Softcover. Condition: Fair. Unbekannte Unterschrift / Widmung; Leichte Gebrauchsspuren. References to the Gesamtkunstwerk, or "total work of art," frequently appear in discussions of modern art and culture, often highlighting a blend of various art forms that evoke strong emotions, hinder critical thought, and create a passive audience. Originating from Richard Wagner in 1849, this concept has been applied to diverse contexts, including 1920s Berlin cinema palaces and Andy Warhol's 1960s Factory. Juliet Koss examines the history and legacy of Wagner's idea, detailing its origins and the political, aesthetic, and cultural backdrop from which it arose, while tracing its evolution through the 1930s. Koss begins with Wagner's articulation of the Gesamtkunstwerk following the 1848-49 revolution, exploring key moments in German aesthetic theory and artistic practice. This includes Wagner's efforts to establish a theater for his music dramas, leading to the Bayreuth festival theater's construction in 1876; developments in visual arts, theater, film, and radio from the 1870s to the 1920s; the founding of the Darmstadt Artists' Colony in 1901 and the Munich Artists' Theater in 1908; and Bauhaus performances in the 1920s and 1930s. Koss also addresses the concept's appropriation by National Socialism, emphasizing its revolutionary roots and potential for emancipation. This rigorously researched work positions the Gesamtkunstwerk as central to modern art and culture.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In his lifetime, "Xanti" (Alexander) Schawinsky (1904-79) was best known for his work in the theater department at the Bauhaus. Fleeing Germany before the beginning of the Second World War, he landed at Black Mountain College in North Carolina, where in the 1930s he developed his theory of the "Spectodrama." Involving multimedia productions examining elementary phenomena such as space, motion, light, sound or color from scientific, technical and performance-based perspectives, the Spectodrama represents an early form of the "happening." Beyond the avant-garde utopias of the Bauhaus and his proto-happening art, Schawinsky also worked as a painter and graphic designer.Protracted legal disputes over the artist's estate meant that Schawinsky's work was until recently almost inaccessible; Xanti Schawinsky is the first survey of Schawinsky's extraordinarily prolific output over the course of five decades, and a long-overdue resource on the work of this key figure.
