Book Description
Ferdinand Hodler's expressive figure paintings, mountain landscapes and portraits are icons of modernism. Even during his lifetime, the work of the Swiss painter (1853-1918), who helped shape Symbolism, attracted great international attention. Contemporaries saw in Hodler above all the human actor, "who knows how to shape the soul through the body", said the artist Paul Klee in 1911. What is hardly known today: Hodler's path to fame also led via Berlin. Alongside Paris, Vienna and Munich, the imperial capital had developed into one of the most important European art metropolises at the beginning of the 20th century. These cities offered Hodler the opportunity to make his work known beyond the Swiss borders. With around 50 paintings by Hodler and works by Lovis Corinth and Hans Thoma, among others, who exhibited with Hodler in Berlin, his success story on the Spree is told for the first time.

Being Modern
Author: Robert Bud
Publisher: UCL Press
ISBN: 1787353931
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 440
Book Description
In the early decades of the twentieth century, engagement with science was commonly used as an emblem of modernity. This phenomenon is now attracting increasing attention in different historical specialties. Being Modern builds on this recent scholarly interest to explore engagement with science across culture from the end of the nineteenth century to approximately 1940. Addressing the breadth of cultural forms in Britain and the western world from the architecture of Le Corbusier to working class British science fiction, Being Modern paints a rich picture. Seventeen distinguished contributors from a range of fields including the cultural study of science and technology, art and architecture, English culture and literature examine the issues involved. The book will be a valuable resource for students, and a spur to scholars to further examination of culture as an interconnected web of which science is a critical part, and to supersede such tired formulations as 'Science and culture'.

Ferdinand Hodler: Elective Affinities from Klimt to Schiele
Author: Hans-Peter Wipplinger
Publisher: Walther Konig Verlag
ISBN:
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
Swiss painter Ferdinand Hodler (1853-1918) was an exponent of Symbolism and Jugendstil, a pioneer of Expressionism and an innovator of monumental painting. Hodler's significance can also be charted through those he influenced in Viennese Modernist circles, such as Gustav Klimt, Koloman Moser, Oskar Kokoschka and Egon Schiele. Hodler's landscapes, self-portraits and portraits of women (such as the haunting series following the death of his lover Valentine God -Darel) bristle with barely restrained energy and color, paving the way for the expressionistic, decorative experiments of the next generation of artists. Published to accompany the artists' most comprehensive exhibition in Austria since his resounding success at the 1904 Secession, Ferdinand Hodler: Elective Affinities from Klimt to Schiele explores the main themes of Hodler's work and puts him in the context of his peers and followers.

Languages : en
Pages : 158
Book Description
Ferdinand Hodler was one of the famous Swiss painters of the 19th century. His early maturity paintings were landscapes, figure compositions, and portraits, treated with a strong realism. He made a voyage to Basel in 1875, where he studied the paintings of Hans Holbein. In the last decade of the 19th century his work progressed to combine influences from several genres including symbolism and art nouveau. He developed a style which he called "Parallelism", characterized by groupings of figures symmetrically arranged in poses suggesting ritual or dance. Hodler's work in his final phase took on an expressionist aspect with strongly colored and geometrical figures. Landscapes were pared down to essentials, sometimes consisting of a jagged wedge of land between water and sky. These mystical, non-realistic paintings depicting an escape from the bourgeois cares of modern life gained Hodler first notoriety and then popularity.
