By James A. van Dyke “Van Dyke is undoubtedly one of the foremost experts on the art world of the Weimar Republic. In his groundbreaking new study, he focuses on Otto Dix, one of the leading―and perhaps the most radical―painters of the era. In a paradigmatic way, the author demonstrates what a ‘leftist,’ critical art history can be today and how necessary it is. Detailed description, the ‘material turn,’ and the socio-historical analysis of the artistic field complement and illuminate one another. Van Dyke’s keen eye for detail leads to a fundamental reexamination of Otto Dix’s art in general.”—Olaf Peters, Martin-Luther University, Halle-WittenbergHow small details in the paintings of Otto Dix materialize the realities of a modern German artist.Offering a fresh look at German art during a period of extraordinary transition and precarity, James A. van Dyke focuses on overlooked but critically significant details in works completed by Otto Dix between 1919 and 1936. A small lump of paint, a monogram, an almost invisible self-portrait, the verso of a drawing, a patch of discoloration, and a web of fine cracks—van Dyke reveals such details, hidden in plain sight, as coded dialogue through which Dix addressed audiences and art-world insiders amid the combative world of cultural production in Weimar Germany. Sly, cutting, and provocative, these are the material traces of social relationships between the painter and those who represented threats to his professional ambition: an avant-garde mentor and rival, an increasingly skeptical critic, a prominent bourgeois photographer, and a local Nazi authority.Proving that small things offer insight into the big picture, this book highlights Dix’s satirical, transgressive work as nuanced and polyvocal, reflecting the complex fields of power and economics in which the field of art is located.Hardcover296 Pages, 12 color plates and 120 halftonesUniversity of Chicago Press, 20267 x 10 InchesISBN 9780226848549Monograph, German Art History

The Great Artists: Paul Klee

Edited by Frank SchmidtWith Contributions by Rebecca Duckwitz, Simone Ewald, and Wolfgang WernerWith Essays by Frank Schmidt This oversize volume examines the career of Paula Modersohn-Becker, a pioneering Expressionist who was largely unknown during her lifetime. Published in celebration of the 150th birthday of Paula Modersohn-Becker, an artist who remains one of the most important figures of the German avant-garde, this book examines her artistic development in depth and presents works from all phases of her career, with a particular focus on her early work, which has hitherto received little attention or recognition. Modersohn-Becker was one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century, and her works influenced such major figures as Georg Baselitz and Chantal Joffe. But how did Paula Becker, born in Dresden in 1876, become the artist Paula Modersohn-Becker? Numerous works from renowned collections and private holdings illustrate this fascinating story and demonstrate that she was following her own artistic path even in her student years. It was this path that made her the legend she became, celebrated in literature, film, and art. This oversized and lavishly illustrated publication celebrates the beloved artist with large reproductions of her most iconic works as well as seldom shown works.

Paula Modersohn-Becker: London–Berlin–Worpswede–Paris

Edited by Christian Bauer and Bernadette Reinhold The legendary rivalry between two exceptional artists of Austrian Modernism, Oskar Kokoschka and Egon Schiele, a rivalry that sparked artistic masterpieces. This lavishly illustrated publication looks at the relationship of the two towering figures of Austrian Modernism, Oskar Kokoschka and Egon Schiele. They were rivals and masterful networkers, and their race for success and recognition opens up a previously untold chapter of modern art. Oskar Kokoschka and Egon Schiele were rising stars in early twentieth-century Vienna, and their early work laid the foundations for Austrian Expressionism. Their rivalry is as exceptional as their networks and artworks. When Egon Schiele died in 1918 at just twenty-eight years old, his attempt at reconciliation with Kokoschka having failed, the elder artist still had six decades ahead of him, during which he would be celebrated internationally as a major Austrian figure. But he never escaped Schiele’s shadow—quite the contrary. With historical documents and art reproductions, this publication shows in detail the feud that these two artists fought.

