Neue Galerie New York: The Museum and Its Collection

By Elisabeth Dutz This revelatory volume uncovers the significant friendship that shaped Egon Schiele’s most personal and provocative works. Between 1910 and his death in 1918, Egon Schiele cultivated a close, formative relationship with Dr. Erwin von Graff—a Vienna-based gynecologist who would become both friend and collaborator. Egon Schiele: Portrait of Dr. Erwin von Graff is the first publication to examine this vital connection in depth, revealing how Graff’s medical practice and personal support influenced one of the most expressive and psychologically charged bodies of work in modern art.Through Graff’s private diary and newly uncovered archival material, art historian Elisabeth Dutz traces a compelling narrative of creative exchange and trust. Graff granted Schiele access to his patients—pregnant women, newborns, and postpartum mothers—opening a world that Schiele captured with raw, emotional intensity. Their friendship, which began with a painted portrait offered in gratitude for a favor, evolved into a lasting exchange that deeply influenced Schiele’s exploration of the human body, emotional vulnerability, and the complexities of life and death.Published in connection with a special exhibition at the Neue Galerie New York, this beautifully produced volume is richly illustrated with Schiele’s works from this period, as well as never-before-seen photographs and documents. It offers new insight into the artist’s inner world and illuminates a significant chapter in his development. A must-have for admirers of Schiele, this book deepens our understanding of his oeuvre and the relationships that helped shape it.

Egon Schiele: Portrait of Dr. Erwin Von Graff Exhibition Catalogue

By Sophie Lillie and Georg Gaugusch Few paintings have captured the public's imagination as thoroughly as Gustav Klimt's 1907 Adele Bloch-Bauer I. Klimt's painting of Adele not only rendered her irresistible beauty and sensuality; its intricate ornamentation and exotic motifs heralded the dawn of modernity and a culture intent on radically forging a new identity. But as synonymous as her likeness has become with Vienna’s Golden Age, the real Adele Bloch-Bauer remained somewhat shielded from the public eye. This book attempts to reveal and honor the remarkable life and legacy of Adele Bloch-Bauer and her husband Ferdinand, and their patronage of one of Austria’s most radical forebears of modernity.

Gustav Klimt: Landscapes Set of 3 Standard Notebooks

Edited by Christian Bauer and Bernadette Reinhold The legendary rivalry between two exceptional artists of Austrian Modernism, Oskar Kokoschka and Egon Schiele, a rivalry that sparked artistic masterpieces. This lavishly illustrated publication looks at the relationship of the two towering figures of Austrian Modernism, Oskar Kokoschka and Egon Schiele. They were rivals and masterful networkers, and their race for success and recognition opens up a previously untold chapter of modern art. Oskar Kokoschka and Egon Schiele were rising stars in early twentieth-century Vienna, and their early work laid the foundations for Austrian Expressionism. Their rivalry is as exceptional as their networks and artworks. When Egon Schiele died in 1918 at just twenty-eight years old, his attempt at reconciliation with Kokoschka having failed, the elder artist still had six decades ahead of him, during which he would be celebrated internationally as a major Austrian figure. But he never escaped Schiele’s shadow—quite the contrary. With historical documents and art reproductions, this publication shows in detail the feud that these two artists fought.

European Realities | Schilderkunst Painting 1919-1939

By Thomas MeyerTranslated from the German by Shelley Frisch “Thomas Meyer, the general editor of a German edition of Hannah Arendt’s works, has written a biography of his subject that rests on extensive archival work. Splendidly translated by Shelley Frisch, the book offers us a complex picture of this political philosopher that contributes richly to our knowledge of Arendt’s life. In particular, Meyer offers new and important details about her years in France after her escape from Berlin in 1933 and her arrival in the United States in 1941. No person interested in Arendt’s work should miss this book.” —Liliane Weissberg, editor of the critical edition of Rahel Varnhagen: The Life of a Jewess by Hannah Arendt The definitive, long-awaited, and revelatory intellectual biography of Hannah Arendt, one of the greatest philosophers of the twentieth century. Drawing on newly discovered archival materials and previously overlooked documents—from both Germany, where Hannah Arendt was born to a Jewish family in 1906, and the United States, where she was a citizen from 1950—Thomas Meyer tells the story of an intellectual icon whose character and ideas continue to captivate and challenge us to this day. Tracing anew Arendt’s journey from Königsberg to Paris, where she fled after being imprisoned in 1933, and finally to New York in 1941, Meyer illuminates her formative years and the development of her radical and brilliant books, as well as her lifelong philosophical debate with Martin Heidegger, whose Nazism was a permanent challenge for her. Meyer’s account centers on two pivotal phases—Arendt’s years in Paris after fleeing Nazi Germany and her time in the United States leading up to the landmark publication of The Origins of Totalitarianism in 1951—providing not only a meticulous reconstruction of her life but also a compelling invitation to rethink her legacy for our times. At a time of acute political polarization, with liberalism in crisis and urgent debates about freedom, responsibility, and truth unfolding all around, Arendt’s writings and ideas resonate more powerfully than ever. Meyer’s account of her extraordinary life is groundbreaking and sensational, not just for his illuminating and peerless research, but also for his incisive exploration of what Arendt’s work has meant over the decades—and continues to mean for us today.

