Paul Klee, un artiste majeur du Bauhaus
Décryptez l'art de Paul Klee en moins d'une heure! Membre actif du Bauhaus, Paul Klee marque profondément le début du XXe siècle en prenant part à l'avènement de l'art abstrait. Avec plus de 9 000 œuvres à son catalogue, l'artiste surprend le monde entier par son travail qui révèle une réalité autre que celle dans laquelle nous vivons, tout en s'inspirant de la nature et de ses fondements. Grand amateur de musique, Paul Klee imprime un véritable rythme à son mouvement créateur et conçoit chacune de ses œuvres comme une partition. De même qu'un morceau doit être joué pour avoir un sens, une peinture ne trouve son aboutissement que dans l'œil du spectateur. Ce livre vous permettra d'en savoir plus sur: •Le contexte culturel dans lequel Paul Klee s'inscrit •La vie de l'artiste et son parcours •Les caractéristiques et spécificités de son art •Une sélection d'œuvres-clés de Klee •Son impact dans l'histoire de l'art Le mot de l'éditeur: « Dans ce numéro de la série 50MINUTES | Artistes, Marie-Julie Malache se penche sur la vie et l'œuvre de Paul Klee. Après une présentation globale de son art et de sa conception de l'artiste, comme intermédiaire entre le visible et l'invisible, on analyse quelques œuvres particulièrement emblématiques de son style: La Chapelle, Eros ou encore En rythme. Dans ce numéro, nous avons voulu mettre l'accent sur l'étonnante variété de la production de Klee. » Stéphanie Felten À PROPOS DE LA SÉRIE 50MINUTES | Artistes La série « Artistes » de la collection 50MINUTES aborde plus de cinquante artistes qui ont profondément marqué l'histoire de l'art, du Moyen Âge à nos jours.

Peripheral Desires
InPeripheral Desires, Robert Deam Tobin charts the emergence, from the 1830s through the early twentieth century, of a new vocabulary and science of human sexuality in the writings of literary authors, politicians, and members of the medical establishment in German-speaking central Europe-and observes how consistently these writers, thinkers, and scientists associated the new nonnormative sexualities with places away from the German metropoles of Berlin and Vienna. In the writings of Aimée Duc and Lou Andreas-Salomé, Switzerland figured as a place for women in particular to escape the sexual confines of Germany. The sexual ethnologies of Ferdinand Karsch-Haack and the popular novels of Karl May linked nonnormative sexualities with the colonies and, in particular, with German Samoa. Same-sex desire was perhaps the most centrifugal sexuality of all, as so-called Greek love migrated to numerous places and peoples: a curious connection between homosexuality and Hungarian nationalism emerged in the writings of Adalbert Stifter and Karl Maria Kerbeny; Arnold Zweig built on a long and extremely well-developed gradation of associating homosexuality with Jewishness, projecting the entire question of same-sex desire onto the physical territory of Palestine; and Thomas Mann, of course, famously associated male-male desire with the fantastically liminal city of Venice, lying between land and sea, Europe and the Orient. As Germany-and German-speaking Europe-became a fertile ground for homosexual subcultures in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, what factors helped construct the sexuality that emerged?Peripheral Desiresexamines how and why the political, scientific and literary culture of the region produced the modern vocabulary of sexuality.
Framing attention : windows on modern German culture
In Framing Attention, Lutz Koepnick explores different concepts of the window—in both a literal and a figurative sense—as manifested in various visual forms in German culture from the nineteenth century to the present. He offers a new interpretation of how evolving ways of seeing have characterized and defined modernity. Koepnick examines the role and representation of window frames in modern German culture—in painting, photography, architecture, and literature, on the stage and in public transportation systems, on the film screen and on television. He presents such frames as interfaces that negotiate competing visions of past and present, body and community, attentiveness and distraction. From Adolph Menzel's window paintings of the 1840s to Nam June Paik's experiments with television screens, from Richard Wagner's retooling of the proscenium stage to Adolf Hitler's use of a window as a means of political self-promotion, Framing Attention offers a theoretically incisive understanding of how windows shape and reframe the way we see the world around us and our place within it. Errata: Chapter 2, \"Richard Wagner and the Framing of Modern Empathy\" Credit for two translations and for a seminal discussion of empathy theory was inadvertently omitted by the author. The reader should have been directed to two essays by Juliet Koss: \"Bauhaus Theater of Human Dolls, \" The Art Bulletin 85, no. 4 (December 2003): 724–45 and \"On the Limits of Empathy, \" The Art Bulletin 88, no. 1 (March 2006): 139–57.
