Amsterdam, Joods Historisch Museum, 2012. 106 pp. Illustr. Fine copy. Softcover. Bilingual publication. Text in Dutch and English. This publication shows the artistic development of seven Jewish artists from Romania, exploring Segal's Neo-Impressionist art, Tzara's Dada experiments, Brauner's Surrealist works, Jaco's portraits, landscapes, and genre scenes, and Maxy's growing interest in social themes. The younger artists Jules Perahim and Paul Paun, inspired by their predecessors, were at the forefront of Surrealism. The crucial, trailblazing role of Jews from Rumania as innovators in the visual arts has received little attention. The lives and work of these seven men also shed light on the relationship between Jewish identity and radical modernity. Together, they confirm the importance of Bucharest in European avant-garde art.…

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 205 pages : illustrations, portraits (some color) ; 26 cm. The late nineteenth-century invention of "fashion" as we understand it today inspired avant-garde artists of the period to create an art form to counter commercial fashion. These artists saw clothing not as a symbol of class distinction but as a force for shaping experience—an opportunity to make things new, to go beyond the traditional boundaries of art. For many artists, therefore, dress design was too important to be left to the fashion designers; they would appropriate clothing as an art form that could break through the traditional boundaries of "pure" art to act directly on life. Against Fashion is the history of the modern relationship between artists and this ideal "anti-fashion." Radu Stern traces the development of clothes as art by artists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He discusses contributions to the new art form by various artistic movements of the historical avant-garde, including Art Nouveau, the Werkbund, Cubism, Futurism, Constructivism, and the Bauhaus; he examines the work of such key figures as Henry van de Velde, Gustav Klimt, and Sonia Delaunay. The book includes more than 100 illustrations, many in color, as well as an anthology of essential writings and documents by artists and writers of the period, some of them translated into English for the first time. The artists and works examined display a diversity of styles and ideas, but all share the desire to reject the mercantile logic of commercial fashion and replace it with a utopian "anti-fashion.".…

Hardback. Condition: New. 2022 ed. This book is a comprehensive introduction to the relationship between communism (understood as an ideological, political, and social project) and culture, broadly defined as the field of aesthetic production. Communism was a global phenomenon, and the global civil war of the 20th century was, in more than one respect, a cultural war, which involved some of the most influential figures of the last century. The book highlights and explains the impact of political mythologies in the effiorts to transcend the "bourgeois" legacies and engage in a social, cultural, and anthropological revolution. The authors examine the interplay between utopian goals and cultural practices in fields such as literature, visual arts, film, and humanities in general.…
