"Oskar Kokoschka (1886-1980) is one of Austria's finest Expressionist artists. His paintings are renowned and admired for their vivid colour and restless energy. This book focuses on the early portraits that Kokoschka painted in Vienna and Berlin on the eve of World War I. Perhaps the best known and most highly esteemed of all his works, these portraits are examples of Kokoschka's use of ecaggeration and distortion of colour to convey de ..."
"During the first half of the nineteenth century, Danish and German artists studying in Paris and Rome brought back the concept of "plein air" painting and began to paint out-of-doors on their native soil. They introduced a whole new aesthetic that was sensitive to the light and atmospheric conditions peculiar to the north, especially during the long summer days.

"Sigmar Polke: Works on Paper, 1963-1974 accompanies the Museum of Modern Art's exhibition of drawings, watercolors, and gouaches by this famous German painter. Polke's works on paper are beautiful and funny with strong tinges of emotion.

"Presenting Stephan von Huene's oeuvre in its multimediality and infinite diversity of sources and manifestations, two early cycles of drawings are published for the first time alongside material collage paintings and surreal wood and leather sculptures--these can be understood as preludes to his later computer-controlled sound sculptures, which produce their own world of noises and movements. Essays by Christoph Brockhaus, Martin Warnke ..."
""Hypermental" tracks, with unprecedented insight, the unfinished project of surrealism, exploring the visual art of the modern era not in terms of genres, schools, or media, but through the lens of subjectivity.

From Merit Oppenheim a ..."
