Hardcover. Condition: New. Since 2003, American artist Richard Phillips (born 1964) has made numerous appropriations of paintings by the Swiss artist Adolf Dietrich (1877-1957). Phillips shares with Dietrich a fondness for such subjects as animals, people and landscapes, stylized into an extreme degree of artifice. Phillips' appropriations and quotations of Dietrich's motifs orient his own aims firmly within the logic of art history (specifically the modernist canon), and Dietrich, known in his day as 'the German Rousseau,' and winning acclaim under the constrained terms of 'naive,' also proves to be a sophisticated modernist artist. In this volume, published to accompany an exhibition at the Swiss Institute in New York, Phillips' works are presented alongside Dietrich's, accompanied by an essay on Dietrich by Phillips, a conversation between Beatrix Ruf and Phillips, a text by Dietrich scholar Dorothee Mesmer and an introduction by Gianni Jetzer and Markus Landert.…

Hardback. Condition: New. In her paintings, the Swiss artist Regula Syz (b. 1946) opens up a space for contradiction. They depict blossoming life, but also foreboding and destruction. To this end, the artist works with elementary manifestations of the life cycle, which she links to humankind's internal and external struggles. Regula Syz's oeuvre, which spans more than fifty years, is characterised by a turning point in 1999: a studio residency in Genoa marked her transition from precise watercolour techniques to large-format acrylic paintings; beauty and harmony were followed by expressiveness and movement. Red Raven - Black Poppy focuses on this second phase of her work, though it also features earlier works and excerpts from her sketchbooks, allowing for a comprehensive exploration of Syz's artistic practice.Text in English and German.…

Paperback. Condition: New. 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 maîtres populaires de la réalité in Paris, Zürich, 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 naïve 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 Félix 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.Text in English and German.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. One of seven children from a poor Swiss farming family, Adolf Dietrich (18771957) supplemented arduous farm work and jobs as a woodcutter and railway worker with a robust artistic practice. Although he was self-taught and never left the family home, he nevertheless rose to prominence as an important figure in the history of naive and outsider art and post-expressionist New Objectivity.This richly illustrated book offers an accessible introduction to Dietrichs astonishing body of work. Although he achieved some early recognition in Germany and his native Switzerland, his major breakthrough into the international art scene came in the late 1930s, when a traveling exhibition celebrated his paintings as prime examples of twentieth-century naive art. This characterization of his rural landscapes, still lifes, and portraits of animals and people continues to be disputed by many since his style cuts a path between naive art and the post-expressionist movement of New Objectivity. Produced in collaboration with the Kunstmuseum Olten, Switzerland, this book reproduces many of Dietrichs paintings for the first time in more than fifty years alongside works by his contemporaries, including Cuno Amiet, Otto Dix, Giovanni Giacometti, Ferdinand Hodler, Henri Rousseau, and Felix Valloton. Rounding out the book are essays by Katja Herlach, Markus Landert, Dorothee Messmer, and David Streiff exploring Dietrichs continuing influence. The first comprehensive monograph on Adolf Dietrich in English, examining his style which is regarded as being between naive and new objectivity.

gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -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. (Texte dt., engl.) 208 pp. Deutsch, Englisch.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Nives Widauer: Villa Nix bietet einen Überblick des drei Jahrzehnte umfassenden Schaffens dieser wichtigen Protagonistin der Schweizer Gegenwartskunst. Wie der Titel schon anklingen lässt, hat Nives Widauer mit der Villa Nix ein imaginäres Heim für ihre Kunst erschaffen. Anspielend auf ihren Künstlernamen - Nix und Nives sind Variationen des lateinischen Begriffs für Schnee - lässt das Buch die Leserinnen und Leser in die Vorstellungswelten der Künstlerin eintauchen und ihre Installationen und Werke erkunden. In den Räumen, die dem Buch sein Gerüst verleihen, hat Nives ausgewählte Werke zu stimmungsvollen Arrangements zusammengestellt. So wird jedes dieser Buch-Zimmer zu einem Ort der Erinnerung, mit den ihm spezifischen historischen und kulturellen Konnotationen. Einleitende Texte und Gespräche reflektieren den Charakter der Räume und die ihnen innewohnende Kunst.…
