Intimate Collaborations
Beautifully illustrated, this insightful book looks at two influential artist couples and the roles of gender and the applied arts in the emergence of abstraction.
Peter Stettler
Von seinem Künstlervater Gustav Stettler schon als Kind gefördert und von diesem in seinen Jugendjahren geprägt, findet Peter Stettler bereits früh zu seinen wichtigsten künstlerischen Themen, denen er zeitlebens treu bleibt – Personendarstellungen, Stillleben und allen voran Aussenräume und Interieurs. In der eigenwilligen Verschränkung der beiden letzteren Gattungen entwickelt Peter Stettler völlig eigenständige Bildkonzepte, mit denen er gegenüber der Kunst seiner Zeit eine unverwechselbare Position markiert. Ohne den Sprung in die Gegenstandslosigkeit zu suchen oder einen forciert eigenwilligen Stil zu bemühen, verabschiedet sich der Künstler unaufgeregt von einer konventio...
Hand and Head
Springer sees in it, not a harsh condemnation of militarism, but a marked ambivalence in the artist's attitude toward war. This new reading of the painting grows out of Springer's assessment of its imagery in relation to patronage, gender relations, and national identity - and particularly to propaganda and satire. Using Kirchner's letters and other documentation, much of it only recently available, Springer reconstructs the years of Kirchner's military service.

Ein deutscher Maler
The National Socialist arts policy denounced Otto Dix (1891–1969) and his verist oeuvre for "endangering public morality" and "adversely affecting the fighting spirit of the German people." Dix reacted by becoming a painter who oscillated in motifs and style between conservatism and critical commentary, and sought recognition despite being defamed. This forced, radical artistic transformation also led to "concealed," in part subversive or contradictory iconographies, to which this book is dedicated. The painter’s art is analyzed against the backdrop of developments in the arts policy in Germany and the Weimar Republic until into the postwar period; all genres—landscapes, portraits, and (Christian) figurative pictures—are examined.

In between
The acrylic glass objects and installations of Berlin artist Michael Laube (born 1955) recede from full presence, as though still en route to the world. Acting prismatically upon the viewer, the breaks and reflections in Laube's glass constructions transform the spaces in which they are set into multidimensional occasions, almost confounding the distinction between object and reflection. This is the first monograph on Laube.