Hannah Arendt: A Life of the Mind

By James A. van Dyke “Van Dyke is undoubtedly one of the foremost experts on the art world of the Weimar Republic. In his groundbreaking new study, he focuses on Otto Dix, one of the leading―and perhaps the most radical―painters of the era. In a paradigmatic way, the author demonstrates what a ‘leftist,’ critical art history can be today and how necessary it is. Detailed description, the ‘material turn,’ and the socio-historical analysis of the artistic field complement and illuminate one another. Van Dyke’s keen eye for detail leads to a fundamental reexamination of Otto Dix’s art in general.”—Olaf Peters, Martin-Luther University, Halle-WittenbergHow small details in the paintings of Otto Dix materialize the realities of a modern German artist.Offering a fresh look at German art during a period of extraordinary transition and precarity, James A. van Dyke focuses on overlooked but critically significant details in works completed by Otto Dix between 1919 and 1936. A small lump of paint, a monogram, an almost invisible self-portrait, the verso of a drawing, a patch of discoloration, and a web of fine cracks—van Dyke reveals such details, hidden in plain sight, as coded dialogue through which Dix addressed audiences and art-world insiders amid the combative world of cultural production in Weimar Germany. Sly, cutting, and provocative, these are the material traces of social relationships between the painter and those who represented threats to his professional ambition: an avant-garde mentor and rival, an increasingly skeptical critic, a prominent bourgeois photographer, and a local Nazi authority.Proving that small things offer insight into the big picture, this book highlights Dix’s satirical, transgressive work as nuanced and polyvocal, reflecting the complex fields of power and economics in which the field of art is located.Hardcover296 Pages, 12 color plates and 120 halftonesUniversity of Chicago Press, 20267 x 10 InchesISBN 9780226848549Monograph, German Art History

Otto Dix in Detail: Painting and Precarity in the Field of Weimar Culture

By Barbara Hess, Cathrin Klingsöhr-Leroy,Karin H. Grimme, Klaus Honnef, and Norbert Wolf “This comprehensive overview incorporates an impressive range of reproductions.”-The Independent Explore five movements that revolutionized art: Impressionism, Expressionism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, and Pop Art. From Monet’s shimmering water lilies and the wild dreams of Dalí to Lichtenstein’s high-impact comic-book aesthetics, this collection unpacks the rebellious ideas and works that reframed how the world views art itself. A comprehensive volume covering five seminal genres that shaped art, from the late 19th century and well into the 20th: Impressionism, Expressionism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art. Each approach was distinct in aesthetic and philosophy, but all had immediate impact and enduring influence. Many great names were indelibly associated with one, some explored several during their careers. Impressionism, led by Monet and Renoir, focused on light and color, capturing fleeting moments and challenging academic art's rigidity. Expressionism was driven by artists like Edvard Munch and Wassily Kandinsky to convey raw emotion, distorting reality to reflect the angst of human experience. Surrealists, like Salvador Dalí and René Magritte, explored the subconscious, dreams, and the irrational, blending reality with fantasy across art, literature, and film. With Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko leading the charge, Abstract Expressionism emphasized spontaneity and emotion through bold, gestural brushstrokes, and established New York as the post-war art world’s new Mecca. Finally, artists like Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol gained fame and dominated the zeitgeist by synthesizing advertising, pop culture, and high art into Pop Art. Though diverse, these movements collectively pushed the boundaries of creativity, redefined artistic expression, and altered the trajectory of contemporary art. This lavish edition celebrates their stories, featuring more than 250 high-quality reproductions and texts, exploring how each movement's ideas and innovations transformed art forever.