[is] funny, with morbid senses of humor that will hit Halloween sweet spots…It turns out the wolf’s gut harbors the best party in town, and some readers’ sympathies might shift toward the carnivore—aided by the great Jon Klassen’s droll paintings; no one does perturbed animals better.—The New York Times Book Review The story’s timeless, fable-like feel is bolstered by its traditional cast and old-fashioned fairy-tale language: “Oh, woe!” cries the wolf. “Oh shame!” Life can turn the tables pretty quickly, Barnett suggests, and only those whose outlooks are flexible will flourish. “I may have been swallowed,” says the duck, “but I have no intention of being eaten.” A rare treasure of a story, the kind that seems to have been around forever.—Publishers Weekly (starred review) A New York Times bestseller! This is a story about a duck and mouse who get swallowed by a wolf, and then decide to live in his belly. When a woeful mouse is swallowed by a wolf, he quickly learns he is not alone: a duck has already set up digs, and, boy, has that duck got it figured out! Turns out it’s pretty nice in there, with delicious food and elegant table settings, courtesy of the wolf’s unchecked gluttony. And there’s something even better: no more fear of being eaten by a wolf! In fact, life is pretty good, until a hunter shows up. . . . With a nod to traditional fables and a wink to the reader, the award-winning Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen offer a tale of cooperation and creative cuisine that is sure to go down easy.

Written and Illustrated by Jon Klassen [A] gently eerie board book ghost story. . . . Giving youngest readers ample space to contemplate their own perceptions, Klassen again displays a remarkable knack for creating lingering, fully realized works through the sparsest storytelling.—Publishers Weekly (starred review) Preschoolers, get ready for your first official ghost story. . . . To set the mood, Klassen relies heavily on color; the first few rooms are brightly lit in the sun’s rays, but the home grows dimmer as readers proceed. Treating the book itself as a physical location begging to be explored (it’s even shaped like a house), Klassen extends the format beyond its usual limitations, allowing a short story of surprising depth to emerge. A spooky house tour, unafraid to redefine what board books are capable of achieving.—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Klassen’s (Your Truck, rev. 1/26) house-shaped novelty board book is a slightly spooky, ­fun-to-explore existential journey that challenges our notions of what board books can offer. . . . Toddlers will enjoy turning the sturdy pages, pointing out the house’s contents, and wondering (amused, unnerved, or a bit of both) about the ghost’s presence.—The Horn Book (starred review) A Gently Spooky Story with Interactive Die-Cut Doors and Windows Peek through doors and windows to explore a mysterious house in this innovative shaped novelty book for young readers who relish the lightly spooky, from the Caldecott Medal–winning and New York Times bestselling Jon Klassen, creator of I Want My Hat Back and The Skull. Here are the things in this house: a chair, a clock on the wall, a stool, a lamp. And more. What’s missing from this house? Somebody. This is the house with nobody in it. Well, there might be something . . . Designed as a sturdy keepsake to read, play with, and treasure, The House with Nobody in It takes readers through a recognizable, cozy house, while layered die-cut doors and windows throughout introduce a hint of intrigue. This is the house with nobody in it—or is it? Pairing the familiar with a touch of mystery, Jon Klassen proves once again to be a master of breaking the mold, playing with expectations . . . and delighting even the youngest of readers.

The House with Nobody in It

By Thomas MeyerTranslated from the German by Shelley Frisch “Thomas Meyer, the general editor of a German edition of Hannah Arendt’s works, has written a biography of his subject that rests on extensive archival work. Splendidly translated by Shelley Frisch, the book offers us a complex picture of this political philosopher that contributes richly to our knowledge of Arendt’s life. In particular, Meyer offers new and important details about her years in France after her escape from Berlin in 1933 and her arrival in the United States in 1941. No person interested in Arendt’s work should miss this book.” —Liliane Weissberg, editor of the critical edition of Rahel Varnhagen: The Life of a Jewess by Hannah Arendt The definitive, long-awaited, and revelatory intellectual biography of Hannah Arendt, one of the greatest philosophers of the twentieth century. Drawing on newly discovered archival materials and previously overlooked documents—from both Germany, where Hannah Arendt was born to a Jewish family in 1906, and the United States, where she was a citizen from 1950—Thomas Meyer tells the story of an intellectual icon whose character and ideas continue to captivate and challenge us to this day. Tracing anew Arendt’s journey from Königsberg to Paris, where she fled after being imprisoned in 1933, and finally to New York in 1941, Meyer illuminates her formative years and the development of her radical and brilliant books, as well as her lifelong philosophical debate with Martin Heidegger, whose Nazism was a permanent challenge for her. Meyer’s account centers on two pivotal phases—Arendt’s years in Paris after fleeing Nazi Germany and her time in the United States leading up to the landmark publication of The Origins of Totalitarianism in 1951—providing not only a meticulous reconstruction of her life but also a compelling invitation to rethink her legacy for our times. At a time of acute political polarization, with liberalism in crisis and urgent debates about freedom, responsibility, and truth unfolding all around, Arendt’s writings and ideas resonate more powerfully than ever. Meyer’s account of her extraordinary life is groundbreaking and sensational, not just for his illuminating and peerless research, but also for his incisive exploration of what Arendt’s work has meant over the decades—and continues to mean for us today.

