Ferdinand Hodler

Edited by Jill Lloyd and Ulf Kuster Ferdinand Hodler’s emotionally loaded landscapes and ritualized portraits were among the earliest harbingers of Expressionist painting in Europe, and a key bridge between the idioms of late-nineteenth-century Symbolism, Realism and modernist Expressionism. This volume gathers a selection of Hodler’s best-loved work: his famous late paintings, in which figures are heavily stylized and landscapes are pared down to simple effects of mood and color; his outstanding works on paper; and the much-acclaimed, extremely moving series of works chronicling the illness and early death of the artist’s lover, Valentine Godé-Darel. A documentary section reproduces letters, sketchbooks and photographs that illuminate the relationship between Hodler and Godé-Darel. Central to this publication is the role that series and variations play throughout Hodler’s oeuvre--most famously in his groups of figures arranged in ritualized poses, a style to which he gave the name “Parallelism.” This volume reveals Hodler both as a painter of great emotional intensity and as a crucial progenitor of the Expressionist worldview.

Von Diana BlomeAus der Kombination von Blumen und Figuren generierte Hodler immer wieder neue Bildfindungen. Die grundlegenden Eigenschaften des Floralen – Symbol für den Lebenszyklus sowie ornamentale Linienführung und expressive Farbigkeit – bestimmte nicht nur die Kunsttheorie des Malers, sondern ebneten ihm auch den Weg, um seine Gemälde an die Schwelle der Abstraktion zu führen. Der Vergleich mit Cuno Amiet, Vincent van Gogh, Gustav Klimt und anderen Künstlern der Moderne bietet erhellende Einsichten in Hodlers Nutzung des floralen Formenrepertoires.Hardcover448 SeitenText in GermanHirmer Verlag, 20217.4 x 1.6 x 9.6 inchesISBN 9783777436531Artist Monographs, Ferdinand Hodler
