Abstract art. Ediz. inglese Elger Dietmar   -  Taschen, 2022  -  Basic Art

Abstraction shook Western art to its core. In the early part of the 20th century, it refuted the reign of clear, indisputable forms and confronted audiences instead withvivid visual poems devoid of conventional representational imagery and characterized by allegories ofemotion and sensation . This radical artistic adventure established new artistic means, as much as narratives. Expression became characterized byshocking juxtapositions of color, light, and line.Artists abandoned the conventions of brush and easel and played withnew materials and methods of artistic gesture: commercial paints and housepainter's brushes, working on unstretched and unprimed canvases, moving the canvas to the floor, and applying paint with hands. This essential introduction spans the international breadth, conceptual depth, and seismic impact of abstract art with a thorough survey not only of the big names such as Picasso, Klee, Kline, Rothko, and Pollock, but also lesser-known figures who made equally significant contributions, including Antoni Tàpies, K. O. Götz, Ad Reinhardt, and Sophie Taeuber-Arp.

Arte astratta. Ediz. italiana Elger Dietmar   -  Taschen, 2008  -  Kleine Genre

L'arte astratta affondale sue radici nel Cubismo e nel Futurismo e sviluppa tutte le forme di espressione non figurativa. Questo volume analizza la produzione dei diversi artisti dei primi anni del ventesimo secolo, a cominciare da Kandinsky, attraverso gli anni sessanta per capire come usassero le forme astratte per esprimere le loro idee artistiche, vedi per esempio le macchi di colore di Jackson Pollock, le forme geometriche di Piet Mondrian, i quadrati di Malevich e le complesse composizioni di Wassily Kandinsky.
