New and Noteworthy

By Sophie Lillie and Georg Gaugusch Few paintings have captured the public's imagination as thoroughly as Gustav Klimt's 1907 Adele Bloch-Bauer I. Klimt's painting of Adele not only rendered her irresistible beauty and sensuality; its intricate ornamentation and exotic motifs heralded the dawn of modernity and a culture intent on radically forging a new identity. But as synonymous as her likeness has become with Vienna’s Golden Age, the real Adele Bloch-Bauer remained somewhat shielded from the public eye. This book attempts to reveal and honor the remarkable life and legacy of Adele Bloch-Bauer and her husband Ferdinand, and their patronage of one of Austria’s most radical forebears of modernity.

Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer

By Vivian Endicott Barnett Explore the œuvre of Erich Heckel, one of the most important German Expressionist painters of the twentieth century.Erich Heckel, 1883–1970, was one of the co-founders of the Künstlergruppe Brücke (Artists’ Group Bridge), established in Dresden in June 1905. He remained part of the group until it disbanded in May 1913.Despite his seminal role in the establishment of this critical early manifestation of German Expressionism, he has not garnered the same acclaim as his fellow Die Brücke artists such as Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff. As a result, there is a dearth of literature available on him in English and he has never had a solo exhibition in an American museum.This important publication, which accompanies a show at the Neue Galerie New York, aims to redress this oversight. The texts presented in this lavishly illustrated monograph will focus on Heckel’s early career and cover topics ranging from his involvement with Die Brücke; the works he created during his idyllic summers in the Friesian beach resort of Dangast; his military service during World War I; and his bold and expressive woodcuts.Emphasis is placed on his portrait and landscape paintings and his vibrant pictures of bathers, which merge both genres. The authors will address the work he made in Dresden, Berlin, and northern Germany, in addition to his output while serving in Flanders during the war.

Gustav Klimt: Landscapes Set of 3 Standard Notebooks

40 cards with 20 enchanting posters and graphic prints from the Vienna SecessionIn the first decade of the twentieth century, Vienna’s leading modernists and their students developed a bold graphic style that heralded a new age. Debuting their prints and posters in a periodical they called Die Fläche (German for The Surface), graphic artists of the Secession such as Kolomon Moser and Alfred Roller directed design away from older art nouveau forms and toward bold experiments with flat colors, elementary shapes, and expressive lettering. This set of 40 postcards features 20 favorites from Die Fläche, including famed placards for Vienna Secession art exhibitions, works by members of the Wiener Werkstätte arts and crafts collective, and prints from the 1908 Kunstschau, a landmark exhibition organized by Gustav Klimt. Humorous and ethereal designs mix with exquisitely abstract depictions of Vienna as a fashionable modern metropolis. Pioneering women artists such as Hilde Exner, Emma Schlangenhausen, and Valerie Petter-Zeis stand out among the list of contributors, reflecting their important roles in shaping visual culture in the city. As in Die Fläche, artwork by Koloman Moser, Alfred Roller, and other founders of the Secession appear side-by-side with pieces by unsung luminaries such as Max Benirschke and Anton Kling. With faithful reproductions printed on matte cardstock and presented in a handsome box adorned with metallic ink, Secession Style offers a unique collection of mailable artwork from a celebrated modern art movement, making it an attractive gift for lovers of art and design.

Secession Style: Graphic Art from Vienna 1900

By Maurice BetzTranslated by Will Stone "I owe Betz infinite gratitude…a first-rate poet, a creative spirit, and a friend to all creative spirits…an ornament to literary France…an artist with words, lovable and worthy of love" – Thomas Mann "Maurice Betz is one of those artists whose importance only fully appears after they have disappeared" – Marcel Aymé "The Betz translation of The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge constituted a conversation, even a confidence. And this is what makes its perfection so vital. Rilke is more present there than any author translated from book to book. For here was a translation from heart to heart" –Jean Cassou Walking in the Luxembourg Garden, describing encounters with enigmatic diva Eleonora Duse or an irascible Tolstoy: Rainer Maria Rilke’s French translator Maurice Betz enjoyed a rare intimacy with the great poet. This account of their collaborative translation of Rilke’s only novel brings the reader along on a tour of the glittering cultural scene of interwar Paris. An elegant, poignant look at the great writer’s final years, Betz’s memoir, sensitively translated by Will Stone, is a portrait of genius, an evocation of a lost world, and a testament to enduring friendship. Part of the Pushkin Press Classics series: timeless storytelling by icons of literature, hand-picked from around the globe.

Conversations with Rilke

By Sally CarsonPreface by Laura Freeman Crooked Cross describes, through the eyes of one ordinary family, the Nazis’ growth in power between December 1932 and August 1933. It is extraordinarily prescient, anticipating all the horrors they were about to inflict on the world, and in this respect it joins a small group of novels, PB no. 39 Manja and PB no. 136 The Oppermanns among them, which were written to try to alert the world to what was happening. The main focus of the novel is on disaffected German youth: it shows with great subtlety that by the early 1930s there was huge unemployment, and a corresponding feeling of futility, and that what the Nazis did so skillfully was to provide a sense of purpose. Crooked Cross is an incisive account on why some young men who feel disaffected, lost or ignored turn towards authoritarian governments.

