Fernand Leger

Carolyn Lanchner; Fernand Leger; Kristen Erickson; Matthew Affron; Jodi Hauptman; N.Y.) Museum of Modern Art (New York; Carolyn Lancher; Beth Handler

Fernand Leger (1881-1955) is the only modern artist to choose modernity itself as his subject. From his early series Contrastes de formes (1913-14), the first fully abstract works to emerge from Cubism, through his last realistic paintings of construction workers from the early 1950s, Leger's lifelong subject was the pulse and dynamism of contemporary life. This book accompanies a major retrospective exhibition that opens at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, on February 15, 1998 -- the first comprehensive, in-depth survey of Leger's work in the United States since the artist's death. Of all the major painters of his generation, Leger was the most adroit negotiator in the century's long quarrel between abstraction and representation. Here, superb reproductions of both paintings and drawings span all aspects of his work. The texts include a notable account of Leger's experiences in the United States during his several visits and wartime residency and a look at the conceptual links between his art and American culture.

The Photomontages of Hannah Hoch

Carolyn Lanchner; Hannah Hoch

Hannah Hoch, one of the most important artistic figures of the Weimar Republic, is known primarily as a pioneer in photomantage, for her immense influence in the development of twentieth-century collage, and for her involvement with the Dada movement. This beautifully designed catalogue celebrates the first comprehensive survey of her work by an American museum and presents a complete retrospective of Hoch's work in photomontage. With over 100 color plates, three in-depth essays, and an illustrated chronology, it documents Hoch's relationship to this century's major art movements -- such as Surrealism and Pop Art -- and discusses her critique of mass media's treatment of gender roles, attitudes toward race, the social impact of technology, and the rise of fascism.
