His famous large paintings with musical and theatrical associations transformed into veritable environments. The catalog explores the evolution of a Gesamtkunstwerk in the work of Kandinsky including essays by leading Kandinsky scholars on painting as a total work of art, or the artist’s interest in music and theatre. Separated into three sections, it illustrates how Kandinsky’s fascination for the Wagnerian concept of the Gesamtkunstwerk and the principles of synesthesia developed into large-scale painting within the context of the two highly significant artistic groups Blaue Reiter and Bauhaus, as well as in response to the changing historical circumstances, last but not least, culminating in his large-scale decorative utopian murals and installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease note that Rare\/Out-of-Print titles are very limited in stock.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHardcover\u003cbr\u003e208 pages | 192 black-and-white and color illustrations\u003cbr\u003eNeue Galerie New York\u003cbr\u003eHatje Cantz, 2013\u003cbr\u003e23.50 x 28.50 cm\u003cbr\u003eISBN 9783775737340\u003cbr\u003eNeue Galerie Exhibition Catalogue, Art History, Essays, Movements \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":371079161,"sku":"9783775737340","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0175\/8594\/products\/Vasily-Kandinsky-From-Blaue-Reiter-to-the-Bauhaus-1910-1925_Vivian-Endicott-Barnett_Shulamith-Behr_Christian-Derouet_Reinhold-Heller_Jill-Lloyd_Peter-Vergo_Rose-Carol-Washton-Long.jpg?v=1592847890"},{"product_id":"kandinsky-4","title":"Kandinsky (Basic Art Series 2.0)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy Hajo Düchting\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver the course of his artistic career, Wassily Kandinsky (1866–1944) transformed not only his own style, but the course of art history. From early figurative and landscape painting, he went on to pioneer a spiritual, emotive, rhythmic use of color and line and is today credited with creating the first purely abstract work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs much a teacher and theorist as he was a practicing artist, Kandinsky's interests in music, theater, poetry, philosophy, ethnology, myth, and the occult, were all essential components to his painting and engraving. He was involved with both the influential Blaue Reiter and Bauhaus groups and left a legacy not only of dazzling visual work, but also of highly influential treatises such as \u003cem\u003eConcerning the Spiritual In Art\u003c\/em\u003e. Key tenets included the connections between painting, music and mystical experience, and the purification of art away from material realism and towards an emotional expression, condensed in particular by color.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book presents key Kandinsky works to introduce his repertoire of vivid colors, forms, and feelings.

This richly illustrated publication looks at Kandinsky anew, through a critical lens, reframing our understanding of this vital figure of European modernism, who was also a prolific aesthetic theorist and writer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA series of multidisciplinary essays considers his nuanced relationships with the avant-garde artistic communities in which he lived and made art; the influence of anarchism and radical ecology; experimental methods of improvisation exploring the interplay between sight and sound; his place among Bauhaus peers whose contributions have been underrecognized; and his return, toward the end of his life, to long-held cultural interests that date back to his early years in Russia. Tracing Kandinsky’s life and work through his years in Moscow, several cities in Germany, and Paris, the texts offer striking new insights into an artist whose creative production and style were intimately tied to a sense of place—and displacement—and evolved amid the political and social upheavals catalyzed by the Russian Revolution and World Wars I and II.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKandinsky’s history is closely linked to that of the Guggenheim Museum. Solomon R. Guggenheim began collecting the artist’s work in 1929; a year later, they would meet at the Bauhaus, in Dessau. This book highlights more than ninety works from the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation’s preeminent Kandinsky holdings, presenting the full arc of his artistic development and career. Included are paintings in oil and oil with sand, reverse-glass paintings, as well as woodcuts, watercolors, and drawings on paper. An illustrated chronicle of Kandinsky’s life and career, including selected exhibitions and publications, rounds out the volume.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHardcover\u003cbr\u003e196 pages | 125 color images, 55 black-and-white images\u003cbr\u003eGuggenheim Museum, 2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e8.74 x 10 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e9780892075591\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExhibition Catalogue, Avant-Garde\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42042069844136,"sku":"9780892075591","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0175\/8594\/products\/kandinsky-around-the-circle-Copy.jpg?v=1645817232"},{"product_id":"art-for-all-art-history","title":"Art for All: Art History","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy Barbara Hess, Cathrin Klingsöhr-Leroy,Karin H.

Each approach was distinct in aesthetic and philosophy, but all had immediate impact and enduring influence. Many great names were indelibly associated with one, some explored several during their careers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImpressionism, led by Monet and Renoir, focused on light and color, capturing fleeting moments and challenging academic art's rigidity. Expressionism was driven by artists like Edvard Munch and Wassily Kandinsky to convey raw emotion, distorting reality to reflect the angst of human experience. Surrealists, like Salvador Dalí and René Magritte, explored the subconscious, dreams, and the irrational, blending reality with fantasy across art, literature, and film. With Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko leading the charge, Abstract Expressionism emphasized spontaneity and emotion through bold, gestural brushstrokes, and established New York as the post-war art world’s new Mecca. Finally, artists like Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol gained fame and dominated the zeitgeist by synthesizing advertising, pop culture, and high art into Pop Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough diverse, these movements collectively pushed the boundaries of creativity, redefined artistic expression, and altered the trajectory of contemporary art.