Crooked Cross

By Elisabeth de WaalPreface by Edmund de Waal Unpublished during Elisabeth de Waal's lifetime, The Exiles Return is set in Occupied Vienna in 1954-5. It describes five people who grew up there before the war and have come back to see if they can re-establish the life they have lost. As Edmund de Waal writes in his Preface about his grandmother's highly autobiographical novel, she "was Viennese and this is a novel about being Viennese. As such, it is a novel about exile and about return, about the push and pull of love, anger and despair about a place which is part of your identity." With immaculate precision and sensitivity, de Waal, an exile herself, captures a city rebuilding and relearning its identity, and the people who have to do the same. Mesmerizing and tragic, de Waal has written a masterpiece of European literature, an artifact revealing a moment in our history, clear as a snapshot, but timeless as well.

Von Rainer Maria Rilke. Mit einem Vorwort von Ulrich Baer Im Jahr 1902 erhält Rainer Maria Rilke Post von einem jungen Mann, Franz Xaver Kappus, einem literarisch begabten, 19-jährigen Offiziersanwärter. Kappus ist sich nicht sicher, welche Richtung er in seinem Leben einschlagen soll, und fragt daher den großen, nur wenige Jahre älteren Dichter um Rat. Rilke antwortet ihm – auf gänzlich unerwartete Weise. In den folgenden Jahren schreibt er Kappus neun weitere Briefe. Sie reden, mit der ihm eigenen bescheidenen Eindringlichkeit, von nichts Geringerem als dem richtigen Leben. Die von Franz Xaver Kappus 1929 herausgegebene Sammlung der Rilke-Briefe hat Epoche gemacht und ganze Generationen immer wieder inspiriert.

Briefe an einen jungen Dichter

By Megan Brandow-Faller “The strength of Brandow-Faller's study lies in its ability to yoke together disparate cultural realms-Secessionist Vienna and postwar American childhood, and vastly successful designers and pedagogues with those largely forgotten-to reveal surprising and fascinating points of connection.” ―Laura Morowitz, Associate Professor of Art History at Wagner College, New York “A deeply informed examination of three visionary art educators from Vienna-Franz Cizek, Emmy Zweybruck, and Viktor Lownfeld-and their profound influence on progressive art education in the United States.” ―Ellen Winner, Professor Emerita, Psychology & Neuroscience, Boston College “Insightful and compelling, this book draws on previously unexamined sources to explore how three educators disseminated, popularized, and commodified ideas of child art from the Vienna Secession to mid-century modernism.” ―Mary Ann Stankiewicz, Emerita Professor of Art Education, Penn State University Tracing the dissemination of Secessionist ideas of child creativity – from their origination in early-20th century Vienna through to their eventual commodification in postwar America – this book highlights the central role that visual art has played in child education and in nurturing creativity in elementary and preschool curricula. Taking the reader through the ideas of three artistic visionaries and their students – Franz Cižek, and Austrian-American émigrés Emmy Zweybrück and Viktor Löwenfeld – this book reveals how these ideas developed in postwar America through a focus on child-centered methods of 'learning by doing' in artistic practice. By centring the visual arts as a vital educational medium, we see how these teachings have been popularized as a means of nurturing creativity in childhood. Across three chapter length case studies, interspersed with three 'mini chapters' on the reception of each artist-educator's radical teachings in the American education system, Child Creativity and the Visual Arts provides new interpretations into the impact of these three luminaries' differing philosophies on a broader program of socio-political activism in the USA. Drawing on previously untapped archival and primary source materials, it blends deep material culture analysis with narrative elements to present a compelling account of the unrecognized influence of émigré art pedagogy on progressive, international art education. In doing so, it provides fresh transregional and thematic perspectives on early-1900s Vienna as a hotbed of creative and cultural experimentation and 'mecca' of progressive art education.

Child Creativity and the Visual Arts: From Secessionist Vienna to Postwar America

Edited by Megan Brandow-FallerInformed by the analytical practices of the interdisciplinary 'material turn' and social historical studies of childhood, Childhood By Design: Toys and the Material Culture of Childhood offers new approaches to the material world of childhood and design culture for children. This volume situates toys and design culture for children within broader narratives on history, art, design and the decorative arts, where toy design has traditionally been viewed as an aberration from more serious pursuits. The essays included treat toys not merely as unproblematic reflections of socio-cultural constructions of childhood but consider how design culture actively shaped, commodified and materialized shifting discursive constellations surrounding childhood and children. Focusing on the new array of material objects designed in response to the modern 'invention' of childhood-what we might refer to as objects for a childhood by design-Childhood by Design explores dynamic tensions between theory and practice, discursive const– critically linking historical discourses of childhood with close study of material objects and design culture.Chronologically, the volume spans the 18th century, which witnessed the invention of the toy as an educational plaything and a proliferation of new material artifacts designed expressly for children's use; through the 19th-century expansion of factory-based methods of toy production facilitating accuracy in miniaturization and a new vocabulary of design objects coinciding with the recognition of childhood innocence and physical separation within the household; towards the intersection of early 20th-century child-centered pedagogy and modernist approaches to nursery and furniture design; through the changing consumption and sales practices of the postwar period marketing directly to children through television, film and other digital media; and into the present, where the line between the material culture of childhood and adulthood is increasingly blurred.Paperback352 pagesBloomsbury Visual Arts, 20199 x 6 inchesISBN 9781501358890Design History, Art Education