Art for All: Art History

By Robert SeethalerTranslated by Charlotte Collins "A gem of a novella"—Financial Times "A luminous imagining of a great musician's inner struggles."—Kirkus Review An intimate portrait of genius, love, and betrayal at the end of Gustav Mahler’s life. In the spring of 1911, Gustav Mahler—wrapped in a wool blanket—sits on the deck of the Amerika, sailing back to Europe. The ocean around him is gray and endless, the air sharp with wind and steel. Not yet fifty, Mahler is already a legend: in Vienna and New York, audiences fight for tickets to see the restless, small man who commands the most stubborn orchestra in the world. Yet his fame is shadowed by illness. His body is failing, his wife Alma has fallen in love with another man: the young architect Walter Gropius. Mahler has begged, humiliated himself, tried everything to keep her. Nothing worked, except the certainty of his approaching death. Alma has stayed, tending to him with care, perhaps to ease his final passage. On board, Mahler reflects on life, art, and above all, love. Finalist for the Deutscher Buchpreis and one of the most acclaimed German novels of recent years, Robert Seethaler’s The Last Movement is a haunting, tender portrait of a great artist confronting his farewell to life.

The Last Movement

By Thomas MannTranslated by Lesley Chamberlain A sumptuous new translation of the sublime novella of desire, obsession, and one man’s downfall; another classic from the author of THE MAGIC MOUNTAIN. “Probably the greatest of modern German novelists.” ―The New York Times One of the pre-eminent works of modern European literature, this enthralling story of desire, beauty and infatuation follows the erudite, respectable writer Gustav Aschenbach’s descent into obsession. Aschenbach has always lived a life of structured routine, but he has begun to be troubled by diminishing creative inspiration from his strict writing schedule. While walking in a cemetery north of Munich, he has a dizzying vision which prompts him to abandon his settled life and travel south to Venice. On checking into his hotel, Aschenbach notices a young Polish boy of perfect, sculptural beauty: Tadzio. As he lingers on at the hotel, Aschenbach falls into an ever-deeper infatuation with the youth, whose curled blond hair and porcelain face fill him with rapture, and even seem to cure his stubborn writer’s block. Ignoring whispered warnings of a cholera outbreak in Venice, Aschenbach stays at the hotel and follows Tadzio with increasing obsession, his mind swirling with mad desire. Classical in structure yet roiled by disturbing passion, Death in Venice is an enormously powerful story of one man’s undoing. Full of coiled tension and vivid inner conflict, it is one of Thomas Mann’s greatest masterpieces, and appears here in a lively new translation by Lesley Chamberlain.

Death in Venice

By Theodor FontaneTranslated by Peter James Bowman PERFECT FOR FANS OF JANE AUSTEN: A seamstress and cavalry officer fall in love across class divides in this “sparkling, tender, delicately ironic” portrait of 19th-century Berlin (New York Review of Books). “A joy for its humanity, subtlety and visual immediacy.”—Independent From Germany’s greatest 19th-century novelist, this realist masterpiece interrogates the strict social codes of a rapidly changing era through a wistful struggle between love and obligation. Lene is an orphaned seamstress; Botho is a nobleman and an officer in one of the Prussian army’s most glittering regiments. But despite their differences of class and education, they fall quickly in love, spending a summer together in a clear-eyed, tender love affair before society’s demands force them cruelly apart. Now married to a wealthy cousin, Botho learns years later that Lene too has an opportunity to marry. Her ex-lover must choose between holding on to regret or letting go of the past – along with the possibility of getting Lene herself back. Unusually progressive for literature of the period, this masterwork of Fontane’s portrays a love story that defies class boundaries, full of tender irony and vivid evocations of a quickly expanding Berlin and its bucolic surroundings. Fontane bring sharp psychological insight to his achingly sympathetic portrayal of two lovers torn between their hearts and the obligations of social circumstance.

