Oskar Kokoschka

Edited by Elisabeth Schmuttermeier and Christian Witt-Dörring The Wiener Werkstätte or Vienna Workshops was founded in 1903 by architect Josef Hoffmann and artist Koloman Moser. In 1907, the Wiener Werkstätte began publishing a numbered series of postcards, which would ultimately include nearly 1,000 cards. Many of them were designed to celebrate holidays, such as Christmas and Easter. Fashion, both contemporary and historical, became another popular subject, along with humorous topics and favorite tourist spots of the period.All of the major designers who worked for the firm were contributors in this medium including Josef Hoffmann, Oskar Kokoschka, Egon Schiele, and Dagobert Peche. Other noteworthy artists who were active in this area whose names may be less familiar include Moriz Jung, Rudolf Kalvach, Mela Koehler, and Maria Likarz, among others.This catalog raisonné accompanies the first major museum exhibition ever held in the United States devoted exclusively to the postcards produced by the Wiener Werkstätte. The work in the exhibition is drawn exclusively from The Leonard A. Lauder Collection and coincides with the gift of nearly 1,000 of the cards to the Neue Galerie. A selection of these cards will be on view on a regular basis as part of the museum's permanent collection. Please note that Rare/Out-of-Print titles are very limited in stock.

Lauder and a preface by Renée PriceThis sumptuous book commemorates the twentieth anniversary of the Neue Galerie New York and includes highlights of the museum’s collection.

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

NatterDie Neue Galerie New York und die Hamburger Kunsthalle widmen den frühen Bildnissen von Oskar Kokoschka eine erste große Gesamtschau und konzentrieren sich damit auf das zentrale Werksegment der Jahre 1909 bis 1914, mit dem der Maler seinen Ruhm begründete und zur Leitfigur des Expressionismus wurde. Das Katalogbuch zur Ausstellung, herausgegeben von Tobias Natter, verbindet die Wiedergabe der frühen Bildnisse mit einfühlsamen Werkinterpretationen und Hinweisen auf die porträtierten Personen, unter denen sich zum weitaus überwiegenden Teil Freunde, Förderer und Gleichgesinnte des Malers befinden. Die Essays zeichnen ein plastisches Zeitkolorit der Metropolen Wien und Berlin unter den Vorzeichen eines tiefgreifenden Umbruchs. In Wien von dem Architekten Adolf Loos und später in Berlin von dem Herausgeber der Zeitschrift "Der Sturm", Herwald Walden, ermutigt und tatkräftig unterstützt, konnte sich Kokoschka von den malerischen Konventionen der Porträtaufträge befreien und seine eigenen expressiven Bildmittel einsetzen. Nachdenklichkeit, eindringliche Gestik der Hände und psychische Spannungen verdrängen alle posenhafte Eleganz gesellschaftlicher Repräsentation. Rascher Farbauftrag und nervöse Ritzungen greifen den Porträtierten unter die Oberfläche ihrer Haut, um ihre Physiognomien für den Blick auf innere Vorgänge durchlässig zu machen. In Kokoschkas frühen Bildnissen spiegelt sich daher nicht nur die Seele der Personen, sie sind auch Reflexe auf die abgrundtiefe Krise dieser Zeit vor dem ersten Weltkrieg.

Oskar Kokoschka: Das Moderne Bildnis 1909 bis 1914

By Eric R. Kandel “In a polymathic performance, a Nobel laureate weaves together the theories and practices of neuroscience, art and psychology to show how our creative brains perceive and engage art—and are consequently moved by it . . . A transformative work that joins the hands of Art and Science and makes them acknowledge their close kinship.”—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review “A fascinating synthesis of art, history, and science that is also accessible to the general reader. A distinctive and important title that is also a pleasure to read”—Library Journal, Starred Review “Eric Kandel’s training as a psychiatrist and his vast knowledge of how the brain works enrich this thoroughly original exploration of the relationship between the birth of psychoanalysis, Austrian Expressionism, and Modernism in Vienna.”—Margaret Livingstone, Professor of Neurobiology, Harvard Medical School A brilliant book by Nobel Prize winner Eric R. Kandel, The Age of Insight takes us to Vienna 1900, where leaders in science, medicine, and art began a revolution that changed forever how we think about the human mind—our conscious and unconscious thoughts and emotions—and how mind and brain relate to art. Kandel tells the story of how these pioneers—Freud, Schnitzler, Klimt, Kokoschka, and Schiele—inspired by the Vienna School of Medicine, in turn influenced the founders of the Vienna School of Art History to ask pivotal questions such as What does the viewer bring to a work of art? How does the beholder respond to it? These questions prompted new and ongoing discoveries in psychology and brain biology, leading to revelations about how we see and perceive, how we think and feel, and how we respond to and create works of art. Kandel, one of the leading scientific thinkers of our time, places these five innovators in the context of today’s cutting-edge science and gives us a new understanding of the modernist art of Klimt, Kokoschka, and Schiele, as well as the school of thought of Freud and Schnitzler. Reinvigorating the intellectual enquiry that began in Vienna 1900, The Age of Insight is a wonderfully written, superbly researched, and beautifully illustrated book that also provides a foundation for future work in neuroscience and the humanities. It is an extraordinary book from an international leader in neuroscience and intellectual history.