Childhood by Design: Toys and the Material Culture of Childhood, 1700-Present

By Megan Brandow-Faller & Laura Morowitz Erasures and Eradications in Modern Viennese Art, Architecture and Design challenges the received narrative on the artists, exhibitions, and interpretations of Viennese Modernism. The book centers on three main erasures—the erasure of Jewish artists and critics; erasures relating to gender and sexual identification; and erasures of other marginalized figures and movements. Restoring missing elements to the story of the visual arts in early twentieth-century Vienna, authors investigate issues of gender, race, ethnic and sexual identity, and political affiliation. Both well-studied artists and organizations—such as the Secession and the Austrian Werkbund, and iconic figures such as Klimt and Hoffmann—are explored, as are lesser known figures and movements. The book’s thought-provoking chapters expand the chronological contours and canon of artists surrounding Viennese Modernism to offer original, nuanced, and rich readings of individual works, while offering a more diverse portrait of the period from 1890, through World War II and into the present. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, history, design history, architectural history, and European studies.

The Last Miracle: Jewish Stories

By Helen Wolff and Marion Detjen Translated by Tristram Wolff and Jefferson Chase A lush autobiographical story of young love, 1930s Côte d’Azur, and rising fascism in Nazi Germany—by the famed publisher of Calvino, Pasternak, and Gunter Grass “Wolff may not have wanted her book to be seen by outside eyes, but her summer of love is a tale so rich, evocative and forbidden, it is irresistible.”—British Vogue In a giddy rush, a young woman and her older lover leave 1930s Berlin for a summer vacation on the Côte d’Azur. As they drive along stunning bays, linger over sumptuous meals and steal kisses on the street, they seem marvelously in sync, each enchanted by the other. But as she observes her lover’s wandering eye and rigid world-view, the woman decides to leave in search of a cottage of her own near Saint-Tropez. There, amid the vineyards and lemon trees, she will forge startling new connections and pass an unforgettable summer of independence and freedom. Background for Love is an irresistible autobiographical novel by the great publisher Helen Wolff, who together with her husband, Kurt Wolff, Kafka’s first publisher, set up Pantheon Books in America after fleeing Nazi Germany. In the fascinating companion essay, historian Marion Detjen, the author’s great-niece, delves into Helen’s path to writing and the autobiographical context of the novel in her early life with Kurt. Helen is remembered as a great publisher, a multilingual reader who brought authors such as Italo Calvino and Georges Simenon to English-speaking readers – only now is her own reputation as a writer coming to the fore. Recently recovered from the archive and translated for the 1st time by Tristram Wolff, the author’s grandson, this is a a fast-paced, highly intense, and emotionally gripping novel of passion and self-discovery.

Background for Love

By Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz, translated by Philip Boehm A prophetic lost classic from interwar Germany, now translated into English for the first time, following a group of Berliners on the skids as their nation unravels. Berlin in the 1920s is the largest city in Europe, a cultural mecca, and a political mess: a hedonistic Babylon, though there’s little glamor for the hundreds of thousands out of work, the war wounded, the prostitutes, and the beggars. Come evening they too want to shed their cares at the Jolly Huntsman pub, where they gather to drink, dance, and reassert their pride. But there’s disaster lurking in the alleys and flophouses, a disaster that the twenty-two-year-old author Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz saw coming for his nation. In this dark comedy of petty theft, soapbox speeches, and bar fights is the disarray of a country devouring itself. Tragically, Germany’s self-destruction engulfed the author, who was killed five years after finishing this novel. When Boschwitz’s The Passenger was rediscovered in 2021, it was heralded as a masterpiece that captured the terror of the Nazi reign. Now, Berlin Shuffle—his literary debut from 1937, finally available in English, with a preface by the preeminent translator Philip Boehm—brings to life the society that would enable fascism’s takeover. The triumph of one of world literature’s spectacular talents, Berlin Shuffle is a dire warning sent from a pivotal moment in history to our own time.