On Tangled Paths

By Rainer Maria RilkeTranslated from the German by Edward Snow “The most trustworthy and exhilarating of Rilke’s contemporary translators.” —Michael Dirda, Washington Post A gorgeous new translation of one of the strongest inaugural works in twentieth century poetry. Long hailed as a masterwork of modern German literature, The Book of Hours (1905) marks the origin of Rainer Maria Rilke’s distinctive voice and vision—where clarity of diction meets unexpected imagery and first-person poetry discovers its full lyric possibility. In these audacious poems, a devout but candid speaker addresses an ultimately unknowable deity, passing through love, fear, guilt, anger, bewilderment, loneliness, tenderness, and exaltation in his search for meaning. In this dual-language edition, Edward Snow, “the most trustworthy and exhilarating of Rilke’s contemporary translators” (Michael Dirda, Washington Post), makes Rilke’s achievement accessible as never before in English. Snow retains a striking fidelity to the German text while also conveying the captivating psychological presence that animates Rilke’s best poems. Paperback368 pagesText in German and EnglishW.W.

The Book of Hours

By Hermann Hesse “Hesse is a writer whose peculiar vision is worth inspecting. His world is shadowy and close to areas of the heart that will probably never see light. But his vision is a rare one, as commendable for its humane solicitude as for its strangeness and unearthly color.” —National Review "What Catcher in the Rye has come to mean for America's younger generation, Demian proved to be for Germany's early post-WWI youth. . . . A quite believable, fascinating, moving portrait of youth." —Kirkus Reviews An acclaimed, influential, and visionary novel from Hermann Hesse, one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. Demian tells the dramatic story of Emil Sinclair. Docile and unquestioning, Emil follows a precious schoolmate—the charismatic Max Demian—on a shocking decent into a secret and dangerous world of petty crime and revolt against convention. And it is there in the shadows that a formerly complacent and uncomplicated young man achieves a miraculous awakening to adulthood. The novel includes an introduction by Thomas Mann.

Berlin Deko is the first comprehensive English survey of early twentieth-century German and Central European furniture design to move beyond the notion of a linear development of styles between Jugendstil and Bauhaus. It explores the period between 1910 and 1930, revealing a diverse continuum of styles, including the overlooked “Expressionist Rococo” that flourished in Berlin. The book highlights Berlin’s role as a center for furniture and interior design that attracted international artists. Key figures such as Leo Nachtlicht, Oskar Kaufmann, Bruno Paul, Fritz August Breuhaus de Groot, Paul Thiersch, Emil Fahrenkamp, Eduard Pfeiffer, and Lajos Kozma played important roles. Berlin Deko re-examines and celebrates Berlin’s legacy as a creative center, revealing a richer, more nuanced narrative of German design history. One that celebrates diversity, individual expression, and the enduring influence of Berlin as a creative hub.

Berlin Deko: Central European Furniture from 1910 to 1930

By Sally CarsonPreface by Laura Freeman Crooked Cross describes, through the eyes of one ordinary family, the Nazis’ growth in power between December 1932 and August 1933. It is extraordinarily prescient, anticipating all the horrors they were about to inflict on the world, and in this respect it joins a small group of novels, PB no. 39 Manja and PB no. 136 The Oppermanns among them, which were written to try to alert the world to what was happening. The main focus of the novel is on disaffected German youth: it shows with great subtlety that by the early 1930s there was huge unemployment, and a corresponding feeling of futility, and that what the Nazis did so skillfully was to provide a sense of purpose. Crooked Cross is an incisive account on why some young men who feel disaffected, lost or ignored turn towards authoritarian governments.

Milton Place

By Anna Gmeyner Translated by Kate Phillips Preface by Eva Ibbotson Written in 1936-7 by a young Austrian playwright living in exile in London, Manja opens, radically, with five conception scenes all set on the same night in 1920. In the midst of the turbulent Germany of the Weimar Republic, it goes on, equally dramatically, to describe the lives of the children and their families up until 1933 when the Nazis came to power. The four boys and one girl, Manja, become friends, but their companionship is doomed because of the differences between their parents; one father is a left-wing activist, another a Nazi, another a financier, another a Jewish musician. Yet Manja is far from being a political novel. Its startling originality lies in the way the the political background is perceived, steadily, from the child's point of view. It has been compared with PB no. 152 Crooked Cross by Sally Carson, who was born the same year as Anna Gmeyner. 'What is so unusual,' wrote the playwright Berthold Viertel in 1938, 'is the way the novel contrasts the children's community - in all its idealism, romanticism, decency and enchantment - with the madhouse community of the adults.' Meanwhile the Manchester Guardian called it 'a remarkable novel, a book of truth and tenderness' and the New York Times referred to it as 'a tale of terrible beauty'. The Preface is by the author's daughter, writer Eva Ibbotson; the new translation is by Kate Phillips.Hardcover552 pagesPersephone Books, 2003Originally published in 1939‎5.35 x 7.64 inchesISBN 9781903155295Literary Fiction

