and noted for its equestrian stairway, the Rundetaarn (Round Tower), was intended as an astronomical observatory. Part of a complex of buildings that once included a university library, it affords expansive views of the city in every direction, towering above what surrounds it. The metaphor of the towering figure, who sees what others might not, whose vantage point allows him to visualize how things fit together, and who has an earned-stature of respect and authority, fits another Danish stalwart, Hans Vilhelm Hansen, whose contributions to the fields of informal logic and argument theory have earned the gratitude of his colleagues, and inspired this collection of essays, written to express the appreciation of its authors and of the many, many colleagues they represent.
