Ooit de neiging gehad een schilderij te kussen? In een museum in Frankrijk deed een jonge vrouw het. Zij kuste een ijlwit schilderij van Cy Twombly, waar vanaf die dag een afdruk van getuite lippen op te zien was. De kus van de jonge vrouw laat zich misschien wel vergelijken met de manier waarop Joost Zwagerman schrijft in 'Alles in gekleurd'. Net als in 'Transito' reist Zwagerman in 'Alles is gekleurd' langs diverse geledingen van kunst, literatuur en popcultuur. Altijd schrijft hij met een door liefde aangedreven vitaliteit, of het nu gaat om de ontsnappingskunst van Marcel Duchamp of een songtekst van Daniel Lohues, om het blingblingdoodshoofd van Damien Hirst of het columnoeuvre van Martin Bril, om de onnavolgbare humor in het werk van Vladimir Nabokov of de oogopslag van Kate Moss. Het kan niet anders of de lezer van 'Alles is gekleurd' raakt aangestoken door het elan waarmee, Zwagerman zich verdiept in zowel 'grote kunst' als kleine gemoedsbewegingen.

The Bauhaus, the school of art and design founded in Germany in 1919 and shut down by the Nazis in 1933, brought together artists, architects and designers--among them Anni and Josef Albers, Herbert Bayer, Marcel Breuer, Lyonel Feininger, Walter Gropius, Johannes Itten, Vasily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, László Moholy-Nagy, Lilly Reich, Oskar Schlemmer, Gunta Stölzl--in an extraordinary conversation on the nature of art in the industrial age. Aiming to rethink the form of modern life, the Bauhaus became the site of a dazzling array of experiments in the visual arts that have profoundly shaped the world today. Bauhaus 1919-1933: Workshops for Modernity, published to accompany a major multimedia exhibition, is The Museum of Modern Art's first comprehensive treatment of the subject since its famous Bauhaus exhibition of 1938, and offers a new generational perspective on the twentieth century's most influential experiment in artistic education. Organized in collaboration with the three major Bauhaus collections in Germany (the Bauhaus-Archiv Berlin, the Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau and the Klassic Stiftung Weimar), Bauhaus 1919-1933 examines the extraordinarily broad spectrum of the school's products, including industrial design, furniture, architecture, graphics, photography, textiles, ceramics, theater and costume design, painting and sculpture. Many of the objects discussed and illustrated here have rarely if ever been seen or published outside Germany. Featuring approximately 400 color plates, richly complemented by documentary images, Bauhaus 1919-1933 includes two overarching essays by the exhibition's curators, Barry Bergdoll and Leah Dickerman, that present new perspectives on the Bauhaus. Shorter essays by more than 20 leading scholars apply contemporary viewpoints to 30 key Bauhaus objects, and an illustrated narrative chronology provides a dynamic glimpse of the Bauhaus' lived history.

Alfons Mucha is known largely for having originated Art Nouveau, when his poster of the actress Sarah Bernhardt became a legendary icon of the movement. Mucha went on to design hundreds of pieces in the decorative arts field, but later distanced himself from the style he pioneered, devoting his time and energy to painting. This book presents the full array of Mucha's artistic contributions-not only his posters and jewelry designs but also his design for the pavilion of Bosnia and Herzegovina at the 1900 World's Fair. The book also includes his works on canvas, which include pastels and frescoes, and his magnum opus, The Slavic Epic, a series of 20 paintings depicting the history of his native people. A stunning selection of 700 color illustrations is accompanied with essays that explore Mucha's style and inspirations, his transition away from the decorative arts, and his forays into photography. Fans of Art Nouveau will treasure this dazzling and unique study of the artist and his contributions to design and illustration.

Volg Vincent van Gogh door Europa, langs alle plaatsen waar hij woonde en werkte.0Vincent leefde in een spannende tijd. Er veranderde van alles en er werden om de haverklap nieuwe uitvindingen gedaan. Reizen deed Vincent best veel. Bij elkaar heeft hij in vier verschillende landen duizenden kilometers afgelegd. En waar hij ook was , Vincent schreef bijna altijd en overal brieven aan zijn broer Theo. Die stuurde dan geld terug, zodat Vincent zich alleen maar met schilderen hoefde bezig te houden. Theo bewaarde alles wat Vincent hem stuurde: brieven tekeningen en schilderijen. Het is dus dankzij Theo dat we nu zoveel van Vincent weten. En dat er nog ongeveer 1300 tekeningen, zo'n 850 schilderijen en ruim 800 brieven uit Nederland, Engeland, België en Frankrijk bewaard zijn gebleven.

Belgian-born Frans Masereel (1889–1972) was one of the greatest woodcut artists of the twentieth century. Ingeniously portraying the human experience through dramatic art, this novel-without-words, crafted from 167 intricate woodcuts, is considered to be the Flemish artist's masterpiece. A feast for the eyes and the imagination, this powerful visual narrative details the life of an ordinary man. From the first bustling frame to the last haunting image, we are deeply drawn into the hero's day-to-day encounters, and discover a spirit in quest—one that we can profoundly relate to, emotionally and intellectually. Through each extraordinarily vivid depiction, readers feel the hero's happiness, grief, awe, and despair.

Empire of Ecstasy offers a novel interpretation of the explosion of German body culture between the two wars--nudism and nude dancing, gymnastics and dance training, dance photography and criticism, and diverse genres of performance from solo dancing to mass movement choirs. Karl Toepfer presents this dynamic subject as a vital and historically unique construction of "modern identity."

The modern body, radiating freedom and power, appeared to Weimar artists and intelligentsia to be the source of a transgressive energy, as well as the sign and manifestation of powerful, mysterious "inner" conditions. Toepfer shows how this view of the modern body sought to extend the aesthetic experience beyond the boundaries imposed by rationalized life and to transcend these limits in search of ecstasy. With the help of much unpublished or long-forgotten archival material (including many little-known photographs), he investigates the process of constructing an "empire" of appropriative impulses toward ecstasy.

Toepfer presents the work of such well-known figures as Rudolf Laban, Mary Wigman, and Oskar Schlemmer, along with less-known but equally fascinating body culture practitioners. His book is certain to become required reading for historians of dance, body culture, and modernism.

Overzicht van leven en werk van de Zweedse schilder (1853-1919).

The great master of the human form: The sweetness of sin arose from the roots of pain Auguste Rodin was the great master of the human form, in clay, bronze and marble. He hymned Woman, summoning all the passions, joys and vices of life. The poet Rilke wrote that "the sweetness of sin arose from the roots of pain" in Rodin`s figures. They captivate us still, their brilliance undimmed by the passage of time. About the Series:
