The Blue Rider the Blue Rider The Blue Rider Centenary Symposium 25-26 November 2011 Starr Auditorium, Tate Modern This symposium celebrates the centenary of the first exhibition of The Blue Rider at Galerie Thannhauser in Munich in December 1911. This two-day event will establish divergent as well as related patterns of intention, outcome and influence presented under the name Der Blaue Reiter and explore its ongoing legacies and relevance today. In collaboration with University of Bristol and Cardiff School of Art and Design Supported by the British Academy and the Bristol Gallery 25 November 10:30 Welcome by Marko Daniel 10.35 Introduction by Dorothy Rowe and Christopher Short 10.45 Annegret Hoberg Overview of Blaue Reiter This paper draws an outline about the formation, development and activities of the Blaue Reiter movement. Beyond the structure of names and facts it points out the main specifics of the group: In which way it differs from the other artistic groupings of its time, like the German Expressionists around Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Erich Heckel, the Cubists around Pablo Picasso and George Braque, or the Italian Futurists. It points out this difference in the choice for the first Blaue Reiter exhibition in the Munich Galerie Thannhauser 1911/12, in the content of the Almanach and further writings of the protagonists, in the afterlife of their ideas and in their works. 11.25 Peter Vergo The Gesamtkunstwerk revisited: shape, form and appearance of the Blaue Reiter Almanac Like Jessica Horsley’s contribution that follows, this paper points to Kandinsky’s Russian sources of inspiration. It suggests that, while Wagner’s notion of the Gesamtkunstwerk was undoubtedly relevant to the ‘ Blue Rider idea’, Kandinsky probably owed what little he knew about Wagner to the Russian impresario Sergei Diaghilev, editor of the periodical The World of Art, another important precedent for Der Blaue Reiter. 12.05 Jessica Horsley From Russia with Love: the Blaue Reiter Almanac and Studiia Impressionistov This paper establishes Studiia Impressionistov as the single most important precedent for Der Blaue Reiter by examining the significant interconnections between the contributors and contributions to the two publications; comparing their structure, situating them in the perspective of periodical publications; and rooting the debate in its cultural and scholarly contexts. 12.30 Panel discussion and Q&A 12.55 Break 13.55 Claudia Delank Der Blaue Reiter and Japanese Art As Der Blaue Reiter was a global project encompassing a variety of art forms from different cultures on an international scale it is especially interesting that the leading artists of the group have extensively collected Japanese art. This paper will discuss the influence of Japanese art on Franz Marc, August Macke and Wassily Kandinsky based on new research. What did the artist select from Japanese art? How did Japanese art help them in the process of to formulate their abstract art? In what way did Japanese art serve as a role model? The presentation addresses the key role of Japanese art for the painters of Der Blaue Reiter in their search for the lost unity between life and the world. 14.20 Katherine Kuenzli The Primitive and the Modern in Der Blaue Reiter and the Folkwang Museum This paper examines intersections between Der Blaue Reiter and the Folkwang Museum, one venue for the group’s 1912 exhibition. Founded by Karl Ernst Osthaus and designed by Henry van de Velde in 1902, the Folkwang was the first and only museum before 1914 to display modern and ‘primitive ’ works alongside each other. The Folkwang Museum provides an important context for Der Blaue Reiter ’s assertion that modernist and ‘primitive ’ art sprang from a common spiritual impulse. 14.45 Christian Weikop The ‘Savages’ of Germany: A Reassessment of Brücke and Blauer Reiter 15.10 Panel discussion and Q&A 15.35 Tea break 15.50 Mercedes Valdivieso Horsewomen at Der Blaue Reiter? The purpose of this presentation is to show the participation of several women in Der Blaue Reiter , not only as artists (Gabriele Münter, Elisabeth Epstein, Marianne Werefkin, Natalia Gontscharova, Maria Marc), but also as providing support, whether ideological, logistical or financial. To these we must add the contributions of Emmy Worringer and Elisabeth Erdmann-Macke, who, although they were not artists, helped to realize the projects of Der Blaue Reiter . 16.15 Nathan Timpano Feeling Blue: Der Blaue Reiter at the Tate Gallery, circa 1960 In 1960, Tate launched a retrospective exhibition of Der Blaue Reiter, which, according to the contemporary press, was a failed endeavour. One critic derided the show for being too intellectually minded, and suggested that this German movement was only historically – and not artistically – significant. This paper alternatively proposes that the non-unified aesthetic of Der Blaue Reiter was the catalyst for the exhibition’s non-laudatory reception, given that it defied traditional, curatorial practices. 16.40 Shulamith Behr Female artistic identity and creativity in the Blaue Reiter Although women artists were welcome in the two exhibitions of the ‘Editors of the Blaue Reiter’ , their role is regarded as peripheral to the centrality of Kandinsky’s and Marc’s collaborative enterprise. But does this necessarily mean that Gabriele Münter was merely spectator to this new and evolving male artistic partnership or did the Blaue Reiter exhibitions harbour the staging of more complex notions of gendered authorship and agency? Certainly, in 1913, the notion of a ‘blaue Reiterreiterin' was entertained in the correspondence between the poet and writer Else Lasker-Schüler and Marianne Werefkin. Used as a metaphor, the term suggests the integration of the rider and horsewoman, Werefkin being addressed as both ‘wilder Junge’ and ‘süsse Malerin’. This paper aims to go beyond stereotypical categories of binary thinking about the nature of masculinity and femininity in exploring women artists’ positioning in this avant-garde group. 