The Neue Galerie New York opened in November 2001, showcasing its collection of Austrian and German art from 1890 to 1940. This publication is issued in celebration of the museum’s twentieth anniversary and includes a number of major new acquisitions. The Austrian holdings encompass significant paintings by Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Oskar Kokoschka, Carl Moll, and Richard Gerstl. Decorative arts made by the Wiener Werkstätte (Vienna Workshops, 1903-32) are another area of strength, in particular the designs of Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser, and Dagobert Peche. The German holdings emphasize the Expressionist movement, with canvases by members of the Brücke, including Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Max Pechstein, and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff. Artists affiliated with the Blaue Reiter (Blue Rider), such as Vasily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, August Macke, Franz Marc, and Gabriele Münter, figure prominently. The Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity) movement is well represented by Max Beckmann, Otto Dix, George Grosz, and Christian Schad. Works by leading proponents of Dada are another special interest, with a focus on John Heartfield, Hannah Höch, and Kurt Schwitters. Iconic creations by members of the Bauhaus represent additional highlights, including objects by Marcel Breuer, Marianne Brandt, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Wilhelm Wagenfeld, as well as art by Lyonel Feininger, László Moholy-Nagy, and Oskar Schlemmer.Hardcover280 pages; 327 color illustrations, 3 b/w illustrationsPrestel, 20219.25 x 11.25 inchesISBN 9783791379531Neue Galerie Exhibition Catalogue

German Expressionist Woodcuts

By Andreas PlatthausEr prägte das von Walter Gropius gegründete Bauhaus, dem er als einziger Meister vom ersten bis zum letzten Tag angehörte – von 1919 bis zur Auflösung durch die Nationalsozialisten 1933 –, wie kaum ein Zweiter. Mit seinen Freunden Paul Klee und Wassily Kandinsky revolutionierte er die Kunst. Später wurde er so populär und von der Alltagskultur eingemeindet, dass man Bilder von ihm als Plakate bei einem großen schwedischen Möbelhaus kaufen konnte: Lyonel Feininger. 1871 in New York geboren, hielt er sich von seinem siebzehnten Lebensjahr an fast ein halbes Jahrhundert lang in Deutschland auf. Den Großteil dieser Zeit verbrachte er in Berlin, wo sich auch die rätselhaftesten Episoden seines Lebens abspielten. Warum blieb er, obwohl als "feindlicher Ausländer" registriert, während des Ersten Weltkriegs? Und warum verließ er, obwohl mit einer Jüdin verheiratet und Vater dreier Söhne, Nazi-Deutschland erst 1937? In der Persönlichkeit des Malers spiegelt sich das Dilemma einer doppelten Exil-Existenz im 20. Jahrhundert.Andreas Platthaus, der für dieses Buch zahlreiche Archivbestände auswerten konnte, erzählt das Leben eines Mannes, der sich im steten Zwiespalt zwischen amerikanischem und deutschem Selbstverständnis befand.Hardcover448 pagesText in GermanRowohlt Berlinm, 20215.7 x 8.6 inchesISBN 9783737101165Biography

Lyonel Feininger - Porträt eines Lebens

By Ulricht Luckhardt Elegant sailing ships, expansive seascapes, crystal-clear panoramas of cityscapes—with his unique pictorial language and range of subjects, Lyonel Feininger (1871–1956) became one of the most important artists of classic modernism, and his works remain popular to this day. This volume brilliantly showcases Feininger’s artistic development from his early works to his last paintings. We follow Feininger from Paris in the 1900s, when he abandoned his successful career as a caricaturist to pursue fine art, to his early paintings peopled with grotesque, wild, risqué figures inspired by the streets of Paris, to his discovery of the geometric pictorial style for which he would become famous. Featuring photographs and extracts from the unpublished diary of his wife Julia, this artist monograph provides in-depth insight into the life and work of an iconic modernist artist.