Hannah Arendt: A Life of the Mind

Edited by Nadine Franci and Nina ZimmerWith Essays by Nadine Franci Presents an innovative new perspective on a star of classical modernism. Ernst Ludwig Kirchner’s (1880–1938) art is characterized by austere beauty and bold coloration. However, his creative approach extended far beyond the canvas: he saw the presentation and viewing of his works as integral elements of his art. This book shows Kirchner’s complete oeuvre through his own eyes. The world’s first major retrospective of Kirchner’s work was curated by the artist himself in 1933. In presenting the works, he created an exhibition entirely according to his own taste. This volume allows us to look over his shoulder once again and see how he approached both his artistic ideas and his curatorial strategies. Kirchner’s work continues to be exemplary of early twentieth-century art and one of the undisputed highlights of classical modernism.

Edited by Markus Winter and Don Freeman Berlin Deko surveys early 20th-century German furniture design, highlighting diverse styles, key figures, and Berlin’s role as a creative hub between 1910 and 1930. Berlin Deko is the first comprehensive English survey of early twentieth-century German and Central European furniture design to move beyond the notion of a linear development of styles between Jugendstil and Bauhaus. It explores the period between 1910 and 1930, revealing a diverse continuum of styles, including the overlooked “Expressionist Rococo” that flourished in Berlin. The book highlights Berlin’s role as a center for furniture and interior design that attracted international artists. Key figures such as Leo Nachtlicht, Oskar Kaufmann, Bruno Paul, Fritz August Breuhaus de Groot, Paul Thiersch, Emil Fahrenkamp, Eduard Pfeiffer, and Lajos Kozma played important roles. Berlin Deko re-examines and celebrates Berlin’s legacy as a creative center, revealing a richer, more nuanced narrative of German design history. One that celebrates diversity, individual expression, and the enduring influence of Berlin as a creative hub.

By Robert SeethalerTranslated by Charlotte Collins "A gem of a novella"—Financial Times "A luminous imagining of a great musician's inner struggles."—Kirkus Review An intimate portrait of genius, love, and betrayal at the end of Gustav Mahler’s life. In the spring of 1911, Gustav Mahler—wrapped in a wool blanket—sits on the deck of the Amerika, sailing back to Europe. The ocean around him is gray and endless, the air sharp with wind and steel. Not yet fifty, Mahler is already a legend: in Vienna and New York, audiences fight for tickets to see the restless, small man who commands the most stubborn orchestra in the world. Yet his fame is shadowed by illness. His body is failing, his wife Alma has fallen in love with another man: the young architect Walter Gropius. Mahler has begged, humiliated himself, tried everything to keep her. Nothing worked, except the certainty of his approaching death. Alma has stayed, tending to him with care, perhaps to ease his final passage. On board, Mahler reflects on life, art, and above all, love. Finalist for the Deutscher Buchpreis and one of the most acclaimed German novels of recent years, Robert Seethaler’s The Last Movement is a haunting, tender portrait of a great artist confronting his farewell to life.

By Barbara Hess, Cathrin Klingsöhr-Leroy,Karin H. Grimme, Klaus Honnef, and Norbert Wolf “This comprehensive overview incorporates an impressive range of reproductions.”-The Independent Explore five movements that revolutionized art: Impressionism, Expressionism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, and Pop Art. From Monet’s shimmering water lilies and the wild dreams of Dalí to Lichtenstein’s high-impact comic-book aesthetics, this collection unpacks the rebellious ideas and works that reframed how the world views art itself. A comprehensive volume covering five seminal genres that shaped art, from the late 19th century and well into the 20th: Impressionism, Expressionism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art. 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. Impressionism, 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. Though diverse, these movements collectively pushed the boundaries of creativity, redefined artistic expression, and altered the trajectory of contemporary art. This lavish edition celebrates their stories, featuring more than 250 high-quality reproductions and texts, exploring how each movement's ideas and innovations transformed art forever.

