The Dada Painters and Poets: An Anthology, Second Edition (Paperbacks in Art History)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Dada Painters and Poets offers the authentic answer to the question `What is Dada?` This incomparable collection of essays, manifestos, and illustrations was prepared by Robert Motherwell with the collaboration of some of the major Dada figures: Marcel Duchamp, Jean Arp, and Max Ernst among others. Here in their own words and art, the principals of the movement create a composite picture of Dada--its convictions, antics, and spirit. First published in 1951, this treasure trove remains, as Jack Flam states in his foreword to the second edition, `the most comprehensive and important anthology of Dada writings in any language, and a fascinating and very readable book.` It contains every major text on the Dada movement, including retrospective studies, personal memoirs, and prime examples. The illustrations range from photos of participants, in characteristic Dadaist attitudes, to facsimiles of their productions. [detailed...]

The Dada Seminars (Casva Seminar Papers)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis volume of 12 essays fills a broad gap in modernist art history. Taken together, these case studies on artists and concepts present Dada as a coherent movement with a set of operating principles. Among the ` tactics` elaborated are the hyperbolic mimicry of dominant social and linguistic conventions, the performance of gender and other aspects of identity, the usurpation of the modes of a new media culture and marketplace, and the recycling of history and memory as blasted in a world traumatized by war. The Dada Seminars developed out of a series of seminars held by the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts at the National Gallery of Art, in advance of a major traveling exhibition of international Dada that will open in 2005. Contributors include George Baker, T.J. Demos, Leah Dickerman, Uwe Fleckner, Hal Foster, Amelia Jones, David Joselit, Marcella Lista, Helen Molesworth, Arnauld Pierre, Jeffrey T.

Description: Book DescriptionDada. This onomatopoeia suggesting a child`s babbling started one of the most important mutations in the history of art. But what is Dada? Born of the First World War, Dada is a movement bringing together both artists and writers. From Zurich in 1916, it spread rapidly to New York, Berlin, Hanover, Cologne and finally to Paris, where it died in 1924. Because of the diversity of its creations, the Dada movement is not an `ism` of the art world: there is no Dada `style,` although a single spirit does govern the works of this movement, which is at once anti-conformist, anti-bourgeois and above all, anti-artistic.

The Daguerreotype (Photography at the Musee D`Orsay Series)

Publisher: —
Description: On January 7th 1839, during a session of the Academy of Sciences in Paris, the physicist and politician Francois Arago presented a new process to reproduce images, using mechanical and chemical means without any manual intervention in a dark room. This prcedure became known as the daguerreotype and marked the official birth of photography. Louis Daguerre`s invention, in which a single image is exposed directly onto a mirror-polished copper plate coated with silver halide particles, definitively altered th way we look at the world and the representations we make of it, both artistic and scientific. Organized to complement an exhibition of British calotypes at the Musee d`Orsay (calotypes were the first paper-based photographic process, perfected by WilliamFox Talbot), this collection of French daguerreotypes drawn from the Musee d`Orsay emphasizes the particular aesthetic of these unique photographs, which are at once positive and negative.

The Dancer Defects: The Struggle for Cultural Supremacy During the Cold War

Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe cultural Cold War between the Soviet Union and the West was without precedent. At the outset of this original and wide-ranging historical survey, David Caute establishes the nature of the extraordinary cultural competition set up post-1945 between Moscow, New York, London and Paris, with the most intimate frontier war staged in the city of Berlin. Using sources in four languages, Caute explores the cultural Cold War as it rapidly penetrated theatre, film, classical music, popular music, ballet, painting and sculpture, as well as propaganda by exhibition. Artists such as Miller, Picasso, Eisenstein, Shostakovich, and Stravinsky became involved in this fierce cultural competition through which each of the major Cold War protagonists sought to establish their supremacy. Caute challenges some recent, one-dimensional, American accounts of `Cold War culture`, which ignore not only the Soviet performance but virtually any cultural activity outside the USA. The West… [detailed...]
