Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Play Life Illusion - the retrospective in book form refers to the title of a performance which Xanti Schawinsky developed in 1936 with students at Black Mountain College. The Swiss artist who worked at the Bauhaus in Weimar and Dessau emigrated in the 1930s via Italy to the United States. The volume assembles autobiographical texts and letters regarding the life's work of the multimedia artist and designer.During his time at the Bauhaus Xanti Schawinsky learned that it is possible to be both an artist and a designer at the same time if your passion for and joy in experimentation are simply big enough. And so he repeatedly re-invented himself as a stage and exhibition designer, painter and graphic artist, teacher and photographer. He made friends, allies and colleagues who included not only Bauhaus artists like Walter Gropius and Herbert Bayer but also avant-garde artists like Marcel Duchamp. Texts, accompanying explanations and lively illustrations recreate his life and times. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

In his own lifetime, Swiss artist Xanti Schawinsky was best known for the theatrical work he developed at the Bauhaus. During his Bauhaus years Schawinsky made albums of collaged photographs and papers, personal as well as artistic. Xanti Schawinsky: The Album is based on the albums Schawinsky conceived during his tenure in the Bauhaus theater department, working documents which provide clues to his later work at Black Mountain College and beyond. This volume presents a wealth of previously unpublished photographs and documents from this formative stage in Schawinsky's development, offering the first opportunity to explore this material in a format reproducing that of the original album. Xanti Schawinsky: The Album is published in a limited edition of 1,000 copies in collaboration with the artist's estate. English language.