Art for All: Art History

By Thomas MannTranslated by Lesley Chamberlain A sumptuous new translation of the sublime novella of desire, obsession, and one man’s downfall; another classic from the author of THE MAGIC MOUNTAIN. “Probably the greatest of modern German novelists.” ―The New York Times One of the pre-eminent works of modern European literature, this enthralling story of desire, beauty and infatuation follows the erudite, respectable writer Gustav Aschenbach’s descent into obsession. Aschenbach has always lived a life of structured routine, but he has begun to be troubled by diminishing creative inspiration from his strict writing schedule. While walking in a cemetery north of Munich, he has a dizzying vision which prompts him to abandon his settled life and travel south to Venice. On checking into his hotel, Aschenbach notices a young Polish boy of perfect, sculptural beauty: Tadzio. As he lingers on at the hotel, Aschenbach falls into an ever-deeper infatuation with the youth, whose curled blond hair and porcelain face fill him with rapture, and even seem to cure his stubborn writer’s block. Ignoring whispered warnings of a cholera outbreak in Venice, Aschenbach stays at the hotel and follows Tadzio with increasing obsession, his mind swirling with mad desire. Classical in structure yet roiled by disturbing passion, Death in Venice is an enormously powerful story of one man’s undoing. Full of coiled tension and vivid inner conflict, it is one of Thomas Mann’s greatest masterpieces, and appears here in a lively new translation by Lesley Chamberlain.

By Hermann Hesse “Hesse is a writer whose peculiar vision is worth inspecting. His world is shadowy and close to areas of the heart that will probably never see light. But his vision is a rare one, as commendable for its humane solicitude as for its strangeness and unearthly color.” —National Review "What Catcher in the Rye has come to mean for America's younger generation, Demian proved to be for Germany's early post-WWI youth. . . . A quite believable, fascinating, moving portrait of youth." —Kirkus Reviews An acclaimed, influential, and visionary novel from Hermann Hesse, one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. Demian tells the dramatic story of Emil Sinclair. Docile and unquestioning, Emil follows a precious schoolmate—the charismatic Max Demian—on a shocking decent into a secret and dangerous world of petty crime and revolt against convention. And it is there in the shadows that a formerly complacent and uncomplicated young man achieves a miraculous awakening to adulthood. The novel includes an introduction by Thomas Mann.

Grimms' Fairy Tales

By Amy Kurzweil This smart and spiritual graphic memoir not only chronicles the process that Amy and Ray go through to create a chatbot version of their forebear (‘Fred-bot’), but also asks big questions about how we memorialize the people we love and the relationship between technology and humanity.” —Chloe Veltman, NPR “A breathtaking graphic memoir, Artificial is also a tender family story and a meditation on how art, technology, and memory keep people alive.” —Francie Lin, The Boston Globe “Memory, both human and digital, plays a major part in the book. The illustrations draw you in; the words are pretty great, too.” —Erik Pedersen, The Orange County Register Winner of the Living Now Book AwardFinalist for the American Book Fest Best Book Awards A visionary story of three generations of artists whose search for meaning and connection transcends the limits of life How do we relate to—and hold—our family’s past? Is it through technology? Through spirit? Art, poetry, music? Or is it through the resonances we look for in ourselves? In Artificial, we meet the Kurzweils, a family of creators who are preserving their history through unusual means. At the center is renowned inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil, who has long been saving the documents of his deceased father, Fredric, an accomplished conductor and pianist from Vienna who fled the Nazis in 1938. Once, Fred’s life was saved by his art: an American benefactor, impressed by Fred’s musical genius, sponsored his emigration to the United States. He escaped just one month before Kristallnacht. Now, Fred has returned. Through AI and salvaged writing, Ray is building a chatbot that writes in Fred’s voice, and he enlists his daughter, cartoonist Amy Kurzweil, to help him ensure the immortality of their family’s fraught inheritance. Amy’s deepening understanding of her family’s traumatic uprooting resonates with the creative life she fights to claim in the present, as Amy and her partner, Jacob, chase jobs, and each other, across the country. Kurzweil evokes an understanding of accomplishment that centers conversation and connection, knowing and being known by others. With Kurzweil’s signature humanity and humor, in boundary-pushing, gorgeous handmade drawings, Artificial guides us through nuanced questions about art, memory, and technology, demonstrating that love, a process of focused attention, is what grounds a meaningful life.