Lyonel Feininger (Great Masters of Art)

Edited by Cathrin Klingsöhr-Leroy “Are there still any surprises left to be had when it comes to German Expressionism?” asks the writer Michael Kumpfmüller. This beautifully produced volume demonstrates that there are, inviting readers on a stroll through the world of Expressionism with seldom considered artwork and literary excerpts that probe German Expressionism’s continued resonance today.Colorful, emotional, impulsive, and modern—it is hard to believe that German Expressionist works caused such a scandal when they first entered the scene in the early twentieth century. And yet, artists and writers were united in the vision of a new beginning combined with fundamental social criticism. Many targets of Expressionist critique—such as social inequality in the big city, the sleazy glamour of the entertainment world, and the disappointments of new technology—remain disquietingly topical to this day. The powerful images and texts of this collection explore how the Expressionist fascination with change and decay ramifies throughout the art and literature of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Featuring writers of world rank in dialogue with the crème de la crème of German Expressionism—including Wassily Kandinsky, Alfred Döblin, Robert Musil, Max Pechstein, Else Lasker-Schüler, Lyonel Feininger, Franz Kafka, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, and many more—this beautifully illustrated volume will be essential for lovers of art and literature.

Blue Land and City Noise: An Expressionist Stroll through Art and Literature

Text: Michael Beck, Ute Eggeling, Bettina Kaufmann, Angelika Katzlberger, Ivan Ristic, Andrea Winkler, Hans-Peter Wipplinger Zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts wurde die Emotion zum Stilmittel; Beobachten hieß Empfinden. Jenseits von allen akademischen Kanons bannten junge Rebellen aus der Dresdner Künstlergemeinschaft "Brücke" Seelenlandschaften auf die Leinwand. In Auflehnung gegen die industrialisierte Gesellschaft und ihre Konventionen strebten sie zudem eine naturbezogene Lebensreform an. Der Umkreis der Herausgeber des Münchner Almanachs Der Blaue Reiter begab sich währenddessen auf die Suche nach einer neuen Innerlichkeit in der Kunst, die das rein Intuitive gleichermaßen gelten ließ wie die kultivierte Vernunft. Den Farben kam dabei eine entscheidende Rolle zu: Ob grell leuchtend oder dämmrig und trüb, wirkten sie anstelle der Helldunkelkontraste als Hauptvehikel der Bilddramaturgie. Dass die Werke des deutschen Expressionismus bis heute nichts an ihrer suggestiven Wirkung eingebüßt haben, zeigt die vorliegende, begleitend zur gleichnamigen Ausstellung im Leopold Museum erscheinende Publikation mit Beiträgen des Kurators Ivan Ristic, Michael Beck, Bettina Kaufmann, sowie einem literarischen Essay von Angelika Winkler zu Marianne von Werefkins Werk L'Allée. Auf 224 Seiten werden rund 120 Exponate, darunter Werke von Emil Nolde, Max Pechstein, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Erich Heckel, Wassily Kandinsky, Alexej von Jawlensky, Marianne von Werefkin, August Macke, Franz Marc, Paula Modersohn-Becker, Paul Klee und Lionel Feininger aus der Schweizer Sammlung Braglia und der deutschen Sammlung Johenning präsentiert. Shortly after 1900, raw emotion became a stylistic device in painting in many places. Driven by instinct and in opposition to the canons of academic art, young rebels from the Dresden-based artists' association "Brücke" captured landscapes of the soul on canvas. In revolt against industrialized society and its conventions, they also aspired to a back-to-nature life reform. Meanwhile, at roughly the same time, artists associated with the Der Blaue Reiter almanac in Munich started searching for a new inner spirituality in art that allowed for both the purely intuitive and the intellectually inquisitive. Color acquired a decisive role; detached from the object, colors became the main characters in the pictorial drama. The present publication accompanying the exhibition of the same name in the Leopold Museum shows that the works of German Expressionism have lost none of their suggestive effects to date, with contributions by curator Ivan Ristic, Michael Beck, Bettina Kaufmann, and a literary essay by Angelika Winkler on Marianne von Werefkin's work L'Allée. It features predominantly small-format works by outstanding artists including Max Liebermann, Lovis Corinth, Christian Rohifs, Paula Modersohn-Becker, Max Pechstein, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Erich Heckel, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Otto Mueller, Wassily Kandinsky, Gabriele Münter, Alexej von Jawlensky, Marianne von Werefkin, August Macke, Franz Marc, Heinrich Campendonk, Paul Klee, and Lyonel Feininger.