17.05 Panel discussion and Q&A 17.30 Drinks in the Starr Auditorium Foyer 26 November 10:30 Introduction 10.35 Grahame Weinbren Kandinsky: A Close Look (2009) Commissioned by the Guggenheim Museum for the 2009-2010 Kandinsky retrospective, this film focuses on three paintings from 1913. A different approach is taken toward each: Painting with White Border starts with Kandinsky's essay discussing the painting, Small Pleasures uses eyetracking to investigate how viewers actually look at the work, and for Black Lines composer Dean Drummond was commissioned to write a score using the colour-sound connections proposed by Kandinsky. 11.15 Debbie Lewer Kleinkunst and Gesamtkunstwerk in Munich and Zurich: Der Blaue Reiter and Dada This paper examines the connections between Der Blaue Reiter in Munich and Dada in Zurich in 1916-17. It appraises the significance of Kandinsky for Hugo Ball’s thinking about art. It explores how both the Blaue Reiter and early Dada aspired to a synthesis of Kleinkunst and Gesamtkunstwerk. Finally, it considers aspects of the ‘failure’ of Dada in Zurich on its original terms. 11.40 Annie Bourneuf Letters and Things: Wassily Kandinsky and Walter Benjamin on Language and Perception This paper explores how Wassily Kandinsky's writings provoked Walter Benjamin to rethink the relation between language and perception. Benjamin's philosophy of language draws on the procedures Kandinsky proposes in Der Blaue Reiter and elsewhere for defamiliarizing words –for perceiving them as if they were incomprehensible. However, whereas Kandinsky argues for the expressive power of the visual shape of written language, Benjamin sees the word's ‘skeleton ’ as expressionless in the extreme. 12.05 Colin Rhodes The Great Realism, or how the Blue Rider Almanac invented Self-Taught Art 12.30 Panel discussion and Q&A 12.55 Break 13.55 Stelarc THE SOUND OF SKIN: YELLOW AVATAR / BLUE SKY. A performance in Second Life using a Kinect interface that allows the actuation and animation of an avatar using the body’s gestures and postures in a virtual space of interactive objects and colors. Choreographing the movements and collisions of the avatar composes the sounds of the performance. There is a an acoustical counterpoint between the physical body and its virtual flesh. 14.35 Gregory Zinman Machines that Make Yellow Sounds: The Legacy of Kandinsky’s Light 15.00 Tea break 15.25 Sarah McGavran Die Tunisreise: The Legacy of Der Blaue Reiter in the Art of Paul Klee and Nacer Khemir Der Blaue Reiter’s emphasis on intercultural exchange shaped Klee’s engagement with the arts of Tunisia and determined his legacy for Tunisian artist and filmmaker Khemir. In ‘Die Tunisreise,’ his 2007 collaboration with Swiss director Bruno Moll, Khemir retraces Klee’s travels. For Khemir, Klee’s Tunisian watercolors reconcile Islamic and modernist abstraction and provide alternate views to popular representations of Islam. 15.50 Rose-Carol Washton Long Is the Blaue Reiter relevant for the Twenty-First Century? The Blaue Reiter has been characterized as remote from everyday life and political concerns. I plan to counter these claims and demonstrate how anarchist strategies of shock to free society from entrenched rules emboldened Kandinsky and Marc to promote and display multiple types of dissonance. Their work, in this regard, makes them relevant yet again to contemporary practices. 16.15 Panel discussion and Q&A 16.55 Closing Remarks 17.00 Yellow Sound performance .

  • Der Blaue Reiter (London, 25-26 Nov 11)
    Der Blaue Reiter (London, 25-26 Nov 11) Tate Modern, London, Nov 25–26, 2011 Deadline: Feb 28, 2011 Amber McClory Der Blaue Reiter - Call for papers 25 - 26 November 2011 This conference celebrates the centenary of the first exhibition of Der Blaue Reiter. This occasion presents a perfect opportunity to review and extend existing scholarship in the field of German Expressionist studies. The formation of what is commonly, though erroneously, referred to as the German Expressionist ‘artists’ group’ Der Blaue Reiter, was signalled on 18 December 1911 at the Galerie Thannhauser in Munich via an exhibition enigmatically entitled ‘The First Exhibition of the Editors of the Blaue Reiter’. This was the first of what turned out to be only two exhibitions held by an emergent group of avant-garde artists organised by Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc. The title of the first exhibition pointed towards what was to be one of the artists’ most significant group achievements, the production of the almanac Der Blaue Reiter, published in Munich in 1912 by avant-garde supporter and publisher, Reinhard Piper. Der Blaue Reiter was a global project encompassing a variety of art forms and essays on an inter- national scale, including work as diverse as Japanese art, Russian folk art, children’s drawings, Bavarian glass painting and artworks by contemporary European artists, musicians and writers. Such diverse content suggests a number of related research questions that remain important to scholars, but that have not been previously addressed together. The conference will seek to estab- lish the divergent as well as related patterns of intention, outcome and influence presented under the name Der Blaue Reiter and explore its legacies for today.