Meloni, & David WittinghoferWith Contributions by Meghan Forbes A stylish, rigorous documentation of the cross-cultural exchange between America and Europe during the Roaring Twenties Parallel to the avant-garde movements in Europe of the 1920s, unprecedented economic prosperity developed in the United States. In Europe, "America" became a cultural concept that emblematized an urban lifestyle, efficient labor systems and low-threshold entertainment. Certain exports, such as jazz, were embraced, while others, such as Taylorism, met with heavy criticism. In turn, European art and its new movements, such as Dadaism, Futurism and Constructivism, attracted both reverence and disdain in the United States. The American public learned about these cultural experiments through magazines such as The Little Review. Through expository texts and reproductions of poems, artwork, posters, sheet music and magazines, Modern Times documents the transatlantic exchange that occurred between the European avant-garde and American popular culture during the storied Roaring Twenties. The volume identifies the means through which ideas and phenomena were disseminated abroad and traces their respective receptions.

Modern Times: Transantlantic Encounters in the 1920s

By Nora Krug "In this evocative graphic memoir, Krug wrestles with her family's ties to Nazi Germany and the weight of that history." —Time, 10 Best Nonfiction Books, Honorable Mention "Krug has written a thoughtful, engrossing graphic novel that is part scrapbook, part memoir, delving deep into her family’s history and trying to find blame or exoneration. In the process, she tells the story of an entire generation." —Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Best of 2018 “In her extraordinary graphic memoir [Belonging], Krug dissects antisemitism in her own family’s history and Germany’s national guilt over the Holocaust – and the country’s recent far-right backlash. … The curious appeal of Krug’s graphic memoir is that it never fully loses itself in the act of storytelling but constantly stops to turn over and reassess the means at its disposal."—The Guardian * Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award * Silver Medal Society of Illustrators * * Named a Best Book of the Year by The New York Times, The Boston Globe, San Francisco Chronicle, NPR, Comics Beat, The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Kirkus Reviews, and Library Journal This “ingenious reckoning with the past” (The New York Times), by award-winning artist Nora Krug investigates the hidden truths of her family’s wartime history in Nazi Germany. Nora Krug was born decades after the fall of the Nazi regime, but the Second World War cast a long shadow over her childhood and youth in the city of Karlsruhe, Germany. Yet she knew little about her own family’s involvement; though all four grandparents lived through the war, they never spoke of it. After twelve years in the US, Krug realizes that living abroad has only intensified her need to ask the questions she didn’t dare to as a child. Returning to Germany, she visits archives, conducts research, and interviews family members, uncovering in the process the stories of her maternal grandfather, a driving teacher in Karlsruhe during the war, and her father’s brother Franz-Karl, who died as a teenage SS soldier. In this extraordinary quest, “Krug erases the boundaries between comics, scrapbooking, and collage as she endeavors to make sense of 20th-century history, the Holocaust, her German heritage, and her family's place in it all” (The Boston Globe). A highly inventive, “thoughtful, engrossing” (Minneapolis Star-Tribune) graphic memoir, Belonging “packs the power of Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home and David Small’s Stitches” (NPR.org).

By Nelio BiedermannTranslated from the German by Jamie Bulloch “Lázár is an exquisite and masterly pronouncement that a gifted young writer walks among us.” —Patti Smith An “astonishing…disturbingly dreamlike” (Daniel Kehlmann, The Director) debut, inspired by the author’s own family story—a gothic, inter-generational family saga capturing the rise and fall of an aristocratic Hungarian family against the backdrop of the two world wars. At the turn of the 20th century, the Lázárs welcome their newest member in their rural summer estate, surrounded by a menacingly dark, enchanting forest. Lajos von Lázár is a baby boy with translucent skin and light-blue eyes who looks nothing like the rest of his family. Sándor, the imposing patriarch, is ashamed of his son’s peculiarity. Ilona finds her baby brother quite ugly. Mária is terrified that her son’s uncanny resemblance to the stagehand who died a couple weeks earlier might spell disaster. While Imre, Sándor’s brother whose otherworldly foresight is often confused for insanity, is struck by visions of a great catastrophe. Lajos’s birth is emblematic of the many secrets, affairs, and peculiar otherworldly happenings that plague the Lázárs. As the decades go by, they will continue to fall prey to their desires, leading grand lives, and experiencing even greater tragedies as they’re swept by the tides of war and revolution that befall their country. But time and again, in the lighter years, extraordinary love and hope shine through. Masterfully written and deeply haunting, Lázár is a magisterial novel that presents the sweeping history of a nation through the lives of one extraordinary family.