Berlin Shuffle

By Gabriele TergitTranslated by Sophie Duvernoy "A blend of page-turner and the highest literary quality." ―Der Tagesspiegel "Anyone who reads it will accompany the characters for many decades and take some of them very much to their hearts." ―Berliner Zeitung Three generations of German Jewish family undergo the tumult, upheaval, and brutality of nineteenth and twentieth-century history in this panoramic and skillfully nuanced family drama, rich with gossip and incident, capturing a Germany now lost to time. Gabriele Tergit’s Effingers is a novel, at once epic and intimate, about the lives and fates of three generations of a German Jewish family. Beginning in 1878 and ending in 1948, we follow the Effingers, a family of modest craftsmen from southern Germany, who are joined through marriage to two families of high-society financiers in Berlin, the Goldschmidts and the Oppners. The Effingers soon rise to prominence as one of the most important German industrialist families in Berlin, but with the outbreak of World War I, they fall on hard times and must navigate the tumultuous changes of the Weimar Republic. Full of parties and drama and delicious gossip, and featuring a kaleidoscopic cast of characters, Effingers is a keenly observed account of German Jewish life in all its richness and complexity. Tergit's precise and limpid prose dazzles in Sophie Duvernoy's elegant translation. Woefully underrated when it first appeared in 1951, and only recently rediscovered in Germany, Effingers is a meditation on identity and nationality that establishes Tergit as one of the most significant writers of the twentieth century.

Art Nouveau: Watercolor Postcard Books

Edited with text by Megan Fontanella. Foreword by Mariët Westermann. Text by Victoria Horrocks, Isabelle Jansen, Iris Müller-Westermann, Dorothy Price. A new look at a vanguard modernist artist who reimagined the still life, landscape and portrait genres This landmark publication coincides with the major Guggenheim New York exhibition of works by the remarkable German Expressionist Gabriele Münter. Münter’s painting practice between 1908 and 1920 is the central focus of the exhibition and accompanying book. The study also illuminates her lesser-known later work and includes significant examples of her photography taken during earlier extensive travels in the United States. Münter was notably a cofounder of Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider), a loose and transnational confederation of progressive artists and other creatives, with whom she probed the expressive potential of color and the symbolic resonance of forms. Her introspective portraits during World War II capture the “new woman” and explore questions of gender identity. Highlighting more than 90 paintings, drawings and photographs, this publication not only traces Münter’s pioneering and understudied practice but also challenges accepted historical narratives that have tended to sideline women artists. Reproductions of archival material appear alongside choice selections of the artist's sketches, prints and reverse glass paintings. Thematic texts by renowned scholars explore identity, place, belonging and the embodied experience of modernist women artists during this period. Gabriele Münter (1877–1962) was at the forefront of the German avant-garde in the early 20th century and exhibited extensively at galleries and salons throughout Europe during her lifetime. Along with her artistic colleague and one-time partner, Vasily Kandinsky, Münter was a founder of the influential Expressionist group of artists, Der Blaue Reiter.

Gabriele Münter: Contours of a World

By Hannah ArendtEdited by Jerome Kohn and Thomas Wild A deluxe expanded edition of the masterpiece of political philosophy that transformed how the world thinks about fascism and authoritarianism Includes two fascinating chapters that were later cut and are available in no other edition In 1951, a monumental book by a relatively unknown German-Jewish émigré addressed the terrifying new mode of political organization underlying the twin horrors of Stalinism and Nazism. Herself a refugee from Nazi persecution, Hannah Arendt sought, from her exile in New York City, to answer the unfathomable questions raised by the Soviet gulag and the Holocaust: How could there be such barbarism in the midst of civilization? How had governments exerted such absolute control over citizens, terrorizing them and enlisting them to commit atrocities on their behalf? Arendt’s historical and cultural analyses extend to a thorough examination of nineteenth-century antisemitism in Europe, including a trenchant account of the Dreyfus Affair in France and brilliant insights into imperialism, racism, and their role in totalitarianism’s rise in the 1920s and 1930s. Arendt contends that totalitarianism, as a political system, is now embedded in contemporary life and is, as she would later remark, “the central event of our world.” Her clear-eyed warning that totalitarianism is not merely a historical episode but is rather a permanent feature of modernity and beyond—a danger never to be fully eradicated, and a continual temptation for anti-democratic demagogues—makes Arendt, a half-century after her death, a preeminent thinker and political philosopher for the twenty-first century. The Library of America edition of this indispensable and influential work, based on the final version she revised in her lifetime, also restores to print Arendt’s “Concluding Remarks” to the 1951 first American edition and a chapter on the Soviet suppression of the Hungarian revolt of 1956, both of which were cut from later editions. The first annotated edition of Origins, the volume contains concise and thorough glosses on Arendt’s many historical and cultural references, and its Chronology provides a detailed portrait of her remarkable life.

A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR “A folk horror story with a deceptively light and knowing tone … elegant and genuinely unsettling.” —The New York Times Book Review The Nobel Prize winner’s latest masterwork, set in a sanitarium on the eve of World War I, probes the horrors that lie beneath our most hallowed ideas September 1913. A young Pole suffering from tuberculosis arrives at Wilhelm Opitz’s Guesthouse for Gentlemen in the village of Görbersdorf, a health resort in the Silesian mountains. Every evening the residents gather to imbibe the hallucinogenic local liqueur and debate the great issues of the day: Monarchy or democracy? Do devils exist? Are women born inferior? War or peace? Meanwhile, disturbing things are happening in the guesthouse and the surrounding hills. Someone—or something—seems to be watching, attempting to infiltrate this cloistered world. Little does the newcomer realize, as he tries to unravel both the truths within himself and the mystery of the sinister forces beyond, that they have already chosen their next target.

