Einband leicht berieben. - Preface -- Observing the World: Paths to Abstraction 1910-14 -- Looking Inwards: Investigations 1912-20 -- Social Ideals: Constructing the Future 1920-39 -- Abstractions in Europe: 1939-56 -- Focus on Expression: USA 1939-56 -- Objective Approaches: Abstract art since 1956 -- Afterword -- BIBLIOGRAPHY -- Since the early years of this century, Western abstract art has fascinated, outraged and bewildered. Even today, the meaning and significance of abstract forms can still seem elusive or impenetrable. Anna Moszynska shows how abstract art originated and evolved, placing it in its broad historical and cultural context. She traces the paths to abstraction forged by artists such as Balla, Kupka and Delaunay, and examines the pioneering work of Kandinsky, Malevich and Mondrian in exploring art's spiritual dimension. Abstract Art also discusses the Russian Constructivists, the De Stijl group and the Bauhaus artists, and contrasts the geometric tendencies of the 1930s and 1940s with the post-War emphasis on personal expression that culminated in Abstract Expressionism in the United States. Finally, Anna Moszynska considers the work of 'Post-Painterly', Op, Kinetic and Minimal artists and examines the revived abstraction practised by Neo-Geo and other artists of the 1980s.

Ursprung, Philip/Althaus, Julia/Kugler, Walter: Rudolf Steiner - Alchemy of the Everyday, VITRA DESIGN MUSEUM, 080 ISBN: 3931936864
Rudolf Steiner was one of the most significant reform figures of the twentieth century. He founded the Waldorf school movement, gave vital impulses to alternative agriculture and medicine, and also left behind a comprehensive oeuvre as an architect, designer and artist. Steiner's most important work of architecture, the Goetheanum (1924-1928) in Dornach, Switzerland, is a key work of early modern architecture-never before had concrete been utilized in such a sculptural way on such a large scale. As an artist, Steiner influenced many people, including Piet Mondrian, Wassily Kandinsky and Joseph Beuys. Even today, prominent artists such as Olafur Eliasson and Tony Cragg draw inspiration from his work.The book Rudolf Steiner - Alchemy of the Everyday provides the first comprehensive overview of Steiner's creative work, while also examining his historic roots and his ongoing influence. Several essays by respected authors approach the phenomenon of Steiner from a variety of perspectives, examining topics such as the period in which his work evolved, the way that Steiner combined natural and spiritual science, his work in architecture, design and stage performance, and his influence on tendencies in present-day art. The essays are supplemented by an extensive catalogue section which presents Steiner's major works and compares them to those of important contemporaries and current artists. An illustrated biography completes the book, which represents the first effort to introduce an important figure of the twentieth century to a wide public.
