Line is an essential element in twentieth-century sculpture, and among the first to creatively explore the interpretation of figure through a single line was Auguste Rodin, whose 1893 bronzework L'Éternelle Idole is among the modernist masterpieces in the first-rate art collection of Elizabeth and Alexander Kasser. Line and Sculpture in Dialogue reproduces more than fifty works of art held by the Kasser/Mochary Family Foundation, among them Rodin's L'Éternelle Idole and works by Paul Cézanne, Marc Chagall, Pablo Picasso, Edgar Degas, Henri Matisse, Amedeo Modigliani, and Alberto Giacometti.Primarily sculptures and graphic art, the works offer new perspectives on modernism with special consideration to the artists' fascination with line as a means of representation. Together, the artworks also demonstrate the shift within modernism toward abstraction. Beautifully illustrated, this volume offers a fascinating look at the development of new methods and styles within twentieth-century sculpture.

Gebundene Ausgabe. Condition: Sehr gut. Gebraucht - Sehr gut SG - leichte Beschädigungen oder Verschmutzungen, ungelesenes Mängelexemplar, gestempelt - Auguste Rodins berühmte Bronzeskulptur L'Eternelle Idole (Das ewige Idol) aus dem Jahr 1893, mit deren Ankauf das Ehepaar Kasser 1971 seine Sammlung gründete, kündigt bereits an, womit sich die Bildhauerei des 20. Jahrhunderts auf der Suche nach neuen Volumina verstärkt beschäftigen sollte: die schöpferische Auseinandersetzung mit der Linie. Das Bestreben, die Figur in einer einzigen Linie zu finden, bestimmt ebenso das zeichnerische Werk der folgenden Künstlergenerationen. Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Henri Matisse, Paul Gauguin, Giorgio De Chirico, László Moholy-Nagy, Alberto Giacometti, Alexander Archipenko und andere experimentierten in ihren Skulpturen und Zeichnungen intensiv mit der Linie als formgebendem Element und fanden dabei zu ganz unterschiedlichen Lösungen. Anhand von über fünfzig Meisterwerken aus der hochkarätigen Kunstsammlung der Kasser/Mochary Family Foundation wählt der Band in der Gegenüberstellung von Skulptur und Zeichnung einen aufschlussreichen Blickwinkel auf die Kunst der Moderne und ihre Entwicklung hin zur Abstraktion. Im Fokus auf die Linie entfaltet sich so eine oft über-raschende Sicht auf die Skulptur des 20. Jahrhunderts. Seller Inventory # INF1000545873
