Hans Richter: Activism, Modernism, and the Avant-Garde Summary:By Stephen C. Foster
"The articles in Stephen Foster's skillfully edited anthology put Hans Richter into the context of political and social events which formed the crucible of his work. A valuable work--not just for the study of Richter, but as a model of current scholarship." -- Johanna Drucker, Department of Art History, Yale University Few artists spanned the movements of early twentieth-century art as completely as did Hans Richter. Richter was a major force in the developments of expressionism, Dada, De Stijl, constructivism, and Surrealism, and the creator, with Viking Eggeling, of the abstract cinema. Along with Theo van Doesburg, László Moholy-Nagy, El Lissitzky, and a few others, he is one of the artists crucial to an understanding of the role of the arts in the reconstruction era following World War I. Most American scholars have focused on Richter's film work and have favored a strictly formalist approach that separates art and politics. The contributors to this book rewrite Richter's history to include his pivotal role in the development of the early twentieth- century avant-garde and his political activism. When Richter's work, particularly that of his earlier, European career, is viewed in its historical and political context, he emerges as an artist committed to the power of art to change the fabric of social, political, and cultural affairs. Summary: Marvelous Rating: 5 Long over due. Stephen Foster is one of the great intellectual minds of our time... Please select one mirror to download
