9783777432618: Do or Die: Auf Leben und Tod · The Human Condition in Painting and Photography; Teutloff meets Wallraf

Synopsis

Accompanying an exhibition at the Wallraf-Richartz Museum celebrating the long history of the human image in art, this beautiful book places significant photographs of the twentieth and twenty-first century in dialogue with some of the great masters of European art from the late Middle Ages to the nineteenth century. The paintings and photographs reflect happiness and suffering, hope and despair--and the juxtapositions shed light on abiding elements of the human condition. Bringing the work of contemporary photo-artists like Nan Goldin and Jurgen Klauke face to face with that of old masters like Titian and Francois Boucher also serves to reveal both the continued influence of painting on photography, and conspicuous areas of difference. In addition to seventy full-color images, this bilingual German and English edition includes an interview with art collector Lutz Teutloff, an essay by renowned cultural critic Bazon Brock, and biographical information on the artists. The glamour and misery of mankind are on full display in this stunning catalog.

Product Description

The glamour and misery of mankind are at the heart of this book, but it also addresses the tradition and the renewal of the human image. Significant photographers of the 20th and 21st centuries engage in a sometimes surprising dialogue with Masters of European painting from the late Middle Ages to the 19th century.

Review

"The dialogue between masterpieces of European painting from the Wallraf-Richartz Museum and strong, bold contemporary photographs from the Teutloff Collection is harmonious in its entirety. Intriguing, thought-provoking, and educational, this book should be mandatory reading for anyone studying the visual arts."--Clive Waring-Flood"Silvershotz: The International Journal of Contemporary Photography" (04/08/2011)

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Glanz und Elend des Menschen stehen im Blickpunkt, zugleich auch Tradition und Erneuerung des Menschenbildes. Bedeutende Fotografen des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts treten in einen oft verblüffenden Dialog mit Meistern der europäischen Malerei vom Spätmittelalter bis zum 19. Jahrhundert.Wohl und Wehe der Gattung Mensch bilden das Grundthema der Foto-Sammlung Teutloff. Ausstellung und Buch konfrontieren herausragende Fotografien des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts mit Menschenbildern der europäischen Malerei von 1400 bis 1900. In präzisen Dialogen treffen etwa Nan Goldin auf François Boucher und Jürgen Klauke auf Tizian. Dabei zeigen sich einerseits Konstanten der »condition humaine« und des menschlichen Selbstbildes, wie Glück und Leid, Zuversicht und Zweifel. Andererseits wird erkennbar, wie Bildformeln der Alten Meister bis in die Gegenwart fortwirken, ja von der Fotografie bisweilen sogar bewusst zitiert werden. Im Gegenzug fallen umso stärker jene formalen und inhaltlichen Traditionsbrüche ins Auge, die bestimmte Foto-Arbeiten der Sammlung Teutloff auf teils schockierende Weise kennzeichnen. Sie legen eine Spur zu existenziellen Themen wie »Körperbewußtsein« oder »sexuelle Identität«. Der zweisprachige Band enthält unter anderem ein Interview mit Lutz Teutloff, einen Essay von Bazon Brock und biographische Künstlerinformationen. Die fulminante Bildstrecke macht ihn zu einer transportablen Ausstellung. 160 pp. Englisch, Deutsch. Seller Inventory # 9783777432618
