Title: OSKAR SCHLEMMER : Visions of a New World
Author: Conzen, Ina (ed)
Price: Not Available
ISBN: 9783777423043
Description: Munich: Hirmer, 2015. 28cm., hardcover, 300pp., 352 illus., most in color. English text. Exhibition held at Staatsgalerie Stuttgart. Summary: The catalogue accompanying the first comprehensive Schlemmer retrospective for almost forty years presents over 250 high-quality works, in particular the seven original costumes of the Triadisches Ballett (Triadic Ballet) together with rare documents of the time. The connection between the all-encompassing attempts at reform of the Bauhaus are discussed as well as Schlemmer’s vain attempts to reconcile his “unpolitical” art with the Nazi dictatorship’s ideas of state-controlled art. The focus will be directed towards Schlemmer’s lofty ethical demands, which always regarded man, typified as a “Kunstfigur” (artistic figure) as the “measure of all things".