The Empusium: A Health Resort Horror Story [Paperback]

By Siegfried KracauerAfterword by Johannes von MoltkeTranslated by Carl Skoggard “The reissue of this novel now is valuable, beyond its considerable historical and aesthetic virtues, because it makes pertinent points about today’s world, bedeviled by war, misery, poverty, and the enticing lure of despotism as an answer to democracy’s shortcomings.” —Thomas Filbin, The Arts Fuse “Ginster’s name belongs with modern literature’s antiwar activists from the Good Soldier Švejk to Yossarian.” —Kirkus Reviews When World War I breaks out, a young architecture student in Munich does everything in his power to avoid being enlisted into the German military in this perceptive, wickedly humorous novel by a prominent twentieth-century writer, journalist, and film critic. Siegfried Kracauer’s Ginster is the great World War I novel you’ve never heard of. Here, the sheer horrors are kept offstage, as in Greek tragedy, and merely reported from time to time. The setting is the German home front. Its Chaplinesque antihero—Ginster—spends the war gumming up the German war machine as he maneuvers to stay out of its clutches and save his own skin. Which he does; however, there is a deeper struggle going on between Ginster’s dreamy self-absorption and the pitiless organization of society, war or no war. Ginster has no wish to do anything. Alas, his reveries are forever being interrupted by the demands of an other-minded world. All the scenes of Ginster are well to the rear of the military action, yet with Kracauer narrating, military language saturates all aspects of civilian life in the homeland. Ginster’s nearest and dearest are so gung-ho, he feels that he’s at the front when he visits them. War, the author seems to say, is merely ordinary life seen from the back instead of the front. As a new European war darkens our horizon, one no more expected than was World War I, Kracauer’s novel feels timelier than ever.

Ginster

By Ludwig Wittgenstein Introduction by Jan Zwicky Translated by Alexander Booth One of the greatest philosophical works of all time, in a new translation for the twenty-first century Widely regarded as one of the most influential philosophical works of the twentieth century, Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus is a succinct yet wide-ranging exploration of language and logic, science and mysticism, which has inspired generations of thinkers, artists and poets. In a series of short, bold statements, Wittgenstein seeks to define the limits of language, its relation to logic, its power and its inherent failings. Originally published in the early 1920s, it is the only book-length work the renowned philosopher published in his lifetime. In this thrilling new translation, Alexander Booth displays an extraordinary sensitivity to the subtle influence on Wittgenstein’s gem-like prose–at once specialist and, often, remarkably plain-spoken–considering his background in mechanical engineering, while highlighting the underlying poetry of this seminal text.

Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus: The New Translation

By Morten Høi Jensen “A nuanced portrait . . . thoughtful [and] perceptive.” —Kirkus Reviews “The Master of Contradictions is many things: a biography of Thomas Mann’s The Magic Mountain, a history of the Weimar Republic, and a story about one reader’s relationship to the most beguiling novel of the twentieth century. Morten Høi Jensen writes from a place of profound feeling and deep erudition. He is the perfect guide to the novel’s intricate, enchanted world; I did not want to stop exploring it with him.” —Merve Emre, contributing writer, New Yorker The arresting story of how Thomas Mann wrote The Magic Mountain as a defeated Germany descended into political chaos Like many writers of his generation, Thomas Mann (1875–1955) welcomed the outbreak of the First World War. He viewed it as a spiritual necessity, a chance to reassert German cultural dominance over Western ideas of democracy and enlightenment. Then, in 1924, he published The Magic Mountain, a massive novel that culminates in the slaughter of war and foreshadows the Nazi terror to come. One of the central achievements of modernism, The Magic Mountain bears testimony to its author’s dramatic political reorientation as a defender of democracy. This poignant book is a biography of Mann’s great novel—its evolution from a short story into a two-volume masterpiece and one of the bestselling novels of the Weimar era. Deftly weaving together elements of biography, history, and literary criticism, Morten Høi Jensen reveals how writing The Magic Mountain against a backdrop of world war, revolution, hyperinflation, and rising right-wing terror moved Mann to embrace the democratic and humanistic ideas he once scorned. One hundred years after The Magic Mountain was first published, at a time when democratic ideas are again under threat, Jensen reveals the universality and timeliness of Mann’s great novel—its still-resonant debates over democracy and tyranny, time and place, illness and death.

