  • Modernist Sculpture Parks and Their Ideological Contexts— on the Basis of the Oeuvres by Gustav Vigeland, Bernhard Hoetger and Einar Jónsson
    47 (4/2017), pp. 143–169 The Polish Journal DOI: 10.19205/47.17.8 of Aesthetics Małgorzata Stępnik* Modernist Sculpture Parks and Their Ideological Contexts— On the Basis of the Oeuvres by Gustav Vigeland, Bernhard Hoetger and Einar Jónsson Abstract The purpose of this article is to explore the ideological contexts of sculptural works by Northern modernists: Gustav Vigeland (1869–1943) from Norway, Bernhard Hoetger (1874–1949) from Germany, and the Icelander Einar Jónsson (1874–1954). The original iconographies of the Vigelandsanlegget in Oslo, Hoetger’s Platanenhein in Darmstadt, as well as Jónsson’s oeuvres collected in Reykjavik, will be interpreted in relation to wider discourses—i.e. Nietzschean influence, a particular taste for the esoteric (theosophy) and, last but not least, a noticeable aversion to classical form. Keywords early Nordic modernism, sculpture parks Anguish! Anguish! I am o’erwhelmed by heavenly visions and greatness of worlds by the motley whirl of the living. Myriad—voices the All rushes on me, confuses with thick-crowding visions— that I, who should in the midst of the zenith sit like immovable eye, solitary, am whirl’d on myself, like a mote among motes.

  • The Creative Output of Alexej Von Jawlensky (Torzhok, Russia, 1864
    The creative output of Alexej von Jawlensky (Torzhok, Russia, 1864 - Wiesbaden, Germany, 1941) is dened by a simultaneously visual and spiritual quest which took the form of a recurring, almost ritual insistence on a limited number of pictorial motifs. In his memoirs the artist recalled two events which would be crucial for this subsequent evolution. The rst was the impression made on him as a child when he saw an icon of the Virgin’s face reveled to the faithful in an Orthodox church that he attended with his family. The second was his rst visit to an exhibition of paintings in Moscow in 1880: “It was the rst time in my life that I saw paintings and I was touched by grace, like the Apostle Paul at the moment of his conversion. My life was totally transformed by this. Since that day art has been my only passion, my sancta sanctorum, and I have devoted myself to it body and soul.” Following initial studies in art in Saint Petersburg, Jawlensky lived and worked in Germany for most of his life with some periods in Switzerland. His arrival in Munich in 1896 brought him closer contacts with the new, avant-garde trends while his exceptional abilities in the free use of colour allowed him to achieve a unique synthesis of Fauvism and Expressionism in a short space of time. In 1909 Jawlensky, his friend Kandinsky and others co-founded the New Association of Artists in Munich, a group that would decisively inuence the history of modern art. Jawlensky also participated in the activities of Der Blaue Reiter [the Blue Rider], one of the fundamental collectives for the formulation of the Expressionist language and abstraction.

Die Brücke and Der DIE BRÜCKE (“The Bridge” in English) was a German artistic group founded in Blaue Reiter Expressionists offers a unique chance to view the most outstanding works of art of two pivotal art groups of 1905 in Dresden. The artists of Die Brücke abandoned visual impressions and the early 20th century. Through the oeuvre of Ernst Ludwig idyllic subject matter (typical of impressionism), wishing to describe the human Kirchner, Emil Nolde, Wassily Kandinsky, August Macke, Franz Marc, Alexej von Jawlensky and others, the exhibition inner world, full of controversies, fears and hopes.

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.