Manja

von Arthur Schnitzlermit acht Zeichnungen von Egon Schiele einem Essay von Hilde Spiel Als 1926 die wohl vieldeutigste von Arthur Schnitzlers Erzählungen zum erstenmal erschien, durchlief die Wiener Gesellschaft ein Schauder. Die Gnadenlosigkeit, mit der Schnitzler darin den Seelengrund eines gesitteten Ehepaares bloßlegt, schockierte die Gemüter mehr noch, als dies sein Reigen getan hatte. Und doch ist es nicht der Blick in den Abgrund der Triebwelt, ist es nicht die Schilderung vorgestellter oder vielleicht gar gelebter Orgien, was an dieser Novelle bis heute so schockiert und fasziniert. Es sind auch nicht die Träume, die Albertine und ihr Mann Fridolin sich wechselseitig beichten. Es ist die Erkenntnis, daß kein Traum nur »völlig Traum« ist. Nicht allein Schnitzlers Ehepaar dürfte davon »erwacht« sein. Die Traumnovelle diente Stanley Kubrick zu seinem letzten Film: dem Welterfolg »Eyes Wide Shut« (1999) – als literarische Vorlage.Also available in English.Hardcover112 pagesText in GermanInsel Verlag, 2023Originally Published, 19264.72 x 0.47 x 7.24 inchesISBN 9783458192381Books in German, Novella

Von Sandra Richter and Anna Kinder »Der Dichter und seine floralen Vorlieben, kundig erklärt, liebevoll illustriert und mit klugen Analysen in Beziehung gesetzt vor allem zu seinen Gedichten. « -Tilman Krause, WELT AM SONNTAG »Einen interessanten, nicht jedem bekannten Aspekt von Rilkes Leben hat Sandra Richter in einem ... Buch beleuchtet – einem lesenswerten[:] Rilke als Gärtner.«-Dieter Kaltwasser, General Anzeiger Bonn Die erste Einführung in Rilkes Pflanzen- und Blumenkosmos mit vielen bisher unbekannten Texten und Bildern Es ist »die Liebe […,] die Blumen zwischen die Seiten« der Bücher legt, schrieb Rilke Ende November 1904 seiner Ersatzmutter, der berühmten schwedischen Pädagogin Ellen Key, und betonte weiter, dass diese »immer an dieser Stelle bleiben sollen«. Zeitlebens verzierte er seine Bücher mit solchen Zeichen der Liebe, bedichtete Blumen, die ihm als Lebens- und Liebeszeichen galten, entwickelte, pflegte und nutzte seinen eigenen Garten in Schloss Muzot, seinem letzten Lebens- und Arbeitsort. Rilkes Auseinandersetzung mit der Pflanzenwelt zeigt ihn als Gärtner im doppelten Sinne: Als botanisierenden Autor und als tatsächlichen Gärtner – als Pflanzensammler, Blumeneinkäufer, botanisch informierten Naturbeobachter und, nach Verfertigung seines großen Spätwerks, als tätigen Gärtner. Der 2022 durch das Deutsche Literaturarchiv Marbach erworbene private Nachlass Rilkes bezeugt erstmals umfassend die Blumen- und Naturbegeisterung des Autors, kenntnisreich kommentiert von Sandra Richter, Autorin der großen Rilke-Biographie im Insel Verlag, und Anna Kinder.

Rilke als Gartner

Von Rainer Maria Rilke Herausgegeben von Angelika Overath und Manfred Koch. Mit farbigen Abbildungen Wie in einem Paradiesgarten durchstreifen Tiere Rilkes Werk. Da tritt das fabelhafte Einhorn hervor, Delphine springen, Flamingos neigen ihr Haupt, Löwen brüllen, Schwäne gleiten. Hunde allerlei Art schmücken Landgüter oder verwildern in Städten. Der Dichter dreht gestürzte Marienkäfer auf der Fensterbank um, damit sie weiterleben können, und erfährt im Vogelflug seine Idee des »Weltinnenraums«. Auch wenn die Sphäre der Engel unzugänglich bleibt, geben Tiere doch Zeichen einer geheimen All-Verbundenheit der Wesen. Sie werden zu Lebenskomplizen, Echos der Seele. Die Anthologie versammelt Gedichte und Prosatexte aus Rilkes Werken, ergänzt durch ausgesuchte Tierbilder und abgerundet mit einem kundigen Nachwort der Herausgeber.

