{"product_id":"julije-knifer-collages-for-meanders","title":"Julije Knifer: Collages for Meanders","description":"A geometric motif pursued through collage by a celebrated Croatian protagonist of concrete art\n\nCroatian artist Julije Knifer (1924–2004) is recognized as one of the most prominent artists related to concrete art after 1945, as well as a founding member of the 1960s art collective known as the Gorgona Group. Over a career spanning five decades, Knifer developed a singularly restrained practice focusing on the variation of a single visual motif: the meander. Knifer's meanders have been interpreted differently depending on the period in which they appeared: first in the context of geometric abstraction and neo-constructivism of the “New Tendencies” of the 1960s. Today, they are more often understood as a gesture of resistance, with their asceticism and interest in the absurdism of anti-art and the neo avant-garde.\n\nThis book focuses on a group of collages, produced in the late 1950s and early 1960s, that illustrates the development of the meander motif at a pivotal moment in Knifer's career.","brand":"Osmos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54020153082200,"sku":null,"price":69.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780991660865__67ac89f02b436.jpg?v=1741135897","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/julije-knifer-collages-for-meanders","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
