New Perspectives on Br?cke Expressionism
New Perspectives on Br?cke Expressionism: Bridging History brings together highly-renowned international art historians in a scholarly work that offers the first full-length reassessment in English of the importance of the Br?cke group to German modernism specifically and to international modernism more generally. It challenges, interrogates and updates existing orthodoxies in the field of Br?cke studies by deploying new research combined with innovative interpretative approaches. This is an exciting volume of essays with an interlinking tripartite structure that charts the significance of this pioneering German avant-garde group in relation to various critical themes, namely, 'cultural and ...
French Paintings in The Metropolitan Museum of Art from the Early Eighteenth Century through the Revolution
This publication catalogues The Met’s remarkable collection of eighteenth-century French paintings in the context of the powerful institutions that governed the visual arts of the time—the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture, the Académie de France à Rome, and the Paris Salon. At the height of their authority during the eighteenth century, these institutions nurtured the talents of artists in all genres. The Met’s collection encompasses stunning examples of work by leading artists of the period, including Antoine Watteau (Mezzetin), Jean Siméon Chardin (The Silver Tureen), François Boucher (The Toilette of Venus), Joseph Siffred Duplessis (Benjamin Franklin), Jean-Baptiste...

'Aber ich stelle doch nochmals einen neuen Kirchner auf'
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938) gehört zu einem der meist untersuchten und ausgestellten deutschen Expressionisten. Die Kunstgeschichte tut sich jedoch mit seinem Davoser Spätwerk schwer. Nach wie vor ist der späte Kirchner, der sich mit einem jahrzehntelang auslaufenden Expressionismus nicht zufrieden gab, von Publikumsinteresse sowie Kunstkritik verweigert worden. Dieses Buch legt Kirchners unerwarteten Stilwechsel nach 1925 im Kontext der Kunstentwicklung der Zwischenkriegszeit dar. Es betrachtet sein eigenwilliges Projekt der Aufstellung des 'neuen Kirchners' als Ausgangspunkt der Problematik des Davoser Spätwerks. In der ausführlichen und informativen Zeittafel der Schweizer Jahr...

From private residences and boutique hotels to museum installations, city squares, and cafés the book takes a close look at an artist who has toed the line between designer, architect, and craftsman for over thirty years. The publication also presents twelve never-before-seen "unrealized projects" from the artist's career, discussed in conversation with curator and art historian Hans Ulrich Obrist.

Art of the 20th Century
The original edition of this ambitious reference was published in hardcover in 1998, in two oversize volumes (10x13"). This edition combines the two volumes into one; it's paperbound ("flexi-cover"--the paper has a plastic coating), smaller (8x10", and affordable for art book buyers with shallower pockets--none of whom should pass it by. The scope is encyclopedic: half the work (originally the first volume) is devoted to painting; the other half to sculpture, new media, and photography. Chapters are arranged thematically, and each page displays several examples (in color) of work under discussion. The final section, a lexicon of artists, includes a small bandw photo of each artist, as well as biographical information and details of work, writings, and exhibitions. Ruhrberg and the three other authors are veteran art historians, curators, and writers, as is editor Walther. c. Book News Inc.
Jagdgründe der Kunst
Auf Tiere schießen, um sie besser malen zu können? Kuhgemälde als Tarnung für die Rebhuhnjagd? Auszeichnungen für Geweihe und Gemälde auf der gleichen Ausstellung? In der europäischen Geschichte kreuzten sich die Wege von Jagd und Kunst auf vielfältige Weise. Sie konnten Techniken, Orte und Motive teilen. Und nicht erst mit dem Knallen und Schießen der Photographie wurde die Jagd zu einem beliebten Metaphernfeld mimetischer Kunst. Vielmehr waren Jagd und Kunst zwischen Früher Neuzeit und Moderne weitverbreitete Praktiken des Verstehens, Erlebens und Beherrschens von Natur. Zahlreiche Kunstschaffende jagten selbst. Dies stellten sie selbstbewusst in ihren Portraits heraus und erklärten es zur Grundlage ihrer Jagd-, Tier- und Landschaftsmalerei. Wie dieses Buch erstmals dokumentiert, haben Jagd und Kunst eine gemeinsame Kulturgeschichte, die über funktionale und ikonographische Aspekte hinausgeht und das grundsätzliche Verhältnis des Menschen zur belebten wie unbelebten Mitwelt betrifft.
Feast of Color
For many years, as the Merzbacher Collection grew, it remained a well-guarded secret--lent generously but anonymously to museums, so that only a few curators understood its importance. In October 1998, it made its debut in The Joy of Color at Jerusalem's Israel Museum, and proved to be one of the most successful exhibits ever hosted there, drawing some 250,000 people. Since then the Switzerland-based Merzbacher Collection has also shown in London, and the New York Times has called it "one of the world-s finest private holdings of modern art." This book of its treasures spans more than 100 years of art-historical development and an abundance of movements, and includes work from Max Beckmann, Vincent Van Gogh, Paul Cezanne, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Emil Nolde and Henri Matisse.
