Items related to Adolf Dietrich in His Time and Beyond
Born as the youngest of a poor Swiss farming family's seven children, Adolf Dietrich (1877-1957) supplemented arduous farm work and various jobs in a textile mill, as a woodcutter, and railway worker, with art. Gaining increasing recognition in Germany and Switzerland, his participation in the exhibition Les maitres populaires de la realite in Paris, Zurich, and New York in 1937-38 marked his breakthrough internationally. Until today, Dietrich's work is regarded by some as a prime example of 20th-century naive painting, while other scholars place him closer to the post-expressionist movement of New Objectivity. For the first time in nearly sixty years, Dietrich's work has been shown in a vast retrospective at Kunstmuseum Olten in Switzerland, in summer 2015 in which his pictures were accompanied by paintings of artists such as Cuno Amiet, Otto Dix, Giovanni Giacometti, Ferdinand Hodler, Henri Rousseau, or Felix Vallotton. This coinciding new monograph is richly illustrated in colour throughout, featuring some 160 works by Dietrich and the other artists. The essays contextualise his art and highlight Dietrichs' lasting significance.

Book Description Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Das Werk von Adolf Dietrich (1877-1957) erfuhr schon zu seinen Lebzeiten grosse Beachtung, wenngleich er in der damaligen Kunstszene ein Aussenseiter war. Als 'Schweizer Rousseau' bekannt geworden, wurde er nicht zuletzt aufgrund seines geradezu märchenhaften Aufstiegs vom Kleinbauern aus Berlingen im Kanton Thurgau zum international gefeierten Künstler vielfach gewürdigt. Dietrichs Bilder wurden seit seinem Tod jedoch noch nie gemeinsam mit Werken anderer wichtiger Künstler seiner Zeit gezeigt, obschon er immer wieder gemeinsam mit Vertretern der Neuen Sachlichkeit, des Magischen Realismus und der Naiven Kunst rezipiert wurde.Diese neue Monografie präsentiert erstmals bekannte und unbekannte Werke Dietrichs gemeinsam mit Bildern von Cuno Amiet, Albert Anker, Otto Dix, Giovanni Giacometti, Ferdinand Hodler, Henri Rousseau, Niklaus Stoecklin, Félix Vallotton und anderen. Die Textbeiträge stellen Dietrichs Schaffen in einen kunsthistorischen Kontext und zeigen seine bis in die heutige Zeit reichende Bedeutung auf. Seller Inventory # 9783858814678
