Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Amidst the turmoil of World War II, Zurich was an enclave where modern art held its ground. In the aftermath, Concrete Art, design, and the 'Swiss Style' became emblematic of a modern Switzerland. Influenced by De Stijl, Russian Constructivism, and the Bauhaus, the Zurich Concretists aimed to transform society through aesthetics, design, and architecture. Circle! Square! Progress! brings together the main protagonists Max Bill, Camille Graeser, Verena Loewensberg, and Richard Paul Lohse along with precursors such as Sophie Taeuber-Arp, Georges Vantongerloo, Theo van Doesburg, and Anton Stankowski. Contemporary witnesses, artist Peter Fischli and curator Bice Curiger, add their unique perspectives. The volume vividly describes the Zurich Concretist's conections with European avant-garde, delving into the hostilities, scandals, and their ultimately successful struggle for recognition against the backdrop of the 20th century's upheavals.; Konkrete Kunst, Grafik und Design wurden nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg zum Emblem einer modernen Schweiz. Geprägt von de Stijl, russischem Konstruktivismus und dem Bauhaus zielten die Konkreten auf eine Transformation der Gesellschaft durch Ästhetik, Design und Architektur - etwa durch die Hochschule für Gestaltung Ulm. Kreis! Quadrat! Progress! porträtiert die Zürcher Konkreten Max Bill, Camille Graeser, Verena Loewensberg und Richard Paul Lohse und ihr Umfeld sowie ihre Impulsgeber wie Sophie Taeuber-Arp, Georges Vantongerloo, Theo van Doesburg oder Anton Stankowski. Es erzählen Zeitzeugen wie der Künstler Peter Fischli und die Kuratorin Bice Curiger. Lebendig werden Verbindungen zur europäischen Avantgarde ebenso wie die Anfeindungen, die Skandale und die Durchsetzungskämpfe inmitten der Umwälzungen des 20. Jahrhunderts. …
