2018166725Zurich: Scheidegger & Spiess 2018. Paperback. New in shinkwrap. Turquoise softcover with BW-illustration and white lettering. 96 pp. 55 color illustrations. The development of abstraction was a central process of modern art. But even artists who orientated themselves on the stylistic devices of figurative art influenced modernity considerably. This is illustrated by masterly - and sometimes seldom shown - works from the Kunsthaus Zürich collection which are brought together in this book. It thematizes the reception of such representational art as part of the collection history of the museum. The selection of important positions from 1890 to 1965 includes representatives of the naive the New Objectivity Dadaism and Surrealism among them artists as diverse as Arnold Böcklin Salvador Dalí Adolf Dietrich René Magritte Henri Rousseau and Félix Vallotton. Together they have the motivation to continue to offer image spaces that seem plausible to the eye. However it is no longer about realism but about the primacy of the imagination: a "visionary objectivity." -First Search. Scheidegger & Spiess paperback books

Painting the Impossible presented at the Pierre Gianadda Foundation Martigny Switzerland February 4 - June 11 2017. Their works were accomplished during the half-century of modernity: expansion of capitalism development of transport which made it possible to travel the world . In terms of the arts this period saw the birth of a European space open to traffic and exchanges. All three travelers they discover places and grounds which fifty years earlier they would not have been able to access. Monet went several times to London on the Mediterranean coast to Belle-ÃŽle and as far as Norway. Hodler stays in Munich Paris Italy Spain. Munch the most "nomadic" of the three travels very often between the Scandinavian countries Germany Italy and France. The thematic route of the exhibition reveals the affinities of some of their research while the three men come to painting without being prepared for it by their social origins. Relentlessly they try to "capture" the intangible elements snow the sun at its zenith the clarity of the Moon water mountain peaks . marking the art of the end of the 19th century and the beginning. of the twentieth centuries through their innovative approach." - translated from French website description.

2007151259Paris: Editions Desjonqueres 2007. Softcover. VG clean and tight; appears to be unread. White wraps with color illus. and black lettering. 317 pp. with 49 bw figures. Text in French with a preface by Henri Behar. "If the eccentricity of Salvador Dali contributed to his international reputation it also detracted by masking the depth of his views and originality of his imagination. Among the best-informed men of his time Dali demonstrated creativity drawing constantly about knowledge and discoveries of his time. This singularity of a work that is rooted in a multitude of knowledge is studied in the light of the writings of the artist who beyond his pictorial interests photographic or cinematographic reflect his fascination for optics mathematics or nuclear physics. Some of the most noted specialists in the work of the Catalan master contributed to this publication following the centenary of the birth of one who remains in the memory of the twentieth century as the quintessential surrealist artist whose work constantly transgresses the boundaries between dream and science." from the back cover.
