A journey to the art capital of the 1930s: Paris. The avant-garde group abstraction-création and its fifty or so members were an inspiration to the art world with their clear lines and kaleidoscopic experiments with form. Leading figures of abstraction joined together to support artistic freedom and oppose the rise of fascism, before modernism shifted its gravitational centre to New York.
Sophie Taeuber-Arp’s distinctly concrete forms and Hans Arp’s organic abstractions, Theo van Doesburg’s compositions of line grids and Jean Gorin’s social utopias transformed into abstract forms – the entire cosmos of non-representational art found a home in the cosmopolitan group abstraction création. This visually superlative volume combines highlights of abstract art with carefully integrated contemporary perspectives, offering an introduction to the group, impressions of Paris in the 1930s and a visual treasure trove.
Contemporary Artists: Rana Begum, Angela Bulloch, Daniel Buren, Imi Knoebel, Timo Nasseri, Kai Schiemenz, Beat Zoderer.
Artists: Hans (Jean) Arp, Willi Baumeister, Alexander Calder, Robert Delaunay, Theo Van Doesburg, Otto Freundlich, Naum Gabo, Albert Gleizes, Jean Gorin, Jean Hélion, Barbara Hepworth, Auguste Herbin, Mainie Jellett, Laszlo Moholynagy, Piet Mondrian, Marlow Moss, Wladyslaw Strzeminski, Sophie Taeuber-Arp, Georges Vantongerloo, Friedrich Vordemberge-Gildewart, Et Al.
