Hardcover, pictor. boards, 127pp., 24x27cm., ills. in col. and b/w., new.!! ISBN 9783777441214. The line is a central theme in 20th century sculpture. On the basis of over 50 masterpieces from the first class art collection of the Kasser/Mochary Family Foundation, this book provides an enlightening perspective on the art of Modernsim and its development towards abstraction by juxtaposing sculpture and graphic art. This focus on line leads to an often surprising view. The aim of finding a figure in a single line defined the graphic work of subsequent generations of artists. Paul Cezanne, Edgar Degas, Henri Matisse, Paul Gauguin, Giorgio de Chirico, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Alberto Giacometti, Alexander Archipenko and other zealously experimented with lines as formative elements in their sculptures and drawings. Die Linie ist ein zentrales Thema fur die Bildhauerei des 20. Jahrhunderts. Anhand von Meisterwerken der klassischen Moderne beleuchtet der Band in der spannungsvollen Gegenuberstellung von Skulptur und Zeichnung die Faszination, die das darstellerische Mittel der Linie auf die Kunstler ausubte. Auguste Rodins beruhmte Bronzeskulptur ? L?Eternelle Idole? (Das ewige Idol) aus dem Jahr 1893, mit deren Ankauf das Ehepaar Kasser 1971 seine Sammlung grundete, kundigt bereits an, womit sich die Bildhauerei des 20. Jahrhunderts auf der Suche nach neuen Volumina verstarkt beschaftigen sollte: die schopferische Auseinandersetzung mit der Linie. Das Bestreben, die Figur in einer einzigen Linie zu finden, bestimmt ebenso das zeichnerische Werk der folgenden Kunstlergenerationen. Paul Cezanne, Edgar Degas, Henri Matisse, Paul Gauguin, Giorgio De Chirico, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Alberto Giacometti, Alexander Archipenko und andere experimentierten in ihren Skulpturen und Zeichnungen intensiv mit der Linie als formgebendem Element und fanden dabei zu ganz unterschiedlichen Losungen. Anhand von uber funfzig Meisterwerken aus der hochkaratigen Kunstsammlung der Kasser/Mochary Family Foundation wahlt der Band in der Gegenuberstellung von Skulptur und Zeichnung einen aufschlussreichen Blickwinkel auf die Kunst der Moderne und ihre Entwicklung hin zur Abstraktion. Im Fokus auf die Linie entfaltet sich so eine oft uber? -raschende Sicht auf die Skulptur des 20. Jahrhunderts. 0 g.…