Van Gogh: Masters of Art

By Brigitte Salmen Born in Russia in 1860, Marianne von Werefkin was a shrewd free thinker and hostess, as can be seen by the salon she began in the Schwabing district of Munich at the beginning of the twentieth century. Here, she assembled famous artists such as Wassily Kandinsky, Gabriele Münter, Alfred Kubin, Adolf Erbslöh, Erma Bossi, Franz Marc, and August Macke. But Werefkin was also a talented artist in her own right. In this beautifully illustrated book, Brigitte Salmen delves into Werefkin’s work, restoring her place as one of the pioneering artists of expressionism. Salmen explores Werefkin’s early works from Russia and follows her as she returned to her own art after a long break, during which she sought to further the work of her companion, Alexej Jawlensky. In 1906 after a decade away from her art, Werefkin began painting once more, creating fascinating works in a new, expressive style—the results of her sojourns in the region around the picturesque town of Murnau, Germany, where she often visited with Jawlensky, Münter, and Kandinsky. With these artists, she was an important forerunner and co-founder of the Munich New Artist’s Association, and Salmen traces Werefkin’s powerful influence on the development of the “Blauer Reiter,” or Blue Rider. Finally, Salmen examines Werefkin’s lesser-known later works, which she created in Ascona, Switzerland, where she lived in exile until she died in 1938. An important look at the full life of this undervalued artist, Marianne von Werefkin is an essential book about a woman whose career staked out new ground for female painters.

Marianne von Werefkin (Great Masters in Art)

By Kerstin Drechsel, Diana Kopka, Florence Thurmes, Sina Tonn Follows the role of angst in Edvard Munch’s unprecedented body of work and its enduring influence on contemporary art. Angst. Everyone knows it and fears it—regardless of cultural and social background—yet it is also essential to life, as a driving force and source of energy. Hardly any painter has captured this aspect of the human condition so powerfully as Edvard Munch, the artist whose unique body of work leaves no one unmoved. A pioneer of modernism, Munch was able to address the raw, wild, and immediate aspects of human existence. In his works, he places human feelings and a trenchant critique of civilization at the center. This comprehensive and opulent document of a universal emotion demonstrates the importance of the Norwegian master in all his facets.

Edvard Munch: Angst

Edited by Susanne Gaensheimer, Isabella Malz, and Anke Kempkes Dazzling, erotic, groundbreaking—the queer alternative history of modernism. Desire, eroticism, playing with gender—these qualities in the works of queer artists are not regarded here as external to the creative process, but rather as foundational. By approaching the art through a perspective of queer aesthetics, the aim is to discover the visual worlds of hitherto little-known figures of international modernism, from Eastern and Western Europe and North and South America. This volume reflects how the artists experiment with alternative lifestyles to produce new visual languages, perspectives, and queer aesthetics. Modern utopias of abolishing the gender binary, queer avant-gardes, and the potential in queer readings of abstraction are some of the compelling topics presented in this volume, which also recounts the history of queer lives during war, persecution, and resistance. Featured artists include Natalie Clifford Barney, Richmond Barthé, Rosa Bonheur, Romaine Brooks, Til Brugman, Paul Cadmus, Claude Cahun, Heinrich Campendonk, Jean Cocteau, Ithell Colquhoun, Nils Dardel, Beauford Delaney, Leonor Fini, Gluck, Hannah Höch, Ludwig von Hofmann, Valentine Hugo, Robin Ironside, Lotte Laserstein, Marie Laurencin, George Platt Lynes, Maria Martins, Marcel Moore, Marlow Moss, Ismael Nery, Richard Bruce Nugent, Meret Oppenheim, Milena Pavlović-Barili, Glyn Warren Philpot, Gregorio Prieto, Anton Prinner, Sonja Sekula, Florine Stettheimer, Pavel Tchelitchew, Toyen, Paule Vézeley, Ethel Walker, Nicolaas Warb, Gerda Wegener, and Irène Zurkinden.