  • CUBISM and ABSTRACTION Background
    015_Cubism_Abstraction.doc READINGS: CUBISM AND ABSTRACTION Background: Apollinaire, On Painting Apollinaire, Various Poems Background: Magdalena Dabrowski, "Kandinsky: Compositions" Kandinsky, Concerning the Spiritual in Art Background: Serial Music Background: Eugen Weber, CUBISM, Movements, Currents, Trends, p. 254. As part of the great campaign to break through to reality and express essentials, Paul Cezanne had developed a technique of painting in almost geometrical terms and concluded that the painter "must see in nature the cylinder, the sphere, the cone:" At the same time, the influence of African sculpture on a group of young painters and poets living in Montmartre - Picasso, Braque, Max Jacob, Apollinaire, Derain, and Andre Salmon - suggested the possibilities of simplification or schematization as a means of pointing out essential features at the expense of insignificant ones. Both Cezanne and the Africans indicated the possibility of abstracting certain qualities of the subject, using lines and planes for the purpose of emphasis. But if a subject could be analyzed into a series of significant features, it became possible (and this was the great discovery of Cubist painters) to leave the laws of perspective behind and rearrange these features in order to gain a fuller, more thorough, view of the subject. The painter could view the subject from all sides and attempt to present its various aspects all at the same time, just as they existed-simultaneously. We have here an attempt to capture yet another aspect of reality by fusing time and space in their representation as they are fused in life, but since the medium is still flat the Cubists introduced what they called a new dimension-movement.

  • The Study of the Relationship Between Arnold Schoenberg and Wassily
    THE STUDY OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ARNOLD SCHOENBERG AND WASSILY KANDINSKY DURING SCHOENBERG’S EXPRESSIONIST PERIOD D.M.A. DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Sohee Kim, B.M., M.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2010 D.M.A. Document Committee: Professor Donald Harris, Advisor Professor Jan Radzynski Professor Arved Mark Ashby Copyright by Sohee Kim 2010 ABSTRACT Expressionism was a radical form of art at the start of twentieth century, totally different from previous norms of artistic expression. It is related to extremely emotional states of mind such as distress, agony, and anxiety. One of the most characteristic aspects of expressionism is the destruction of artistic boundaries in the arts. The expressionists approach the unified artistic entity with a point of view to influence the human subconscious. At that time, the expressionists were active in many arts. In this context, Wassily Kandinsky had a strong influence on Arnold Schoenberg. Schoenberg‟s attention to expressionism in music is related to personal tragedies such as his marital crisis. Schoenberg solved the issues of extremely emotional content with atonality, and devoted himself to painting works such as „Visions‟ that show his anger and uneasiness. He focused on the expression of psychological depth related to Unconscious. Both Schoenberg and Kandinsky gained their most significant artistic development almost at the same time while struggling to find their own voices, that is, their inner necessity, within an indifferent social environment. Both men were also profound theorists who liked to explore all kinds of possibilities and approached human consciousness to find their visions from the inner world.

  • Art 150: Introduction to the Visual Arts David Mccarthy Rhodes College, Spring 2003 414 Clough, Ext
    Art 150: Introduction to the Visual Arts David McCarthy Rhodes College, Spring 2003 414 Clough, Ext. 3663 417 Clough, MWF 11:30-12:30 Office Hours: MWF 2:00- 4:00, and by appointment. COURSE OBJECTIVES AND DESCRIPTION The objectives of the course are as follows: (1) to provide students with a comprehensive, theoretical introduction to the visual arts; (2) to develop skills of visual analysis; (3) to examine various media used by artists; (4) to introduce students to methods of interpretation; and (5) to develop skills in writing about art. Throughout the course we will keep in mind the following two statements: Pierre Auguste Renoir’s reminder that, “to practice an art, you must begin with the ABCs of that art;” and E.H. Gombrich’s insight that, “the form of representation cannot be divorced from its purpose and the requirements of the society in which the given language gains currency.” Among the themes and issues we will examine are the following: balance, shape and form, space, color, conventions, signs and symbols, representation, reception, and interpretation. To do this we will look at many different types of art produced in several historical epochs and conceived in a variety of media. Whenever possible we will examine original art objects. Art 150 is a foundation course that serves as an introduction for further work in studio art and art history. A three-hour course, Art 150 satisfies the fine arts requirement. Enrollment is limited to first- and second-year students who are not expected to have had any previous experience with either studio or art history.
