Die Erfindung der Batterie, der elektrische Lichtbogen oder die Rontgenstrahlung: Im Werk von Joseph Beuys sind Bezuge auf physikalische Phanomene allgegenwartig. Es steht damit exemplarisch fur die Moglichkeit einer Verbindung von Kunst und Wissenschaft im 20. Jahrhundert. Naturwissenschaft spielte eine zentrale Rolle fur den Wissenschaftler/Kunstler Joseph Beuys (1921-1986). Welche Methode entsteht daraus fur seine kunstlerische Arbeit? Die Verfasserin arbeitet systematisch Bezuge zu Phanomenen der klassischen Physik und Chemie heraus, die bei Beuys ab Mitte der 1950er Jahre zuerst in den Zeichnungen erscheinen und spater in Aktionen und Installationen weiterentwickelt werden. Durch Analysen zahlreicher Zeichnungen und energiespezifischer Leitmotive wie Eurasienstab oder Hauptstrom kann sie zeigen, wie sich seine energetische Sicht der Natur auf konkrete Grundlagen zuruckfuhren lasst. Beuys' Wissenschaftsbegriff ist in der Tradition alternativer Wissenschaftsentwurfe von Goethe, Rudolf Steiner oder Rudolf Hauschka verortet. Sein Versuch einer Synthese von Kunst und Wissenschaft ist massgeblich durch die Beschaftigung mit Werk und Denken Leonardo da Vincis beeinflusst, der fur Beuys schon fruh zu einer wichtigen Identifikationsfigur wurde. Ausfuhrlich bespricht die Autorin daher die Werkkomplexe: - der Giocondologie - und der Zeichnungen zu Leonardos Codices Madrid

History

Vasarely (Basic Art) (French Edition)

Influenced by the innovative use of color in Bauhaus art, Hungarian painter Victor Vasarely (1908-1997) developed his own abstract-geometric visual language, exploring the relationship between pure form and pure color. Vasarely's experimentation with optical effects in the 1940s and 50s earned him a central role in the evolution of Op Art. By the late 50s and early 60s, he concentrated on the "democratization of art" by no longer producing his works as expensive originals but in large editions of affordable screen prints; this attempt to redefine the position and function of the artist in society was an important first step in the Pop Art movement. Vasarely's boldly colorful and eye-popping paintings are instantly recognizable and remain entirely modern and relevant today.

De Chirico (Basic Art)

Greek-born Italian painter Giorgio De Chirico (1888-1978) was hugely influential in the early years of the Surrealist movement. His paintings during the teens in Paris, where he moved in 1911, caused such a stir that such important figures as Picasso and Paul Eluard immediately praised them. This phase of his work, which he later termed pittura metafisica (metaphysical painting) was marked by dramatic compositions involving sharp perspective, striking shadows, geometrical planes, voids of space, and a general feeling of anxiety and loneliness; the sense of absurdity evoked by the mannequin-like figures in almost nightmarish landscapes seemed to suggest a Freudian expression of the unconscious. After 1930, De Chirico turned to a more classical style of painting and continued in the same vein for the rest of his career; his later work was widely criticized, especially by the Surrealists who had so admired his early paintings.

De Chirico

In 1968, artist Daniel Spoerri founded Restaurant Spoerri in Düsseldorf; two years later he opened the Eat Art Gallery, where artists such as Joseph Beuys, Roy Lichtenstein and Dieter Roth exhibited objects made of foodstuffs. Taking the activities of Eat Art as its starting point, Eating the Universe gathers together artworks that have been made using edible materials, starting in the 1970s and continuing through to the present day. Over the past decade in particular, artists have evinced a growing interest in food and eating, concomitant with an increasing overall consciousness about the political, ecological, cultural and economic dimensions of what we put in our mouths. With 170 color images, Eating the Universe presents a range of contemporary artwork that explores linkages between food and the formation of identity, societal affluence, globalization and awareness of one's own body.

The way we wore.  The story of modern fashion—from couture to mass market         The 20th century saw fashion evolve from an exclusive Parisian salon business catering to a wealthy elite, into a global industry employing millions, with new trends whisked into stores before the last model has left the catwalk. Along the way, the signature feminine silhouettes of each era evolved beyond recognition: House of Worth crinolines gave way to Vionnet’s bias-cut gowns, Dior’s New Look to Quant’s Chelsea Look, Halston’s white suit toFrankie B.’s low-rise jeans. In menswear, ready-made suits signaled the demise of bespoke tailoring, long before Hawaiian shirts, skinny ties or baggy pants entered the fore.       20th Century Fashion offers a stylish retrospective of the last hundred years, via 400 fashion advertisements from the Jim Heimann Collection. Using imagery culled from a century of advertising, this book documents the unrelenting pace of fashion as it was adopted into the mass culture, decade by decade. An in-depth introduction, chapter text, and illustrated timeline detail the style-makers and trend-setters, from couture to the mass market; and how the historic events, design houses, retailers, films, magazines, and celebrities shaped the way we dressed—then and now. A TASCHEN classic, now in a new size at an irresistible price!

De Chirico (Basic Art) (French Edition)

With his Pittura Metafisica, Greek-born Italian painter Giorgio de Chirico (1888–1978) was a major influence in Europe’s interwar avant-garde, hailed by the likes of Pablo Picasso and Paul Éluard.
The artist’s Pittura Metafisica set statues or mannequin-like figures in exaggerated one-point perspective spaces including city squares, receding arcades, distant walls, or claustrophobic interiors. Sharp perspectives, striking shadows, geometrical planes, and voids of space crafted a compositional drama and lurking mood of anxiety and loneliness.The paintings set out to disquiet, to make the viewer reassess the nature of reality and search beneath its appearances for elusive memories and unexpected insights. While the Surrealists around Breton turned to Freud’s theories of the unconscious, de Chirico was fascinated by Nietzsche.
This dependable artist introduction explores all the ominous shadows and brooding corners of de Chirico’s Pittura Metafisica as well as his later development into a more classical style, a shift widely criticized by the Surrealists who had so admired his early paintings.