Wege nach Innen: 25 Gedichte

Herausgegeben von Herbert Schnierle-Lutz »Und wo bleibt das Positive?« wurde Erich Kästner immer wieder gefragt, wenn er seine zeitkritischen Gedichte und Kolumnen veröffentlichte. »Ja, weiß der Teufel, wo das bleibt«, antwortete er.Es ist nicht einfach in dieser Welt, Literatur zu schreiben, die das Leben ohne Wenn und Aber bejaht; das viele, das menschlich und gesellschaftlich im argen liegt, beansprucht die Aufmerksamkeit der Schriftsteller, die das Leben möglichst wirklichkeitsnah und ungeschönt darstellen wollen. Und außerdem ist das Positive, wenn es ab und zu doch zum Zuge kommt, »kein guter Stoff für Dichter«, wie der Schriftsteller Robert Walser einmal feststellte. Dennoch brauchen wir zuweilen auch Nachrichten vom Glück, wollen von positiven Erfahrungen und Erlebnissen lesen. Und manchmal tun uns die Dichter, allen Bedenken zum Trotz, den Gefallen. Hymnen und Lobpreisungen, die uns Mut machen, erblicken dann das Licht der Welt. Gedichte von Franz von Assisi bis Ingeborg Bachmann, von Goethe, Eichendorff und Mörike bis Wolf Biermann und Sarah Kirsch finden sich in diesem Band versammelt.

Es kommt ein neuer Tag, eine neue Nacht

By Rainer Maria RilkeTranslated by Geoffrey Lehmann “The New Poems are for me Rilke’s greatest poems, written under the shadow of ‘mon grand ami Auguste Rodin’ to whom their second volume was dedicated. They are ‘method’ poems. Not waiting for inspiration, but taking the handicraft of a poem, and setting himself subjects, the way a shoemaker might, or a sculptor. ‘Thing-poems,’ Dinggedichte, poems about things, but also poems that are ‘a thing.’ The two volumes are, in my view, two of the most beautifully made poetic sequences ever.” —Michael Hofmann ”In Rilke not only do the stones and trees become human—as they have done always and everywhere poems have been made—but humans become things and nameless beings and only then gain their ultimate humanity.” —Robert Musil Fresh, beautiful new translations of one of the most important poets of all time, publishing in celebration of the 150th anniversary of Rainer Maria Rilke’s birth. Rilke is one of the greatest poets of the twentieth century, revered throughout the world. Geoffrey Lehmann has selected fifty of Rilke’s finest poems from the two volumes of New Poems, considered the center of gravity of Rilke’s achievement. Lehmann’s refined ear and perfect mastery of English verse form give his renderings of Rilke a precision and poise equal to that of the German originals. In celebration of the 150th anniversary of Rilke’s birth, a master poet lives anew. Paperback128 pagesNYRB Poets, 20254.5 x 7 inchesISBN 9781681379944Poetry

Fifty Poems

By Linda Nochlin The fiftieth anniversary edition of the essay that is now recognized as the first major work of feminist art theory—published together with author Linda Nochlin’s reflections three decades later. Many scholars have called Linda Nochlin’s seminal essay on women artists the first real attempt at a feminist history of art. In her revolutionary essay, Nochlin refused to answer the question of why there had been no “great women artists” on its own corrupted terms, and instead, she dismantled the very concept of greatness, unraveling the basic assumptions that created the male-centric genius in art. With unparalleled insight and wit, Nochlin questioned the acceptance of a white male viewpoint in art history. And future freedom, as she saw it, requires women to leap into the unknown and risk demolishing the art world’s institutions in order to rebuild them anew. In this stand-alone anniversary edition, Nochlin’s essay is published alongside its reappraisal, “Thirty Years After.” Written in an era of thriving feminist theory, as well as queer theory, race, and postcolonial studies, “Thirty Years After” is a striking reflection on the emergence of a whole new canon. With reference to Joan Mitchell, Louise Bourgeois, Cindy Sherman, and many more, Nochlin diagnoses the state of women and art with unmatched precision and verve. “Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?” has become a slogan and rallying cry that resonates across culture and society. In the 2020s, Nochlin’s message could not be more urgent: as she put it in 2015, “There is still a long way to go.” Hardcover112 pagesThames & Hudson, 2021Originally published in 19714.7 x 7 x 2 inchesISBN 9780500023846Art Criticism, Theory

Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists? 50th Anniversary Edition

Edited by Frank SchmidtWith Contributions by Rebecca Duckwitz, Simone Ewald, and Wolfgang WernerWith Essays by Frank Schmidt This oversize volume examines the career of Paula Modersohn-Becker, a pioneering Expressionist who was largely unknown during her lifetime. Published in celebration of the 150th birthday of Paula Modersohn-Becker, an artist who remains one of the most important figures of the German avant-garde, this book examines her artistic development in depth and presents works from all phases of her career, with a particular focus on her early work, which has hitherto received little attention or recognition. Modersohn-Becker was one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century, and her works influenced such major figures as Georg Baselitz and Chantal Joffe. But how did Paula Becker, born in Dresden in 1876, become the artist Paula Modersohn-Becker? Numerous works from renowned collections and private holdings illustrate this fascinating story and demonstrate that she was following her own artistic path even in her student years. It was this path that made her the legend she became, celebrated in literature, film, and art. This oversized and lavishly illustrated publication celebrates the beloved artist with large reproductions of her most iconic works as well as seldom shown works.

Paula Modersohn-Becker: London–Berlin–Worpswede–Paris

Edited by Nadine Franci and Nina ZimmerWith Essays by Nadine Franci Presents an innovative new perspective on a star of classical modernism. Ernst Ludwig Kirchner’s (1880–1938) art is characterized by austere beauty and bold coloration. However, his creative approach extended far beyond the canvas: he saw the presentation and viewing of his works as integral elements of his art. This book shows Kirchner’s complete oeuvre through his own eyes. The world’s first major retrospective of Kirchner’s work was curated by the artist himself in 1933. In presenting the works, he created an exhibition entirely according to his own taste. This volume allows us to look over his shoulder once again and see how he approached both his artistic ideas and his curatorial strategies. Kirchner’s work continues to be exemplary of early twentieth-century art and one of the undisputed highlights of classical modernism.

Edited by Hedda Finke, Regina Freyberger, Stephan Von Wiese A journey through the beloved graphic cosmos of artist Max Beckmann, filled with surprising new discoveries about him. Around eighty works from each of the artist's creative phases reveal Max Beckmann as an idiosyncratic interpreter of the world. For him, drawing was existential: with pencil, chalk, pen, and pastel, he collected motifs, searched for new formal solutions and pictorial inventions, developed multi-layered compositions, and shaped his worldview. In the cosmos of his drawings, we get to know Beckmann anew. This volume offers fascinating insights into Beckmann's world along with findings from the catalog raisonné of his drawings. Rarely seen sheets and famous works from the Städel Museum's significant holdings and international collections take the reader on a journey through Beckmann's life--revealing his highly original artistic development, from his early period in Berlin to his final years as an émigré.

Van Gogh: Masters of Art

Written and illustrated by Xavier Coste Unveils the Austro-Hungarian artist's relationship with colleagues and models and the passions that drove him further into his craft. ―Douglas Rednour, Library Journal Schiele's brief, controversial career is examined with bold insights in this graphic biography... Coste doesn't shy away from the emotional brutality of Schiele's story. In fact, he embraces it, weaving elements of Schiele's eerie, idiosyncratic paintings with his own artistic style. Drawing on the same Expressionist techniques that drove Schiele's artistic passions, Coste conjures a story that beckons the reader to see the world through its subject's eyes. ―Publishers Weekly The story of the artistic genius who provoked early 20th-century tolerance. Egon Schiele is an evocative depiction based on the life of the Austro-Hungarian artist whose short career spanned the turn of the 20th century. Schiele (1890-1918) was a painter known for full-frontal portraits of naked women (and on many occasions, himself). They were stark and disturbing. He painted his subjects in gaunt, twisting and unnatural poses. Their voyeuristic tone and blatant eroticism outraged society, landing him in prison for 24 days. Nevertheless, his works would have a strong influence on the development of expressionist art. The book focuses on the artist's creative years, the development of his talent, his relationships with other artists, including Gustav Klimt, the women in his life, and his obsession with making provocative art. Quickly following Schiele's early successes were his failures. In the end, it was the Spanish flu that killed him at the tragically young age of 28. Egon Schiele is a seductive and intimate portrait of an artistic genius who was both lauded and condemned for his brilliance. His works, at one time judged to be disgusting and perverse, are now considered masterpieces and are in museums all around the world.