Gib mal'n Kuß auf Lottchen

Von Sandra Richter and Anna Kinder »Der Dichter und seine floralen Vorlieben, kundig erklärt, liebevoll illustriert und mit klugen Analysen in Beziehung gesetzt vor allem zu seinen Gedichten. « -Tilman Krause, WELT AM SONNTAG »Einen interessanten, nicht jedem bekannten Aspekt von Rilkes Leben hat Sandra Richter in einem ... Buch beleuchtet – einem lesenswerten[:] Rilke als Gärtner.«-Dieter Kaltwasser, General Anzeiger Bonn Die erste Einführung in Rilkes Pflanzen- und Blumenkosmos mit vielen bisher unbekannten Texten und Bildern Es ist »die Liebe […,] die Blumen zwischen die Seiten« der Bücher legt, schrieb Rilke Ende November 1904 seiner Ersatzmutter, der berühmten schwedischen Pädagogin Ellen Key, und betonte weiter, dass diese »immer an dieser Stelle bleiben sollen«. Zeitlebens verzierte er seine Bücher mit solchen Zeichen der Liebe, bedichtete Blumen, die ihm als Lebens- und Liebeszeichen galten, entwickelte, pflegte und nutzte seinen eigenen Garten in Schloss Muzot, seinem letzten Lebens- und Arbeitsort. Rilkes Auseinandersetzung mit der Pflanzenwelt zeigt ihn als Gärtner im doppelten Sinne: Als botanisierenden Autor und als tatsächlichen Gärtner – als Pflanzensammler, Blumeneinkäufer, botanisch informierten Naturbeobachter und, nach Verfertigung seines großen Spätwerks, als tätigen Gärtner. Der 2022 durch das Deutsche Literaturarchiv Marbach erworbene private Nachlass Rilkes bezeugt erstmals umfassend die Blumen- und Naturbegeisterung des Autors, kenntnisreich kommentiert von Sandra Richter, Autorin der großen Rilke-Biographie im Insel Verlag, und Anna Kinder.

Rilke als Gartner

von Arthur Schnitzlermit acht Zeichnungen von Egon Schiele einem Essay von Hilde Spiel Als 1926 die wohl vieldeutigste von Arthur Schnitzlers Erzählungen zum erstenmal erschien, durchlief die Wiener Gesellschaft ein Schauder. Die Gnadenlosigkeit, mit der Schnitzler darin den Seelengrund eines gesitteten Ehepaares bloßlegt, schockierte die Gemüter mehr noch, als dies sein Reigen getan hatte. Und doch ist es nicht der Blick in den Abgrund der Triebwelt, ist es nicht die Schilderung vorgestellter oder vielleicht gar gelebter Orgien, was an dieser Novelle bis heute so schockiert und fasziniert. Es sind auch nicht die Träume, die Albertine und ihr Mann Fridolin sich wechselseitig beichten. Es ist die Erkenntnis, daß kein Traum nur »völlig Traum« ist. Nicht allein Schnitzlers Ehepaar dürfte davon »erwacht« sein. Die Traumnovelle diente Stanley Kubrick zu seinem letzten Film: dem Welterfolg »Eyes Wide Shut« (1999) – als literarische Vorlage.Also available in English.Hardcover112 pagesText in GermanInsel Verlag, 2023Originally Published, 19264.72 x 0.47 x 7.24 inchesISBN 9783458192381Books in German, Novella

