Frauen wurden auf dem europäischen Heiratsmarkt über Jahrhunderte wie Ware hin und her geschoben. Primäres Ziel der Ehen war, durch Nachkommen den Fortbestand der Dynastien zu sichern. Die stringente Untersuchung des Heiratsverhaltens der Tudors, Stuarts, Pfälzer und Hannoveraner verbunden mit anderen europäischen Dynastien vom 15. bis 19. Jahrhundert, ergab ein differenzierteres Bild der Prozesse der Eheschließungen als allgemein angenommen. Bei Übergängen von einer Monarchie zur anderen waren Frauen maßgeblich beteiligt. Gattinnen der Hannoveraner in Großbritannien kamen alle aus deutschen Höfen. Durch familiären Hintergrund und ihre Persönlichkeit verdeutlichen sie eine große Bandbreite an Biografien. Wie bei Generationen der Ehefrauen und Regentinnen Großbritanniens vor ihnen waren sie in das jeweilige Zeitgeschehen eingebunden und vom Verhalten ihrer Ehemänner beeinflusst bzw. abhängig.

A fascinating journey through Western art from the 1910s to the 1960s, charting how artists wrestled with the headlong changes of a turbulent and conflict-ridden world From the chaos of the First World War to the ravages of the Second, from the Great Depression to the rise of consumer culture, artists we call "modern" faced the challenge of responding imaginatively to utterly new circumstances of life. Original thought, startling artistic techniques, and new attitudes to experimentation were required to produce exceptional and timely work. Make It Modern guides the reader through the art of the modern world. Works of celebrated artists, from Pablo Picasso and Wassily Kandinsky to Frida Kahlo, Jackson Pollock, and Yayoi Kusama, alongside a panoply of undervalued or less-known figures, populate this decade-by-decade narrative. Make It Modern tells an unforgettable story of how art was changed forever.
This tapestry of primary sources is an essential primer on sculpture and its makers. Modern Sculpture presents a selection of manifestos, documents, statements, articles, and interviews from more than ninety sculptors, including a diverse selection of contemporary sculptors. With this book, editor Douglas Dreishpoon defers to artists, whose varied points of view illuminate sculpture’s transformation—from object to action, concept to phenomenon—over the course of more than a century. Chapters arranged in chronological sequences highlight dominant stylistic, philosophical, and thematic threads uniting kindred groups. The result is an artist-centric history of sculpture as a medium of consequence and character.
