Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The first monographic publication in English on German Expressionist artist and architect Paul Goesch, whose extraordinary architectural fantasies were produced while he was institutionalized for schizophrenia Artist and architect Paul Goesch (18851940) created one of the most inventive, peculiar, and poignant bodies of work to emerge from Weimar Germany. His vibrant drawings teem with invented ornament and resemble little else made then or since. Goesch, who exhibited widely in avant-garde circles, did so while institutionalized for schizophreniaa condition for which he was ultimately murdered by the Nazi regime. This monograph makes Goeschs extraordinary creations accessible to an English-speaking audience for the first time. It presents more than thirty examples of his drawings from the collection of the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal, as well as work by his peers in the Expressionist Glass Chain group. Goeschs subject matter is mainly arches, passageways, and portals, which are taken here as a metaphor for the artists anthroposophic beliefs and altered states and his liminal status as both an insider and outsider, whom critics have never been able to categorize clearly. The authors discuss Goeschs production and reception and posit his enduring art historical significance. The first monographic publication in English on German Expressionist artist and architect Paul Goesch, whose extraordinary architectural fantasies were produced while he was institutionalized for schizophrenia Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condition: New. The first monographic publication in English on German Expressionist artist and architect Paul Goesch, who long struggled with-and was persecuted and ultimately murdered for-his schizophrenia Paul Goesch (1885-1940) produced one of the most inventive, peculiar, and poignant bodies of work to emerge from Weimar Germany. An artist and architect, he made both fanciful figurative drawings and visionary architectural designs. The latter, from the extensive holdings of the Centre for Canadian Architecture in Montreal, are the focus of this publication, the first in English dedicated to Goesch.   Amid the aftermath of First World War, a generation of young architects sketched their visions for utopia. Goesch stands out among them for his formal range, his kaleidoscopic color sense, and his playful and pluralistic embrace of architectural history, as well as for his long struggles with schizophrenia, a condition for which he was institutionalized and ultimately murdered by the Nazis.   This publication highlights the decorative portals and archways that predominate in Goesch's work. These represent the artist's metaphysical passages, as a spiritualist steeped in diverse religious and esoteric beliefs, and his altered psychological states. They also suggest Goesch's liminal status between art and architecture, "sanity" and "madness," the trained insider and the institutionalized "outsider." Celebrated in his time and since forgotten, Goesch is presented here in the context of period discussions on art, architecture, and mental health.