Traumnovelle

By Ken Krimstein “Clever, charming, amusing, and just plain brilliant. Ken Krimstein is the most inventive graphic biographer on the planet-and certainly the only one who could explain both Einstein and Kafka. A page turner on gravity and relativity!” -KAI BIRD, Pulitzer Prize-winning co-author of American Prometheus, the biography that inspired the Oscar-winning film Oppenheimer“For the science-challenged, it comes as a relief and a delight to have gravity and relativity explained in Ken Krimstein's marvelously inventive graphic novel.” ―The New York Sun “[Krimstein] engagingly chronicles a significant time period for both [Einstein and Kafka] . . . A fun, amusing fantasy about an important year in two icons' lives.” ―Kirkus Reviews From the award-winning New Yorker cartoonist, a graphic narrative revealing the pivotal year in Prague when Einstein became “Einstein,” Franz Kafka became “Kafka,” and the world changed forever. During the year that Prague was home to both Albert Einstein and Franz Kafka from 1911-1912, the trajectory of the two men's lives wove together in uncanny ways-as did their shared desire to tackle the world's biggest questions in Europe's strangest city. In stunning words and pictures, Einstein in Kafkaland reveals the untold story of how their worlds wove together in a cosmic battle for new kinds of truth. For Einstein, his lost year in Prague set him on the path to what many consider the greatest scientific discovery of all time, his General Theory of Relativity. And for Kafka, this charmed year was a bridge to writing his first masterpiece, The Judgment. Based on diaries, lectures, letters, and papers from this period amid a planet electrifying itself into modernity, Einstein in Kafkaland brings to life the emergence of a new world where art and science come together in ways we still grapple with today.

The Sticker Treasury of Blooms and Butterflies

Edited by Dietmar Elger & Uta Grosenick Emerging amid the brutality of World War I, the revolutionary Dada movement took disgust with the establishment as its starting point. From 1916 until the mid-1920s, artists in Zurich, Cologne, Hanover, Paris, and New York launched a radical assault on the politics, social values, and cultural conformity which they regarded as complicit in the devastating conflict. Dada artists shared no distinct style but rather a common wish to upturn societal structures as much as artistic standards and to replace logic and reason with the absurd, chaotic, and unpredictable. Their practice encompassed experimental theater, games, guttural sound-making, collage, photomontage, chance-based procedures, and the “readymade,” most notoriously Marcel Duchamp’s urinal, Fountain (1917). Throughout, the Dadaists considered the visual appearance of their work secondary to the ideas and critiques it expressed. In this sense, Dada may be seen as a fundamental precursor to conceptual art. With a selection of key works from some of the most famous proponents of Dada such as Tristan Tzara, Marcel Duchamp, Hannah Höch, Kurt Schwitters, Francis Picabia, and Man Ray, this book introduces this urgent, subversive, and determined 20th-century movement and its lasting influence on modern art.

Dadaism (Basic Series 2.0)

By Linda Nochlin The fiftieth anniversary edition of the essay that is now recognized as the first major work of feminist art theory—published together with author Linda Nochlin’s reflections three decades later. Many scholars have called Linda Nochlin’s seminal essay on women artists the first real attempt at a feminist history of art. In her revolutionary essay, Nochlin refused to answer the question of why there had been no “great women artists” on its own corrupted terms, and instead, she dismantled the very concept of greatness, unraveling the basic assumptions that created the male-centric genius in art. With unparalleled insight and wit, Nochlin questioned the acceptance of a white male viewpoint in art history. And future freedom, as she saw it, requires women to leap into the unknown and risk demolishing the art world’s institutions in order to rebuild them anew. In this stand-alone anniversary edition, Nochlin’s essay is published alongside its reappraisal, “Thirty Years After.” Written in an era of thriving feminist theory, as well as queer theory, race, and postcolonial studies, “Thirty Years After” is a striking reflection on the emergence of a whole new canon. With reference to Joan Mitchell, Louise Bourgeois, Cindy Sherman, and many more, Nochlin diagnoses the state of women and art with unmatched precision and verve. “Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?” has become a slogan and rallying cry that resonates across culture and society. In the 2020s, Nochlin’s message could not be more urgent: as she put it in 2015, “There is still a long way to go.” Hardcover112 pagesThames & Hudson, 2021Originally published in 19714.7 x 7 x 2 inchesISBN 9780500023846Art Criticism, Theory

Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists? 50th Anniversary Edition

By Heike Maria Johenning Around 1900, Germany was the main centre for the production of Art Nouveau tiles in Europe. Hallways were regarded as status symbols, and the entranceway became like a calling card. Today, few people are aware that many original tiled walls from that period have been preserved in Berlin. Jugendstil im Quadrat presents 120 fascinating tiles, explains their motifs, and sets them in the context of Art Nouveau ornamentation. The plant theme is particularly widespread: abstract or naturalistic depictions of flowers and trees unfold their full beauty in the square format. This book is the first to document historical Berlin tile paintings, most of which are not listed and therefore at risk.
