However, it was not until the late nineteenth century that it reemerged as a novel modernist method. This catalog begins with Arnold Böcklin's comic-grotesque pictorial compositions, and brings together a dazzling array of artists-including Paul Klee, Max Klinger, Alfred Kubin, Emil Nolde, and Max Ernst-who, inspired by his example, forged a unique aesthetic with enormous consequences for modern German art. Essays consider the connection between the visual arts and the rise of cabaret culture and satirical journals. In addition, the authors examine the legacy of the comic-grotesque in relation to the denunciation of Böcklin's art and its eventual reemergence in the work of the Dadaists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\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\u003cbr\u003eNeue Galerie New York\u003cbr\u003ePrestel, 2004\u003cbr\u003e11.5 x 9.6 x 1 inches\u003cbr\u003eISBN 9783791331959\u003cbr\u003eNeue Galerie Exhibition Catalogue, Modernism, Dadaism, Essays \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":263502678,"sku":"9783791331959","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0175\/8594\/products\/ComicGrotesque_NGCat-2022.jpg?v=1652628491","url":"https:\/\/neue-galerie-design-shop.myshopify.com\/products\/comic-grotesque-wit-and-mockery-in-german-art-1870-1940","provider":"Neue Galerie Design Shop \u0026 Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
