Thinking eye. A unique language of symbols, literature, and light 

With careful theories and many thousands of paintings, drawings, and watercolours, Paul Klee (1879-1940) is considered one of the most cerebral and prolific leaders of 20th-century European art. Though typically small in scale, his works are remarkable for their sophisticated thought and meticulous nuances of line, colour, and tonality. Klee s stylistic formation was shaped by early affiliation with the German expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter and, in particular, by a 1914 trip to Tunisia which transformed his use of colour. 

After the war, he taught at the esteemed Bauhaus school, where his lectures, like his emerging practice, emphasized the symbolic potential of shades, lines, and geometries. Klee was also inspired by Cubism, poetry, music, literature, language, and the simplistic power of children s art. Famed for his simple stick figures, he often combined the appearance of untutored naivety with rigorous composition and intellectual significance.

This book provides a selection of key Klee works to introduce his style and influence. From sun-drenched landscapes to enigmatic wordplay, discover a world at once simplistic, symbolic, and dazzlingly colourful.

"A new world calls for a new man"

In the mid-Fifties, Yves Klein (1928-1962) conquered the world of art, declaring that "a new world calls for a new man". His idiosyncratic style and huge charisma set him on a youthful career in the great art capital, Paris. Soon his famous blue pictures, large-format canvases conceived as spaces for meditation, were making him a name far beyond France.

In a short but intense creative life of just seven years, Klein painted over a thousand pictures which are among the classics of modern art. This book offers an exciting sample of his work.

Gustav Klimt’s art is thoroughly fin de siècle. It expresses the apocalyptic atmosphere of Vienna’s upper-middle-class society - a society devoted to the cultivation of aesthetic awareness and the cult of pleasure. The ecstatic joy which Klimt (1862–1918) and his contemporaries found - or hoped to find - in beauty was constantly overshadowed by death, and death, therefore, plays an important role in Klimt’s art. Klimt’s fame, however, rests on his reputation as one of the greatest erotic painters and graphic artists of his times. Particularly his drawings, which have been widely admired for their artistic excellence, are dominated by the erotic portrayal of women. Klimt saw the world “in female form.” Author Gottfried Fliedl also discusses the Secession movement and Klimt’s role within this important group of artists.

The feminine world. The work of the great Austrian symbolist

Gustav Klimt’s ornate art expresses the apocalyptic atmosphere of Vienna’s upper-middle-class society around the turn of the 20th century — a society devoted to the cultivation of aesthetic awareness and the cult of pleasure.

The ecstatic joy which Klimt (1862–1918) and his contemporaries found — or hoped to find — in beauty was constantly overshadowed by death. And death, therefore, plays an important role in Klimt’s art. Klimt’s fame, however, rests on his reputation as one of the greatest erotic painters and graphic artists of his times. His drawings in particular, which have been widely admired for their artistic excellence, are dominated by the sensual portrayal of women.

Eloquent and provocative drawings, exquisitely reproduced, provide an intimate encounter with these two daring Austrian masters.

Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele were two of the most daring and controversial artists in Vienna during the culturally turbulent decades around the turn of the 20th century. They worked out their provocative depictions of the human body, created in a search for psychological truth as well as physical realism, in the direct and intimate medium of drawing. In Klimt’s studies, the distinctive character or unsettling emotional resonance of the person portrayed comes through in the artist’s delicate, sinuous lines. The striking presence of the individual in Schiele’s more finished drawings, often rendered with extreme frankness and bold colouration, pulses with dramatic immediacy. Although Klimt was almost thirty years Schiele’s senior, he quickly recognized and encouraged the younger artist’s extraordinary talent.

The sixty important works exquisitely reproduced in large format in this volume reach from each artist’s early academic studies to more incisive and unconventional explorations of nature, psychology, sexuality and spirituality. By giving viewers access to these artists’ worlds, this album of unforgettable drawings provides a direct connection to the minds of two master draftsmen exploring the limits of representation, as well as the shock of recognition at seeing our own inner lives caught on paper.

