Marc Chagall
One of the twentieth century's most beloved painters, Marc Chagall is known for his lyrical works that are filled with images of religion, childhood memories, and dreams. This richly illustrated volume presents a cross-section of his workchronologically arranged illustrations of some of his most vibrant oil paintings, gouaches, and watercolors. Accompanying these reproductions are essays that illuminate Chagall's life, recount his experiences in Russia, France, and later the United States, and examine the artistic influence of the Western avant-garde on his work. Together they celebrate an artist for whom painting was an expression of love, life, and faith.

Paul KLee
Contextual analogies reveal that Klee matched wits with Christian Morgenstern, rose to the provocations of Kurt Schwitters, and gave new form to the Surrealists' "exquisite corpses." By the end of his life Klee discovered his own poetic voice in alphabet drawings that read as anagrams and pictorial poems that challenge conventional distinctions between verbal and visual forms of expression." "Paul Klee, Poet/Painter is a case study in the reciprocity of poetry and painting in early modernist practice. It introduces readers to a little-known facet of Klee's creative activity and re-evaluates his contributions to a modernist aesthetic."--BOOK JACKET.
A Secret History of Clay
The qualities that have caused clay to be overlooked as a medium by those writing the history of modern art are precisely those that make it attractive to artists. It is easy to work, fragile, inexpensive, unpredictable and physical, and therefore inherently subversive. A Secret History of Clay reveals the previously undisclosed love affair between artists and this most humble of materials and in doing so re-writes modern art history. Works by some of the greatest artists of the twentieth century, many never reproduced before, will be fully illustrated in colour, tracing the transition of ceramics from a craft pursuit to something altogether more radical. Simon Groom, curator of the exhibition, argues the case for a re-examination of the use of clay in modern art. The distinguished ceramicist and writer Edmund de Waal explores its history, examining little-known works works by groups such as the Fauves, Russian Suprematists, German Expressionists, Italian Futurists, and CoBrA, as well as by artists including Duchamp, Miro, Picasso and Noguchi. The book will also feature extracts from the manifestos and writings of both artists and critics on the use of clay. Starting with Gauguin,

This will prove an invaluable reference work for art historians, librarians, museum and gallery curators, as well as students and researchers.
Der Goldene Schnitt
Der Goldene Schnitt Teil III: Kunst vor, am und nach dem Bauhaus In Teil III geht es im Unterschied zu Teil II, wo die Architektur im Mittelpunkt steht, vornehmlich um Kunst. Hier geht es um Farbtheorien, angefangen bei Goethe. Im Mittelpunkt steht neben Adolf Hölzel Wassily Kandinsky. Auf ihre Wege in die Abstraktion wird ausführlich eingegangen. Adolf Hölzels "Künstlerische Mittel" werden durch seine Schüler Johannes Itten und Josef Albers ans Bauhaus getragen. Wichtige Entwicklungen finden zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts statt, die Voraussetzung sind für die Maler am Bauhaus: der Kubismus von Picasso, der Orphismus von Delaunay. Bedeutende Maler setzen sich mit der Ablösung der figu...