The Master of Contradictions: Thomas Mann and the Making of "The Magic Mountain"

By Paul Greenhalgh Leading expert Paul Greenhalgh presents a groundbreaking visual and scholarly journey through Art Nouveau – spanning 26 countries and enriched with stunning new photography. The Art Nouveau style dramatically impacted architecture, transforming attitudes to late-19th and early-20th century building practices, and making possible the rise of the various Modern Movements in architecture and design. Formed by the social and political environments of this turbulent period in European history, Art Nouveau was a complex, multifaceted phenomenon from its inception, changing shape continually through time and from country to country. This book unravels the various threads that constituted the style, offering fresh philosophical and aesthetic perspectives and providing a definition of what Art Nouveau actually was, and what it meant to its architects and designers. For the first time in a single volume, it shows the extraordinary spread of the style including in countries not usually recognized as being part of the story, with twenty-six countries represented through superb new photography. The author and photographer had privileged access to many famous buildings, as well as lesser-known architectural masterpieces. Uniquely, this book also considers the later heritage of Art Nouveau, and its long-term effects on subsequent architecture.

Art Nouveau: The Architecture of Modern Life

By Christopher Long How the architects of the Vienna Secession turned their principles inward, creating a new trend in interior design In The New Interior, architectural historian Christopher Long examines how, over the course of the seven years preceding World War I, three leading Viennese modernists—Josef Hoffmann, Adolf Loos and Oskar Strnad—redefined the idea of the modern interior. While their building designs shaped Vienna’s urban landscape and exemplified the famous Secession movement, these three architects also applied their eclectic principles to domestic interiors, or Wohnkultur (meaning "living" or "dwelling culture"). This book follows the progress of their debates and works, and how each designer sought to frame his own distinctive vision of living. The result was a split between the imperatives of style, function and livability that is still in play today. Christopher Long is the Martin S. Kermacy Centennial Professor in the School of Architecture at the University of Texas at Austin.

The New Interior: Viennese Domestic Design and the Beginnings of the Wiener Wohnkultur 1907-1914

By Sandra Dzialek, Kerstin Jesse, Jane Kallir, Hannes Leidinger, Edith Schiele, Hans-Peter Wipplinger, Simone HöniglEdited by Kerstin Jesse, Jane Kallir, Hans-Peter Wipplinger This spring, the Leopold Museum is dedicating a large-scale monographic exhibition to the central artist of the Leopold Collection, Egon Schiele (1890–1918). Changing Times. Egon Schiele’s Last Years: 1914–1918 is the first presentation to shine the spotlight on the artist’s late oeuvre. The eccentric exceptional artist only had around ten years of activity before he died at the age of 28 from the “Spanish Flu.” Throughout this decade, Schiele created a comprehensive oeuvre, which is best known for his key paintings and the drawings he realized between 1910 and 1913, in which he addressed his own mental states as well as the self-questioning and inner conflicts of an entire generation. From 1914, right in the middle of his professional career, Schiele faced dramatic changes both of a private and historical nature, which he was forced to adapt to and which impacted on his oeuvre. His previous introspection gave way to a new focus on external realities and novel themes, altering his artistic style.

Changing Times. Egon Schiele's Last Years: 1914-1918

By Adrian SudhalterWith essays by Mary E. Bauer, Joe Bucciero, Olaf Peters, and Melissa Venator An overview of the paintings, drawings, and prints of the New Objectivity painter Carl Grossberg, who depicted German industry between the wars. Carl Grossberg’s (1894–1940) painting career was bracketed by the two world wars. He drew his subject matter from “the enormous wealth of new forms in the world of technology,” recognizing both its potential and dangers. The publication examines the paintings, drawings, and prints of the German New Objectivity painter in the Merrill C. Berman Collection. Long associated with the German New Objectivity movement of the 1920s, Grossberg is revered for his precise paintings of industry, devoid of human figures but vibrant with color. His “Dream Pictures” envision industrial settings inhabited by unexpected creatures, such as monkeys, bats and birds, which act to destabilize the certainty of such materialized rationalism. This lavishly illustrated book takes an unprecedented object-based approach and focuses on the reception of the works during the artist’s lifetime. It highlights his Bauhaus training, his interrelated practices as a painter and interior designer, the centrality of commissions, and his relationship with the National Socialist regime after 1933. It is a robust study of Carl Grossberg’s work and life with a full scholarly armature including historical photographs, documents and publications.

Carl Grossberg: New Forms in the World of Technology

By A. Grunewald; A. Hultzsch; S. Nozawa e.a. When Ise Gropius (1897–1983) embarked on a three-month trip to Japan with her husband, architect Walter Gropius, in 1954, she proved to be a gifted chronicler. In detailed reports – her only known cohesive writings from the post-war period – she vividly describes the country and its people. With keen wit and understanding, she comments on everything from discussions about reconstruction, lectures, and the Bauhaus exhibition in Tokyo, to evening parties, the role of Japanese women, Zen Buddhism, and the local cuisine. Extensively annotated by art historian and editor Almut Grunewald, this volume publishes Ise’s travelogues in facsimile for the first time.