Konrad Klapheck
ID: 5139
Видавництво: Steidl Verlag

Since the 1950s, German painter Konrad Klapheck has been producing a rigorous body of work. The bulk of his extraordinarily focused artistic career comprises a continued painterly investigation of technological machines and everyday objects such as typewriters, sewing machines, and ventilators. The artist’s canvases, however, are not mere depictions; the objects Klapheck presents are subtly anthropomorphized and charged with psychological, social, and political meaning. A telephone, for example, takes on a playful, eroticized quality in one canvas, while a typewriter becomes a menacing object evocative of brute power in another. An artist’s artist, Klapheck has never painted according to fashions dictated by the art world; he is a painter guided by his own obsessions. However, his work bears a number of crucial relationships to the history of painting and to the artistic and intellectual concerns of postwar art. In its unexpected combination of deadpan depiction and evocative playfulness, Klapheck’s canvases forge an important link in twentieth-century art, melding elements from Surrealism and Pop Art with a singular painterly sensibility to create a uniquely influential body of work.

This long-overdue English-language monograph comprises an in-depth examination of Klapheck’s work, bringing together an extensive group of paintings that span the continued course of his career. The publication provides an overview of important paintings of technological devices and machinery, while also presenting examples of more recent evocative, figurative work.

Konrad Witz (c. 1400 – c. 1446) counts among the most radical revivalists of painting in the first half of the fifteenth century. While his achievements testify to his knowledge of the Old Netherlandish painting of his time, they also constitute Witz’s extraordinarily original signature. The uncontested highlight of his work is the Geneva Altar (1444), which features the Biblical scene of Peter fishing embedded in a veduta-like view of Lake Geneva - the first topographically accurate, identifiable landscape in the history of German painting.

There is hardly any doubt among researchers that the approximately twenty panels for four commissioned altars were made by Witz himself. All the more diverse, then, are the opinions about his education, career, sphere of influence, and successors. This publication discusses new theses with respect to Witz’s artistic background.

An exploration of the rivalry between Kuniyoshi and Kunisada, two of the most popular Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock print artists of the nineteenth century, based on masterworks from the peerless Japanese art collection at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Rival ukiyo-e masters Kuniyoshi and Kunisada were the two most admired designers of figure prints in nineteenth-century Japan. Famous for the realism of his portraits of Kabuki actors, the sensuality of his beautiful women and the luxurious settings he imagined for historical scenes, Kunisada was the popular favourite during his lifetime. Kuniyoshi is loved by connoisseurs and collectors today for his dynamic action scenes of warriors and monsters (which foreshadowed present-day manga and anime), his comic prints, and even a few especially daring works that included forbidden political satire in disguise. With scores of illustrations in glorious full colour, this beautifully produced volume presents Kuniyoshi and Kunisada’s artistic rivalry through a selection of outstanding works from the unparalleled Japanese art collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Readers are invited to decide for themselves which of the two is their personal favourite.

