| Zusammenfassung: | "Paul Klee experienced his 1914 trip to Tunisia as a major breakthrough for his art: 'Color and I are one,' he famously wrote. 'I am a painter.' 'Kandinsky and Klee in Tunisia' sets the scene for Klee's breakthrough with a close study of the parallel voyage undertaken in 1904-5 by Wassily Kandinsky and Gabriele Münter, who would later become Klee's friends. This artist couple, then at an early stage in their celebrated careers, produced a rich body of painting and photography known only to specialists. Paul Klee's 1914 trip with August Macke and Louis Moilliet, in contrast, is a vaunted convergence of Cubism and the exotic. Roger Benjamin refigures these two seminal voyages in terms of colonial culture and politics, the fabric of ancient Tunisian cities, visual ethnography, and the tourist photograph. The book looks closely at the cities of Tunis, Sousse, Hammamet, and Kairouan to flesh out a profound confrontation between European high modernism and the wealth of Islamic lifeways and architecture. Kandinsky and Klee in Tunisia offers a new understanding of how the European avant-garde was formed in dialogue with cultural difference"--Provided by publisher |

'I am a painter.' 'Kandinsky and Klee in Tunisia' sets the scene for Klee's breakthrough with a close study of the parallel voyage undertaken in 1904-5 by Wassily Kandinsky and Gabriele Münter, who would later become Klee's friends. This artist couple, then at an early stage in their celebrated careers, produced a rich body of painting and photography known only to specialists. Paul Klee's 1914 trip with August Macke and Louis Moilliet, in contrast, is a vaunted convergence of Cubism and the exotic. Roger Benjamin refigures these two seminal voyages in terms of colonial culture and politics, the fabric of ancient Tunisian cities, visual ethnography, and the tourist photograph. The book looks closely at the cities of Tunis, Sousse, Hammamet, and Kairouan to flesh out a profound confrontation between European high modernism and the wealth of Islamic lifeways and architecture. Kandinsky and Klee in Tunisia offers a new understanding of how the European avant-garde was formed in dialogue with cultural difference"--Provided by publisher Kandinsky, Wassily / 1866-1944 / Travel / Tunisia Klee, Paul / 1879-1940 / Travel / Tunisia Kandinsky, Wassily / 1866-1944 fast Klee, Paul / 1879-1940 fast Münter, Gabriele 1877-1962 (DE-588)118585525 gnd rswk-swf Klee, Paul 1879-1940 (DE-588)118562827 gnd rswk-swf Kandinsky, Wassily 1866-1944 (DE-588)118559737 gnd rswk-swf Macke, August 1887-1914 (DE-588)118575864 gnd rswk-swf Moilliet, Louis 1880-1962 (DE-588)118583247 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1900-2000 Geschichte 1904-1914 gnd rswk-swf Modernism (Art) / Europe / African influences Art, Modern / 20th century Art, Modern fast Modernism (Art) / African influences fast Travel fast Reise (DE-588)4049275-8 gnd rswk-swf Tunisia / In art Europe fast Tunisia fast Europa Tunesien (DE-588)4061206-5 gnd rswk-swf Kandinsky, Wassily 1866-1944 (DE-588)118559737 p Münter, Gabriele 1877-1962 (DE-588)118585525 p Klee, Paul 1879-1940 (DE-588)118562827 p Macke, August 1887-1914 (DE-588)118575864 p Moilliet, Louis 1880-1962 (DE-588)118583247 p Tunesien (DE-588)4061206-5 g Reise (DE-588)4049275-8 s Geschichte 1904-1914 z DE-604 Ashjian, Cristina Maria Sonstige (DE-588)188387099 oth HBZ Datenaustausch application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=028314748&sequence=000002&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
