DOWNLOAD EBOOKUlrich Weisstein's collection of 21 essays offers a comparative study of Expressionism as a Modernist movement whose dynamic core lay in Germany and Austria-Hungary, but which transformed artistic practices in other European countries. The focus, Weisstein argues, must be strictly and sharply aimed at a specific body of works and opinionsa relatively dense core surrounded by a less clearly defined fringe zoneindigenous to the German speaking countries. The volume spans an Expressionist period extending from roughly 1910 to 1925. Weisstein himself contributes two introductory chapters on problems of definition and a thoughtful analysis of English Vorticism. An ample context is set by comparative essays concerned with international movements such as Futurism that had an impact on German Expressionist drama, prose, and poetry, together with essays on the adaptation of Expressionist forms in countries such as Poland, Russia, Hungary, South Slavic nations and the United States. These essays call attention to representative authors and artists, as well as to periodicals and artistic circles. Reviewers have praised not only the presentation of literary links and interaction among national cultures, but especially the most rewarding interdisciplinary essays on Dada and on Expressionist painting, music, and film.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Routledge Companion to Expressionism in a Transnational Context is a challenging exploration of the transnational formation, dissemination, and transformation of expressionism outside of the German-speaking world, in regions such as Central and Eastern Europe, the Baltics and Scandinavia, Western and Southern Europe, North and Latin America, and South Africa, in the first half of the twentieth century. Comprising a series of essays by an international group of scholars in the fields of art history and literary and cultural studies, the volume addresses the intellectual discussions and artistic developments arising in the context of the expressionist movement in the various art centers and cultural regions. The authors also examine the implications of expressionism in artistic practice and its influence on modern and contemporary cultural production. Essential for an in-depth understanding and discussion of expressionism, this volume opens up new perspectives on developments in the visual arts of this period and challenges the traditional narratives that have predominantly focused on artistic styles and national movements.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExpressionism 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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBerlin, a cosmopolitan hotspot and the capital of the first German democracy, was synonymous with artistic pluralism during the interwar years. In Berlin, located at a crossroads between East and West, art was closely linked to an everyday reality that was marked by crisis, social change, and decadence. It was a city where artists often painted a gloomy reality, despite the hope of renewal and a desire for peace after the First World War. Focusing on Berlin as a vibrant cultural metropolis, this book pays special attention to the social changes and utopian ideals of the period between 1912 and 1932: the New Man, the New Woman, the New Objectivity, the New Building, and the New Vision. Through paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs and films by artists such as Otto Ten, Raul Hausmann, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Kazimir Malevich, and Alexander Rodchenko, the key creative minds of this striking period come to life. SELLING POINTS: * Explores the urban upheavals and politicised artistic milieu of Berlin between 1912 and 1932 * Includes work by major artists of the period, including Ten, Rodchenko, Malevich, Kirschner, Grosz, and Hausman. 160 colour, 80 b/w images

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe brash young artist James Ensor painted Christ's Entry into Brussels in 1889 during a period of extraordinary artistic and political fomentation in his native Belgium. It is one of the most dazzling, innovative, and perplexing paintings created in Europe in the late nineteenth century, rivaling any work of its period in audacity and ambition. Huge in scale, complex in design and execution, and brimming with social commentary, the startling canvas presents a scene filled with clowns, masked figures, and--barely visible amid the swirling crowds--the tiny figure of Christ on a donkey entering the city of Brussels. This insightful volume examines the painting in light of Belgium's rich artistic, social, political, and theological debates in the late nineteenth century, and in the context of James Ensor's exceptional career, in order to decipher some of the painting's messages and meanings.
