Leon Battista Alberti’s 1435 treatise De pictura influenced generations of painters by suggesting that a painting should be approached as an open window. By the twentieth century, the window had transformed into a motif that would test the limits of painting. With his 1920 “Fresh Widow”--a replica of a French window with panes covered in black leather--Marcel Duchamp postulated a farewell to illusionist painting. This publication presents the development of window painting by artists such as Robert Delaunay, Henri Matisse, Marcel Duchamp, René Magritte, Ellsworth Kelly, Eva Hesse, Gerhard Richter and many others.

Watercolors, sketchbooks, journal entries, photographs and other documents of the famous journey taken by Paul Klee, August Macke and Louis Moillet in 1914 are presented here in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the voyage, a comprehensive tribute honoring the significance to art history of the artists’ journey. When Klee and his fellow painters Macke and Moilliet left for Tunisia in April 1914, a cornucopia of impressions awaited them in Tunis, St. Germain, Hammamet and Kairouan. They departed from the anecdotal Orientalism of the nineteenth century, abstracting their motifs and transforming them into ornamental shapes and crystalline structures. Their surprising, innovative images are today a highlight of early modernism. Klee went the furthest. For him, color became the most important creative tool; he dissolved the object in planes of color, the visual construct became a pattern that he covered in arabesques and symbols.

History & Criticism

Popular and beloved in his lifetime but subsequently overlooked by historians of German Symbolist-era painting, Otto Modersohn (1865-1943) painted humble landscape scenes full of intimacy and sobriety, repeatedly mining the possibilities of his dark, moody palette. Aside from a handful of early city scenes done in the 1880s, Modersohn's small-scale paintings depict quiet country lanes, fields with wildflowers or barns and churches in the background, somewhat in the tradition of French Romantic painters such as Daubigny, Corot and Dupr . After 1900, small girls and bathers began to crop up in these rural scenes. Following the death of his wife, Paula Modersohn-Becker, in 1907, Modersohn increasingly focused on translucent winter scenes realized with great simplicity of feeling, and often executed by night. This substantial overview of his works is the first comprehensive monograph in English.

Emil Cimiotti’s roots are in informalism. He was recognized early as one of the pioneers and main representatives of German informal sculpture. As early as 1958 and 1960, he took part in the Venice Biennial; in 1964, participation in documenta 3 followed. After the publication of the first part of the catalogue raisonné, this monograph presents for the first time a comprehensive overview of these extremely fascinating, processual transformations in Emil Cimiotti’s work up to today.