L'histoire de Venise se lit dans la peinture.
La cité est née et s'est imposée dès le  Moyen Âge. C'est au IXe siècle que ses bateaux rapportent d'Alexandrie les restes de Marc l'Évangéliste en l'honneur de qui est édifiée la basilique San Marco. Avec Théodore qui domine du haut de sa colonne la Piazzetta, il veillera sur Venise près de mille ans. C'est longtemps vers l'est que la République a tourné ses regards : elle utilise et orchestre la quatrième croisade en 1204 qui lui permet de prendre Constantinople. Et, si le XIVe siècle italien hésite entre le dynamisme de Gênes et la domination de la Sérénissime, la victoire vénitienne de Chioggia installe pour longtemps une prééminence incontestée et tranquille.
Que s'installent les peintres, les graveurs et les imprimeurs, que les humanistes célèbrent la Seigneurie, que le doge épouse la mer et invoque les saints protecteurs de la cité ! Que les églises, les chapelles et les scuole se dressent et célèbrent la République devant laquelle tous les grands se prosternent en même temps qu'elle-même ne s'incline que devant la Vierge Marie ! Car, à célébrer la Mère du Christ dans son apothéose, Venise ne se glorifie-t-elle pas elle-même ?
Et comme s'il ne suffisait pas de préparer le Ciel, il faut que la terre fragile de la cité s'orne des plus beaux édifices, églises, basilique, palais magnifiquement décorés où se rendent avec ostentation les doges en processions pour toutes les fêtes, religieuses ou civiles, qui ponctuent la vie quotidienne .
Le siècle des Lumières verra fleurir au milieu des artistes les poètes et les dramaturges comme la Renaissance avait accueilli les musiciens et les architectes. Premier État moderne occidental, la puissante République survit aux grandes catastrophes européennes jusqu'à la perte de sa liberté quand Bonaparte à la fin du XVIIIe siècle puis les Autrichiens au XIXe siècle et enfin l'Unité italienne s'imposent à elle.
Meurt le temps de la splendeur et des défis. Meurent le dernier des doges et le Sénat vénitien. Meurent les parades du Bucentaure et les grandes processions dans la ville. C'est le temps des fonctionnaires italiens centralisateurs, des voyageurs anglais nonchalants, des touristes français romantiques ou impressionnistes. La République s'est éteinte après avoir éclairé pendant dix siècles l'histoire de l'art de l'Europe dont le ciel a été pour toujours illuminé.
Car l'âge d'or historique de Venise a correspondu, comme rarement ailleurs, à une intense création artistique. À ses armateurs maîtres de la Méditerranée, à ses marchands qui tiennent le commerce européen répondent les œuvres de Carpaccio, Bellini, Véronèse, Le Tintoret, Giorgione, Titien qui célèbrent son éclat et ses victoires, les miracles architecturaux de Sansovino, de Longhena et de Palladio. La « Ville miraculeuse » chantée par Pétrarque, la Venise de Longhi, de Canaletto, de Tiepolo et de Guardi ne s'évanouit que doucement, ombre d'une splendeur devenue exsangue, comme la mémoire de ses rêves d'une République idéale. Quand son pouvoir s'efface, c'est l'Europe qui accourt à ce rendez-vous privilégié où se succèdent Mozart, Goethe, lord Byron, Richard Wagner, Marcel Proust et Thomas Mann. La disparition des peintres officiels fait place aux Delacroix, Turner, Renoir, Monet, Ziem, Sargent qui disent à leur tour l'incomparable éclat qui ne s'éteint jamais et comprennent aussi qu'on ne naît pas Vénitien, on le devient.
Venise raconte désormais son histoire dans une galerie d'images vivantes qu'ont fixées les plus grands artistes qu'elle a inspirés. Des centaines de tableaux, de dessins et de manuscrits à peinture, reproduits avec leurs détails principaux dans un format exceptionnel, composent ce musée imaginaire dont elle est à la fois l'auteur et l'acteur principal.

Tamara de Lempicka and the changing aspects of femininity and masculinity

As the "Goddess of the Automobile Age", Tamara de Lempicka (1898-1980) stood at the centre of the sophisticated Paris art world of the Twenties and Thirties. Her love for beautiful women, elegant automobiles and the modern metropolis provided not only motifs for her pictures, but also influenced her artistic style.

Simultaneously with her career as artist, Tamara de Lempicka pioneered a new image of life on the screen, evident in the new, self-confident woman and the changing aspects of femininity and masculinity. The same sense of style was reflected in a futuristic cult of speed, domestic design forms promulgated by the Bauhaus, and the dandyism of a George Brummell. Tamara de Lempicka’s best-known painting, "Self-Portrait, or Tamara in a Green Bugatti", presents the artist as a female dandy brimming with cool elegance.

Whether as an Art-Déco artist, a post-Cubist or a Neoclasissist, de Lempicka struck the taste of a cosmopolitan (and wealthy) public that found its own image reflected in her work.

The smoothly metallic portraits, nudes and still lifes of Tamara de Lempicka encapsulate the spirit of Art Deco and the Jazz Age, and reflect the elegant and hedonistic life-style of a wealthy, glamorous and privileged elite in Paris between the two World Wars.

Combining a formidable classical technique with elements borrowed from Cubism, de Lempicka’s art represented the ultimate in fashionable modernity while looking back for inspiration to such master portraitists as Ingres and Bronzino.

This book celebrates the sleek and streamlined beauty of her best work in the 1920s and 30s. It traces the extraordinary life story of this talented and glamorous woman from turn of the century Poland and Tsarist Russia, through to her glorious years in Paris and the long years of decline and neglect in America, until her triumphant rediscovery in the 1970s when her portraits gained iconic status and world-wide popularity.