Botar, Annie Bourneuf, Hana Buddeus, Özge Baykan Calafato, Meghan Forbes, Christelle Havranek, Michelle Henning, Rolf Sachsse, Robin Schuldenfrei, Steffen Siegel, Jan Tichy, Jordan Troeller A prolific writer, photographer, portraitist and documentarian, Lucia Moholy (1894–1989) defies categorization. She was as active in avant-garde circles as she was in the field of information science, advancing an expansive understanding of visual reproduction. While previous publications on Moholy have limited her accomplishments to the five years she spent at the Bauhaus, Exposures presents the full breadth of her writings and photographs for the first time. Extensive essays drawing on new archival discoveries offer insights into her early life in turn-of-the-century Prague, her involvement in the radical social movements of the 1920s in Weimar Germany, her wartime documentations via microfilm and her work in the Middle East on behalf of UNESCO. Acknowledging her reception by contemporary artists such as Jan Tichy, the publication demonstrates how Moholy’s interdisciplinary approach to photography anticipated the medium’s post-analog present.

Lucia Moholy: Exposures

By Paul KleeTexts by Michael Baumgartner, Dr. Christine Hopfengart, Fabienne Eggelhöfer, Osamu Okuda Back in print, the most authoritative overview on the beloved Bauhaus Renaissance man and pioneer of abstraction, the first artist to "take a line for a walk" Paul Klee (1879-1940) is one of the most important representatives of modern art. His oeuvre is as universal as it is individual, standing tall among all of the currents and "isms" of his day. His overwhelming body of paintings, drawings, and other visual works; his letters, journal entries, and, last but not least, his teaching notes form the background for this pointed depiction of the life and work of the meditative artist and visual thinker. This richly illustrated volume traces Klee's eventful biography, ranging from his artistic beginnings with caricature-like drawings and nudes, his encounter with the avant-garde and the famous watercolors from his journey to Tunisia, the abstract color compositions from the Bauhaus era, to the mysterious, inventive images of his last years in Bern.

Paul Klee: Life and Work

Edited by Ortrud Westheider and Michael Philipp Spanning six decades, three continents, and multiple mediums, this exhibition catalog explores one of the most significant and influential artistic movements of the twentieth century. At the beginning of the twentieth century, painting underwent a profound transformation. Artists no longer wanted to depict the visible; they aspired to a new visual language that reduced artistic expression to an interplay of colors, lines, and shapes; reflected the modern world; and transcended national boundaries. A central figure of this art movement was Wassily Kandinsky, who laid the theoretical foundations with his work Point and Line to Plane. This lushly illustrated and highly researched volume showcases how Geometric Abstraction found radical expression in all its variations in Europe, the USA and beyond. It features more than one hundred works by over seventy artists, including Josef Albers, Sonia Delaunay, Barbara Hepworth, El Lissitzky, Agnes Martin, Piet Mondrian, Bridget Riley, Frank Stella, and Victor Vasarely. Essays by leading scholars illuminate the ways these artists were inspired by the advanced technologies and theories of their time, including concepts of the fourth dimension and the space- time continuum. The authors explore the movement through a transnational lens—from Belgium, Germany, and Great Britain, to France, Italy, the Netherlands, Russia, Spain, and the United States; and emphasize the long-neglected role of women in the movement’s advancement. Through its insightful essays and stunning visuals, this volume offers a definitive exploration of how geometric abstraction revolutionized modern art and continues to inspire artists across the globe.

The Blue Rider (Masters of Art)

Edited by Iris Müller-WestermannWith Essays by Meike Hoffmann, Christiane Remm, Lisa Marie Schmidt, Aya Soika, and Gitte Ørskou Reverberations of the young rebels and influencers in the artist group Brücke. The artist group Brücke is Germany’s most important contribution to international modernism. The group was formed in Dresden in 1905 by four young architecture students: Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Otto Bleyl, Erich Heckel, and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff. Together they developed a painting style with vivid colors, simplified forms, and large color fields that express internal feelings rather than reproducing an external reality. The group disbanded in 1913, but their collaboration and marketing strategies have been inspirational for several generations of artists. These young artists wanted to renew art and life in the German Imperial Empire and break with the prevailing moral norms of the day. They were interested in topics like man and nature; the naked body; portraits; self-portraits; the merging of life and art; and life in the vibrant metropolis of Berlin. In a time like the present, when a young generation feels the need for a new way of living, thinking, and organizing, reflecting on Brücke feels particularly relevant.

German Expressionism: The Artist Group Brücke and the Beginnings of Modernism

By Kai Uwe Schierz, Patrick Rössler, Miriam Krautwurst, & Elizabeth Otto In 1919, the program of the State Bauhaus school in Weimar promised a modern education for the talented, regardless of age and gender, which drew many young women to apply. The Bauhaus-Girl ("Bauhausmädel") Type, described in a January 1930 issue of the magazine Die Woche, knew what she wanted and would succeed. This volume's essays question the euphoria of the time period with the knowledge of Bauhaus members' subsequent destinies. The essays take as exemplary the biographies of Gertrud Arndt, Marianne Brandt, Margarete Heymann, and Margaretha Reichardt, both during their training and as Bauhaus graduates.

