& Enjoy eBooks - Free eBook library Famous for his elongated forms, graceful portraits, and lush nudes, Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) is among the most loved of the extraordinary group of international artists who lived in Montparnasse in the early 20th century. Accompanying the first major Modigliani exhibition in the U.S. in over 40 years, the book moves beyond the romantic myths that have sprung up around the artist's tragically brief life to provide a fuller, richer understanding of his art, as well as the role of Montparnasse in the development of modern art.
In addition to 64 paintings, sculptures, and drawings by Modigliani, the book features works by other Montparnasse artists such as Brancusi, de Chirico, Soutine, and Picasso. A special highlight is the inclusion of excerpts from a recently discovered, never-before-published novelette written by one of Modigliani's lovers about their experiences together. This striking volume provides a serious examination of Modigliani's work with extensive new documentation.

Download Cubism Online Book PDF

Cubism, perhaps the seminal movement for the arts of the twentieth century, was also one of the most complex. David Cottington describes how the artistic avant-garde, and Cubism within it, were formed by that turbulent and complex moment before the outbreak of the war in 1914. Analyzing paintings by Picasso, Braque, Robert and Sonia Delaunay and their associates, he traces their exploration of the convention of pictorial representation in the interest both of reflection on the experience of modernity, and of critical resistance to its seductions.

In six chapters -- The Brucke Group of Artists, Northern German Expressionism, The Blaue Reiter, Rhenish Expressionism, The City and Expressionism in Vienna -- this publication deals with a specifically German artistic revolution, a phenomenon that has quite accurately been described as "the most significant German contribution to 20th century European art." Beside a number of famous names, including Beckmann, Heckel, Kandinsky, Kirchner, Kokoschka, Macke, Marc, Mueller, Nolde, Schiele, and Schmidt-Rottluff, the author also introduces several lesser-known artists, such as Campendonk, FelixMuller, Meidner, Morgner, Munter, and von Werefkin.
