German Expressionism by Rose-Carol Washton Long,Ida Katherine Rigby,Nancy Roth Pdf

"An indispensable anthology that immediately renders its predecessors obsolete. With its gathering of public and private documents, it carries us through the rise and fall of one of the great upheavals of modern art."—Robert Rosenblum, New York University "These essays, including many previously unavailable in English, are rich with startling new insights into the German Expressionist psyche. Elucidating the artists' view of government, the role of women in modern society, and their own ambivalence about the effectiveness of abstract art, this anthology is essential reading for all scholars and students of twentieth-century art."—Joan Marter, author of Alexander Calder

German Expressionist Painting by Peter Selz Pdf

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.

Hermann Stenner by Christoph Wagner Pdf

An intimate and bibliophilic artist monograph of the German Expressionist Hermann Stenner. Hermann Stenner (1891-1914) was one of the most remarkable talents of the twentieth century. His promising career was cut short death by his death in battle in World War I, when he was twenty-three. Stenner's body of work is all the more impressive because of the compressed time frame in which it was produced--just five years of study and creative work. After attending painting classes at the Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart, he transferred to study under the painter Adolf Hölzel, becoming the artist's master student in 1912. In addition to the "Hölzel Circle," Stenner also belonged to the circle of Westphalian Expressionists, which included artists such as Peter August Böckstiegel, Else Lohmann, August Macke, and Carlo Mense. By 1913, Stenner was already participating in important exhibitions in Germany and abroad alongside artists like Egon Schiele and Max Slevogt. In 1914, only a few months before he died in the war, he executed a cycle of wall paintings in the entrance hall of the Werkbund exhibition in Cologne with artists Oskar Schlemmer and Willi Baumeister. This artist's remarkable oeuvre, which includes 280 paintings and more than 1,500 drawings, has recently attracted new critical attention. This publication celebrates the great rediscovery of one of the pioneers of German Expressionism.

Kirchner and Nolde by Dorthe Aagesen,Beatrice Von Bormann,Anna Vestergaard Jørgensen Pdf

A critical examination of German expressionism's relationship to the violence of colonialism. Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938) and Emil Nolde (1867-1956) were leading figures in the German expressionist movement. Turning away from Western society and the established norms of bourgeois culture, the artists looked to people, lifestyles, and objects from other parts of the world for inspiration, especially Africa and Oceania. Kirchner and Nolde experienced these other parts of the world through ethnographic museums, popular culture, the staging of "exotic" environments in Kirchner's studio, and Nolde's travels to the German colony of New Guinea. This book examines Nolde's and Kirchner's works against the background of their historical and ideological context: colonialism, domination, and the European invention of a racialized Other, an idea that was created by bohemian fetishization of the exotic as much as conservative fear of it. Kirchner and Nolde thus unveils less familiar and more violent aspects of expressionism.

Expressionism in Germany and France by Timothy O. Benson Pdf

This groundbreaking examination of the cultural exchange between early 20th century French and German artists illuminates new ways of understanding the development of Expressionism. Although the Expressionist movement is widely considered to have arisen out of a German aesthetic, it was actually as much a result of German artists' exposure to artists living and working in France, such as van Gogh, Seurat, Gauguin, Cezanne, Matisse, Picasso, and Braque. In fact, in its early days, Expressionism was assigned no specific nationality at all. This fascinating book focuses on the key exhibitions, galleries, and museum directors that helped disseminate styles and techniques of revolutionary French artists throughout Germany. Included here are French masterpieces seen not only by German artists in Paris but also in important galleries, exhibitions, and private collections in Berlin, Dresden, Munich, Weimar, and other cities. More than 100 paintings and works on paper are grouped to encourage an understanding of artistic influence and interchange. The volume also reflects new scholarship on issues of French-German relations and contributes to our understanding of the ways the visual arts are influenced by ideas of national identity and cultural heritage."

German Expressionism by Stephanie Barron,Wolf-Dieter Dube Pdf

In the early years of the 20th century, a group of young artists including Ernst Kirchner, Vassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc, liberated themselves from traditional representation by using distortion and vibrant, unrealistic colour in their painting. Eroticism became a tool for exposing the lies and decadence of society, whilst motifs borrowed from African, Oceanic and Buddhist art further questioned bourgeois culture. Later, the cruelty of World War I was reflected violently in the work of Max Beckmann, Otto Dix and George Grosz.