Herausgegeben von Anke Blümm, Elizabeth Otto, Patrick Rössler Bauhaus und Nationalsozialismus galten bis weit nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg als unvereinbare Gegensätze. Der Band versammelt neueste Erkenntnisse zum ambivalenten Schaffen Bauhausangehöriger nach 1933. Wir stehen mitten im Existenzkampf und haben höchstens ein Restchen alter Ideale in ganz, ganz persönliche Gebiete retten können, aber nie werden Sie erfahren, was die Bauhäusler in Prag, Paris und Berlin wirklich tun«, schrieb der frühere Bauhaus-Student Ernst Göhl 1935 an den langjährigen Direktor Walter Gropius. In 15 biografischen Studien verdeutlicht der Band anhand neuester Forschungsergebnisse, wie sich Bauhausangehörige, die nach 1933 in Deutschland verblieben waren, mit den neuen Machthabern im NS-Staat arrangierten. Von den Konflikten mit völkisch-nationalen Kräften während der Weimarer Republik ausgehend, zeigen Untersuchungen renommierter deutscher und internationaler Autorinnen und Autoren – u.a. zu Wassily Kandinsky und Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Else Mögelin und Wilhelm Wagenfeld – das breite Spektrum im Umgang mit dem verbrecherischen NS-Regime. Die seit über 30 Jahren erste umfassende Auseinandersetzung mit dem ambivalenten Verhältnis von Bauhaus und Nationalsozialismus wendet sich an Kunsthistorikerinnen und Kunsthistoriker mit Schwerpunkt auf der Geschichte der Moderne im 20. Jahrhundert, aber auch an alle, die sich für die vielfältigen Schicksale von Künstlerinnen und Künstlern in einer Diktatur interessieren.

...ein Restchen alter Ideale: Bauhäuslerinnen und Bauhäusler im Nationalsozialismus

von Lilli Hollein, Claudia Cavallar, und Anne-Katrin Rossberg Dagobert Peche, einer der exzentrischsten Gestalter*innen der Wiener Moderne, ließ die Formensprache der berühmten Wiener Werkstätte gleichsam explodieren: Mit opulenten, von der Natur inspirierten Dekoren und einer revolutionären Ästhetik verlieh er Gebrauchsgegenständen eine bis dahin unbekannte Vielschichtigkeit. Peche arbeitete mit unterschiedlichsten Materialien - Silber, Glas, Keramik, Leder und Papier - und entwarf Schmuck, Möbel, Ausstellungs-Displays sowie sensationelle Stoffmuster. In wenig mehr als 10 Jahren schuf er ein OEuvre, das die Kunst- und Designwelt bis heute fasziniert und inspiriert. Die Publikation widmet sich dem ureigenen Kosmos des Künstlers in sieben Kapiteln - von "Arkadien " bis "Unheimlich" - und verfolgt seine Ausstrahlung vom Art-déco-Stil über die Postmoderne bis in die Gegenwart. Dagobert Peche, one of the most eccentric designers of Viennese Modernism, virtually blew apart the stylistic idiom of the famous Wiener Werkstätte: with opulent decorations inspired by nature and a revolutionary aesthetic, he lent practical objects a hitherto unknown complexity. Peche worked with a wide range of materials - silver, glass, ceramic, leather, and paper - designing jewelry, furniture, and exhibition displays, as well as sensational fabric patterns. In little over a decade he created an oeuvre that has fascinated and inspired the worlds of art and design ever since. Divided into seven chapters - from "Arcadia" to "Uncanny" - this publication is dedicated to the artist's unique cosmos and traces his impact from Art Deco to Postmodernism to the present day.

By Franz WerfelTranslated by Geoffrey Dunlop and James Reidel “In every sense a true and thrilling novel....It tells a story which it is almost one’s duty as an intelligent human being to read. And one’s duty here becomes one's pleasure also.” —New York Times Book Review “For Armenians, it remains unique and precious...it’s the one work whose urgency and passion keeps the truth of their genocide before the eyes of a world that would prefer to forget about it. For Jewish readers, Werfel’s epic about the choice between submitting to the killers or dying on the barricade is still poignant. In several ghettos where the Nazis held Jewish populations before murdering them, The Forty Days of Musa Dagh was passed from hand to hand and became the inspiration—almost the manual—for the sacrificial ghetto risings that followed. Werfel wins an argument with the world’s indifference—and wins it crushingly.” —London Review of Books The heroic story of resistance during the Armenian genocide. When the Turkish government ordered the deportation of Armenians, several villages in the mountains chose not to obey. Instead, they fortified a plateau on the slopes of Musa Dagh and repelled Turkish soldiers and military police during the summer of 1915 while holding out hope that the warships of the Allies would save them. An international bestseller when first published in 1933, and the first novel in modern times to capture genocide by a state, Franz Werfel's masterpiece brought the world's attention to this devastating crime against humanity and the Armenian people.
