These diametrically opposed impulses, one driven by ebullient hedonism, and the other by cerebral restraint, together shaped the major artistic achievements of the era. 1910 stands out as a pivotal year, when these contrasting drives engaged in a dynamic dialogue.\u003cbr\u003eThe book explores the triumph of Expressionism and the emergence of Futurism, characterized by an intensified use of strong color and an increasing embrace of abstract elements. It also addresses the opposite side of the spectrum — the countertrend of Cubism and the use of subdued colors, rigorous structure, and intellectual order.  \u003cbr\u003eModernist themes, such as celebrating the city and new technologies, are juxtaposed with traditional subjects, particularly figural studies and idealized landscapes, as artists sought to reclaim a lost utopia by adopting the language of classical austerity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn exploration of how two artistic and diametrically opposed movements shaped an era\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes an introductory text describing the year’s key cultural and historical events \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEssays illuminate developments in the arts set against the social upheavals of the times\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRichly illustrated with 120 colour reproductions of important artworks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by a team of experts and published in association with the Neue Galerie New York\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis fascinating volume provides a contextual background to consider the seismic developments that occurred in the fine arts during the eventful year of 1910.\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Prestel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48986609025279,"sku":"9783819500688","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9783819500688","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
