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.
Ferdinand Hodler and Modernist Berlin

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.

Book Description
Swiss painter Ferdinand Hodler (1853-1918) is one of Europe's most influential artistic personalities, whose work bridged the styles of Realism, Symbolism, and the modern period. Despite initial praise, his extensive oeuvre has not always been an object of admiration; its diversity and originality, however, deserve international re-evaluation. Hodler's symbolist vision of a large, harmonious union of man and nature is expressed both in unique and monumental figurative compositions, and in stylized landscapes of sheer mountain peaks and glinting lakes. Twenty-five years since the last retrospective, this fresh and extensive assessment of Hodler's paintings invites the viewer to explore his work anew; on the one hand it represents a unique view of turn-of-the-century art and Symbolism, on the other it demonstrates a powerful and genuine interest in the depiction of man.

Ferdinand Hodler: Elective Affinities from Klimt to Schiele
Author: Hans-Peter WipplingerPublisher: Walther Konig Verlag
ISBN:
Category : Art nouveau
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.
