Women Artists in Expressionism
A beautifully illustrated examination of the women artists whose inspired search for artistic integrity and equality influenced Expressionist avant-garde culture Women Artists in Expressionism explores how women negotiated the competitive world of modern art during the late Wilhelmine and early Weimar periods in Germany. Their stories challenge predominantly male-oriented narratives of Expressionism and shed light on the divergent artistic responses of women to the dramatic events of the early twentieth century. Shulamith Behr shows how the posthumous critical reception of Paula Modersohn-Becker cast her as a prime agent of the feminization of the movement, and how Käthe Kollwitz used print...
The Oxford Critical and Cultural History of Modernist Magazines
A study of the role of 'little magazines' and their contribution to the making of artistic modernism and the avant-garde across Europe, this volume is a major scholarly achievement of immense value to those interested in material culture of the 20th century.
Expressionism
Expressionism is a style of art in which the intention is not to reproduce a subject accurately, but instead to portray it in such a way as to expressthe inner state of the artist. The movement is also associated with Germany in particular, and was influenced by such emotionally-charged styles as Symbolism, Favism and Cubism. Leading Expressionists included Wassily Kandinsky, George Grosz, Franz Marc and Amadeo Modigliani.
Neurath Reconsidered
This highly readable book is a collection of critical papers on Otto Neurath (1882-1945). It comprehensively re-examines Neurath’s scientific, philosophical and educational contributions from a range of standpoints including historical, sociological and problem-oriented perspectives. Leading Neurath scholars disentangle and connect Neurath’s works, ideas and ideals and evaluate them both in their original socio-historical context and in contemporary philosophical debates. Readers will discover a new critical understanding. Drawing on archive materials, essays discuss not only Neurath’s better-known works from lesser-known perspectives, but also his lesser-known works from the better-kn...
Farbe und Charakter
Wie kann ein so gegenstandsgebundenes Bildthema wie das Porträt gerade im Expressionismus behandelt werden, dem in besonderem Maße die Freiheit künstlerischen Ausdrucks zugeschrieben wird? Dieser Fragestellung wird das Werk eines bestimmten Künstlers unterzogen: Karl Schmidt-Rottluff (1884-1976), ständiges Mitglied der Künstlergemeinschaft "Brücke". Seine Porträtierten sind zumeist Verwandte, Freunde und Bekannte, weniger mit besonderer Rücksicht zu behandelnde Auftraggeber. Die Porträts bieten Vergleichsmöglichkeiten hinsichtlich unterschiedlicher Werkphasen, Techniken - v.a. des im Expressionismus so wichtigen Holzschnitts - und Künstler. Grundlage der Untersuchung bildet jeweils das einzelne Werk unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten der Farbe. Im Zentrum steht dabei die Frage, inwieweit die besondere Behandlung der Farbe in der Lage ist, Aussagen über den Porträtierten zu machen. Unter diesem Aspekt wird der Begriff der Ähnlichkeit, die Unterscheidung von Typus und Porträt, die Rolle des Porträtschemas, das Verhältnis von Figur und Grund sowie die Darstellung von Charaktereigenschaften untersucht.
The Socio-Ethical Dimension of Knowledge
This book studies how the relationship between philosophy, morality, politics, and science was conceived in the Vienna Circle and how this group of philosophers tried to position science as an antidote to totalitarianism and irrationalism. This leads to investigation of the still understudied views of the Vienna Circle on moral philosophy, meta-ethics, and the relationship between philosophy of science and politics. Including papers from an international group of scholars, The Socio-ethical Dimension of Knowledge: The Mission of Logical Empiricism addresses these topics and makes them available to scholars in the field of history of philosophy of science.
Jewish Identity in Modern Art History
In the first comprehensive study of Jewish identity and its meaning for the history of art, eleven influential scholars illuminate the formative role of Jews as subjects of art historical discourse. At the same time, these essays introduce to art history an understanding of the place of cultural identity in the production of scholarship. Contributors explore the meaning of Jewishness to writers and artists alike through such topics as exile, iconoclasm, and anti-Semitism. Included are essays on Anselm Kiefer and Theodor Adorno; the effects of the Enlightenment; the rise of the nation-state; Nazi policies on art history; the criticism of Meyer Schapiro, Clement Greenberg, and Aby Warburg; the art of Judy Chicago, Eleanor Antin, and Morris Gottlieb; and Jewish patronage of German Expressionist art. Offering a new approach to the history of art in which the cultural identities of the makers and interpreters play a constitutive role, this collection begins an important and overdue dialogue that will have a significant impact on the fields of art history, Jewish studies, and cultural studies.
