From time to time I discover largely forgotten artists and architects whose work immediately strikes me as original and which leaves me wondering why they aren’t better known. One such artist is Franz Pauli (1927-70), a painter and stained glass artist based in Cologne. In fact Pauli studied biology and art at the Cologne Werkkunstschule, the Düsseldorf Art Academy and Cologne University to become a teacher but never worked as one. Among his teachers were Otto Pankok in Düsseldorf and Friedrich Vordemberge-Gildewart in Cologne and especially the latter’s example of Constructivism had a lasting impact on Pauli: up until his untimely death Pauli refined his constructivist language towards a highly individual idiom characterized by distinctive sense of rhythm and order inspired by technical symbols and circuitry. This formal vocabulary he also applied in his manifold stained glass designs for churches in predominantly the Cologne, Paderborn and Essen dioceses.

The present little book, published alongside the artist‘s retrospective exhibition at Maternushaus Köln in 1988, contains a brief cross-section of Pauli‘s œuvre that includes stained glass works, graphics, paintings and gouaches. The latter are characterized by horizontal and vertical layers that sometimes even include figurative elements, a significant deviation from his other works. It seems that Pauli despite his largely constructivist art never completely abandoned figuration as it frequently appears in his stained glass works too. In spite of his early death the artist left a very interesting and diverse oeuvre that unfortunately is very much forgotten.

Published for the exhibition: The Sitwells and the Arts of the 1920s and 1930s, held at the National Portrait Gallery from 14 October 1994 to 22 January 1995.

'Battle is in the curve of their nostrils', wrote Arnold Bennett of the Sitwells. 'They issue forth from their bright pavilions and demand trouble.' Poets, patrons of the arts and ardent self-publicists, the three siblings, Edith, Osbert and Sacheverell, rarely missed an opportunity to promote themselves or denounce their sworn enemy, the philistine. They were natural subjects, and targets for the media. Unconventional, aristocratic, physically imposing (all more than six feet tall), they were bold, talented and provocative, and there were three of them. This book celebrates their lives and their artistic crusade, which brought them into contact and conflict with many of the leading figures of the arts in the early part of this century. Gertrude Stein, T. S. Eliot, Dylan Thomas and Evelyn Waugh were among their friends; their favourite enemies included Wyndham Lewis, Noel Coward and D. H. Lawrence.

New book – Model (2011-2021) @richardbakes

“The forthcoming publication should therefore not be a mere catalogue mapping a decade of one institution’s operation, but at the same time a kind of probe into the recent artistic events taking place at the intersection of its diverse positions.”

(Viktor Čech, 2021)

[germanpostwarmodern]

The First World War for many German artists was a catalytic experience that changed their work forever. Although Max Beckmann “only” volunteered as medical orderly and unlike e.g. Otto Dix didn’t sit tight in the trenches, the experience initiated a drastic shift in his work: where before Beckmann had dealt with historical topics in a late impressionist idiom that channeled influences from Rembrandt, Goya and early Cézanne, from 1915 onwards his style developed into what he himself coined „transcendental objectivity“, an amalgamation of Expressionism, Cubism and late medieval art. It was a direct reaction to the horrors he was confronted with as medical orderly and followed a nervous breakdown in the same year: biblical scenes, crammed into tight spaces and painted in a flat instead of spatial manner from now on are the new direction in Beckmann’s oeuvre. In brutal, almost nightmarish tableaus classical scenes like „Descent from the Cross“ and „Christ and the Sinner“ Beckmann processed the turmoils of war and the societal upheaval it triggered way beyond the end of the war.

Late last year the Neue Galerie in New York dedicated a comprehensive exhibition to Max Beckmann’s formative years between 1915 and 1925 which was accompanied by the eponymous catalogue published by Prestel. In crisp reproductions it features the paintings, drawings and lithographs presented in the exhibition but also features insightful essays by curator Olaf Peters and others. The former provides an excellent analysis of the artists’ dramatic stylistic changes and his reaction to postwar Germany with a particular focus on the disabled veterans. In the lithographic portfolio „Hell“ from 1919 he depicts the traumatized survivors and takes a biting satirical look on postwar society that also represents a link to his later Circus-themed works.

What both exhibition and catalogue quite plainly show is the incredible urgency contained in Beckmann’s works between 1915 and 1925 and with what radicality he reacted to the fault lines in postwar society. At the same time this period forms the basis for all the later works, one of the many reasons for me to warmly recommended the catalogue!

Mostra Udine, Chiesa di San Francesco, 15 luglio - 21 agosto 2005

Il libro prende in esame il ricamo della regione Friuli, partendo dalle testimonianze più antiche, ancora oggi conservate nei musei regionali, sino ad arrivare ad interpretazioni attuali di ricami eseguiti ai giorni nostri. Tanti sono i riferimenti storici e le fotografie a colori dei capi che ci trasportano a epoche lontane, che ci hanno tramandato tecniche e punti molto belli. Interessante è notare come l’arte del ricamo, spesso definita “arte minore”, abbia conservato inalterato il suo fascino e possa vantare ancora una grossa popolarità a dispetto di altre arti, forse più rinomate, ma meno praticate.

Motifs d'Artistes

Une histoire du design dans l’industrie textile depuis le 18e siècle

L’exposition « Motifs d’artistes, une histoire du design dans l’industrie textile depuis le 18e siècle » revient sur l’origine du métier de designer textile et le rôle des artistes dans la création de motifs. Depuis les dessinateurs employés par les manufactures de soieries et d’indiennes, jusqu’à l’apparition des designers textiles, l’exposition questionne la diversité́ de leur statut et l’évolution de la reconnaissance de leur art. En s’adaptant aux contraintes techniques propres à ce domaine, ces inventeurs de formes ont donné naissance à de véritables ornements, reflets de leur univers artistique, des tendances et des pratiques de consommation de leur temps. Ainsi, Jean-Baptiste Huet, William Morris, Raoul Dufy ou encore Sonia Delaunay ont laissé une empreinte indélébile dans le répertoire des arts décoratifs.

Jouy-en-Josas, Musée de la Toile de Jouy dal 16 Giugno 2023 al 14 Gennaio 2024
