Karel Appel, a gesture of colour
Author: Jean-François Lyotard
Publisher: Leuven University Press
ISBN: 9058677567
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
"Karel Appel. A gesture of colour is the first of a series of five volumes, bringing together the most important writings of Jean-François Lyotard (1924-1998) on contemporary art and artists. The book he devoted to the art of Karel Appel (1921-2006) is without doubt one of the most complete and inspired texts of all the writing included in the series. Neither the original French manuscript nor the English translation has ever been published before, and their presentation face to face should constitute a considerable plus. In this book, Lyotard presents Karel Appel's "matterism" as an offer of presence, presence deferred -- it is the visual where every predicate is suspended, the visual touched, "gesture" of colour more than property of colour, appearance at the edge of the abyss. Christine Buci-Glucksmann's epilogue situates Karel Appel. A gesture of colour within the whole of Lyotard's writings on art and his subsequent work."--P. [4] of cover.

The Cobra Movement in Postwar Europe
Author: Karen Kurczynski
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351034480
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
This book examines the art of Cobra, a network of poets and artists from Copenhagen, Brussels, and Amsterdam (1948–1951). Although the name stood for the organizers’ home cities, the Cobra artists hailed from countries in Europe, Africa, and the United States. This book investigates how a group of struggling young artists attempted to reinvent the international avant-garde after the devastation of the Second World War, to create artistic experiments capable of facing the challenges of postwar society. It explores how Cobra’s experimental, often collective art works and publications relate to broader debates in Europe about the use of images to commemorate violent events, the possibility of free expression in an art world constrained by Cold War politics, the breakdown of primitivism in an era of colonial independence movements, and the importance of spontaneity in a society increasingly dominated by the mass media. This book will be of interest to scholars in art history, 20th-century modern art, avant-garde arts, and European history.

Book Description
"In this book, which is compiled from interviews taken more than 30 years ago, Sandberg looks back on his life, particularly on the period from around 1945 until 1970, during which he was active as a typographic designer and as director of the Stedelijt Museum in Amsterdam ... The basic material for the book is the interviews that art critic Paul Aletrino held in the years 1970-1971 with Sandberg for the VARA radio "Staalkaart" [augmented by other sources including] the documentary biography that Ad Petersen and Pieter Brattinga made in 1975 on the occasion of the Erasmus prize, which was awarded to Sandberg ... In 1981 I was given the task to compile this book from the material that been collected. I arranged from the chapters according to the most important themes which were raised in the interviews. In addition, I turned the spoken language of Sandberg into reading language and reflected as faithfully as possible his own word usage. The text was authorised by Sandberg for the first edition ..."-- Excerpted from the author's introduction.
