Rediscovered and Reunited
The hidden world of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's unique art frames! Ernst Ludwig Kirchner regarded the picture and its frame as a unit. Contrary to Kirchner's intention that they each belong together, some paintings were separated from their original frames over the years. In Rediscovered & Reunited, they are reunited in a remarkable exhibition, allowing us to rediscover a chapter of modernism that has often been overlooked. Even as a member of the "Brücke", Kirchner designed simple wooden frames for his paintings; later in Davos, these were complemented by more elaborate frame profiles with steps and rounded, grooved, and Baroque elements. This volume is dedicated to the frames and their history in detail, showing for the first time, with prestigious international loans, the development of the art of frames from the early to the late work of the famous Expressionist artist. Half linen, visible cardboard, hot foil stamping on cover and spine, trimmed on three sides.

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938) is one of the best-known painters and sculptors of German Expressionism. As co-founder of the artists' group the Brücke at the beginning of the twentieth century, he is also one of the most important artists of the avant-garde. His life and work were deeply shaped by his search for the 'exotic' and 'primordial', for foreign lands and cultures. What resulted were brilliantly colourful, imaginative artworks in which he create foreign worlds. This book traces the stages of Kirchner's life and artistic development. It illustrates how, by synthesising a great variety of influences from non-European cultures, the artists achieved an intermingling of art, life and work that manifested itself as 'exotic' Gesamtkunstwerk not only in his work but also in his live-in studios.
The Routledge Companion to Photography, Representation and Social Justice

New Museums
The past decade was characterised by a real museum boom which persists today. Throughout the world museums have been built that are as unique as the art they contain, and the process continues. This volume assembles approximately 15 of these museums, designed and realised by the who?s who of the architect scene.00The architecture of the museums is an artwork in itself. They include buildings such as the Changsha Meixihu International Culture & Art Centre designed by Zaha Hadid and the Zeitz Museum for contemporary African art in Cape Town. With designs that extend from exciting to dynamic to sensuously beautiful the architects have created places of encounter, communication and inspiration which make the world of art accessible to visitors in ways that are not always mapped out by curators. The volume shows magnifi cent photographs and documents through drawings the development of the buildings as well as the challenges of architecture today.
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner - the sketchbooks
The small format oilcloth booklets that Ernst Ludwig Kirchner fills throughout his life, page for page with pencil, crayon, chalk, Ink, watercolor paints or charcoal, were for him, who didn't spend a day without a sketchbook, drawn diaries, documentation, and experiment room. The masterly talent of the painter for drawing is revealed in them. With a few precise strokes he could capture whole sceneries. Kirchner recorded everything his artistic eye appealed to him for painting and sometimes animated to write. The inconspicuous black booklets form their own and unique genre in Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's oeuvre and are among the most important original documents for art historical research. For the very first time, they were published within the publication for the exhibition "Kirchner's Sketchbook. From Pencil Stroke To Hologram" in Kirchner Museum Davos. The sketchbooks show, which like no other genre, motive groups occupied Kirchner throughout his life and how he got his stylistic development from the street scenes to the New Style in thousands of sketches worked out. Based on their studies, it is possible tracing genesis from draft to finished painting.
Towards Impressionism
The Musée des Beaux-Arts, Reims owns the second largest collection of works by Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot after the Louvre, as well as excellent landscape paintings by artists of the Barbizon School. Corot was one of the most significant painters involved with the barbizonists. Studying the Reims holdings further, it seemed evident to edit a catalogue and curate an exhibition that reaches from the romantic spirit in French landscape painting to the School of Barbizon on to the group of artists around Eugène-Louis Boudin at Honfleur - the true cradle of Impressionism - and lastly to the impressionists Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro and Pierre-Auguste Renoir.00Exhibition: Cornell Fine Arts Museum, Winter Park, USA (20.01.-08.04.2018) / Frye Art Museum, Seattle, USA (12.05.-05.08.2018).

Koloniale Tiere?
Löwen, Elefanten, Okapis, Giraffen und Strauße – Tiere aus Kolonialgebieten bevölkerten die Bildwelten der europäischen Moderne um 1900. Sie waren Ausdruck eines sich im Zuge der Industrialisierung, Nationalstaatenbildung und imperialen Expansion wandelnden Verhältnisses europäischer Gesellschaften zu menschlichen und nicht-menschlichen Lebewesen sowie zur Natur. Während einige Wissenschaftler*innen, Großwildjäger*innen und Künstler*innen in europäische Kolonien reisten, um Tiere zu studieren, zu malen und auf Film zu bannen, oder als Jagdtrophäen, Präparate und Exponate heimzuholen, bekam ein Großteil der Bevölkerung diese vor allem in Zoologischen Gärten, Zirkussen und Mu...
