    4527_BlauerReiter_180211_ENG_rl.indd I 06.07.11 09:16 INVITATION It is often difÞ cult for art-lovers seeking an introduction to a subject to Þ nd the right approach amid the bewildering array of literature available. Read on; you’ll not be bored! The aim of this book is to provide an entertaining but well-found- ed introduction to the world of the artists’ group the Blue Rider, which ß ourished in German in the early years of the twentieth century. The Þ rst seven chapters lead readers through the exciting period from 1908 until the First World War and let them witness the birth of the group. The views of the artists are described as well as their often complicated personal relationships with each other. The most important works are introduced and their signiÞ cance examined. In the last chapter there is, literally, much to discover, including the places in Bavaria where the members of the Blue Rider left their traces. The museums where you can admire the works of Kandinsky & Co. will be described, as will, as far as is possible today, the locations where it all happened. Where did the artists live; where were their studios; and where was the famous salon of Marianne von Werefkin, in which the artists drank, smoked and spent long nights in animated discussion? My sincere thanks go to the great authority on the Blue Rider, Dr. Annegret Hoberg of the Lenbachhaus in Munich, who encour- aged me to embark on this project and to whom I am grateful for important advice.

In 1896, after academic studies and initial career in law and social sciences, Kandinsky turned down an offer of professorship in jurisprudence, and together with his first wife Anja Shemiakina, left Russia for Munich with the intention of becoming a painter.

  • Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum Teacher Resource Unit
    Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum Teacher Resource Unit A NOTE TO TEACHERS Following the chaos of World War I (1914–1918), many European artists moved toward more representational approaches and away from the fragmented compositions and emphasis on experimentation that had dominated the opening years of the 20th century. For nearly two decades after the armistice, art’s return to order and enduring values dominated the discourse of modern art. Chaos and Classicism: Art in France, Italy, and Germany, 1918–1936 traces this interwar trend as it worked its way from a poetic, mythic idea in the Parisian avant-garde; to a political, historical idea of a revived Roman Empire, under Benito Mussolini (1883–1945); to a neo-Platonic High Modernism at the Bauhaus, and then, to the chilling aesthetic of nascent Nazi culture. This Resource Unit parallels the exhibition’s themes, follows this vast transformation of modern art, and provides techniques for exploring both the visual arts and other curriculum areas. This guide is also available on the museum’s Web site at guggenheim.org/artscurriculum with images that can be downloaded or projected for classroom use. The images may be used for education purposes only and are not licensed for commercial applications of any kind.

EXHIBITION OVERVIEW Chaos and Classicism: Art in France, Italy, and Germany, 1918–1936 October 1, 2010–January 9, 2011 After the horrific destruction of World War I, a powerful desire for regeneration, order, and classical beauty emerged in Europe, lasting until World War II.

    11.10.2018 PRESS RELEASE Page 1 / 2 The exhibition PAINTER. MENTOR. MAGICIAN. is the first to spotlight the enormous influence of the former Brücke artist and expressionist Otto Mueller (1874–1930): for over ten years the artist was engaged as a teacher at the State Academy of Arts and Crafts in Wrocław, which at that time was one of the most progressive schools of art in Europe. Particu- larly from the 1920s onwards, the Wrocław Academy had a reputation for cosmopolitanism and liberality, thanks to the numerous new appoint- ments made by the director at that time, Oskar Moll. This was a place where the many-faceted movements in modern art stood side by side as equals: Expressionism with Otto Mueller, French Peinture of the Acadé- mie Matisse with Oskar Moll, New Objectivity (Neue Sachlichkeit) with Alexander Kanoldt and Carlo Mense and Bauhaus with Oskar Schlemmer, Georg Muche or Johannes Molzahn. The main focus of the exhibition is on modernist painting: Otto Mueller and his network experienced a creative phase in Wrocław which they de- PRESS CONTACT scribed as highly productive and a direct result of their exchanges and EXHIBITION reciprocal influence.

  • Neue Sachlichkeit Neue Sachlichkeit (Or the New Objectivity) Was an Artistic Attitude That Arose in Germany in the 1920S in Reac
    Neue Sachlichkeit Neue Sachlichkeit (or The New Objectivity) was an artistic attitude that arose in Germany in the 1920s in reaction to Expressionism. Figure 1: The Eclipse of the Sun by George Grosz, 1926 George Grosz exemplified the verist style of New Objectivity. Neue Sachlichkeit meant to imply a turn towards practical engagement with the world – an all-business attitude, understood by Germans as intrinsically American. Leading up to World War I, much of the art world was under the influence of Futurism and Expressionism, both of which abandoned any sense of order or commitment to objectivity or tradition. Neue Sachlichkeit was a reaction against this. The New Objectivity comprised two tendencies, characterized in terms of a left and right wing: on the left were the verists (exemplified by George Grosz and Max Beckmann) and on the right the classicists (e.g., Georg Schrimpf). Note: New Objectivity (in German: Neue Sachlichkeit) is an artistic style that arose in Germany in the 1920s as a challenge to Expressionism. New Objectivity reflected an unsentimental reality instead of the more inward-looking, abstract or psychological, that were characteristic of Expressionism. Verists: the artistic preference of contemporary everyday subject matter instead of the heroic or legendary in art and literature; a form of realism. The word comes from Latin verus (true). Max Beckmann (1884 – 1950): a German painter, draftsman, printmaker, sculptor, and writer. Although he is classified as an Expressionist artist, he rejected both the term and the movement. In the 1920s, he was associated with the New Objectivity (Neue Sachlichkeit), an outgrowth of Expressionism that opposed its introverted emotionalism.
