<p>Ur-Surrealist Yves Tanguy belonged to the inner circle of the 1920s Parisian avant-garde, alongside such figures as Salvador Dal', Max Ernst, and Alberto Giacometti, making essential contributions to Surrealist manifestoes, magazines, and exhibitions. Tanguy's artistic obsession was the world of imagination, of dreams and reveries, and his cryptically codified imagery continues to perplex audiences today. His paintings seem to exist in a hazy, oddly beautiful limbo dimension beyond time and space, a world at once vertiginous and calm, disturbing and breathtaking. The central focus of Yves Tanguy and Surrealism is the Surrealist mode, to which Tanguy dedicated himself like no other painter of his time, cementing the movement's place in the history of visual art. On the basis of previously unpublished documents and works, authors discuss Tanguy's otherworldly oeuvre in all its aspects--from his development as an artist to the reception of his work in the United States. With stunning reproductions in full color as well as black and white, Yves Tanguy and Surrealism is an extensive overview of the work of an artist whose forays into the creative unknown continue to resonate.</p>

Konrad Klapheck - Portraitzeichnungen

Schirmer/Mosel Verlag Gmbh

<p>This long-overdue first English-language monograph brings together an astonishing group of paintings that span the course of German painter Konrad Klapheck's six-decade-long career--from his painterly investigations of technological machines and everyday objects such as typewriters, sewing machines and ventilators to his more recent figurative work. Klapheck's early paintings employ subtle anthropomorphization and are charged with psychological, social and political meaning. A telephone, for example, takes on a playful, eroticized quality in one canvas, while a typewriter becomes a menacing object evocative of brute power in another. An artist's artist, Klapheck has never painted according to fashions dictated by the art world; he is a painter guided by his own obsessions. However, in their surprising combination of deadpan depiction and evocative playfulness, Klapheck's canvases forge an important link in twentieth-century art, melding elements from Surrealism and Pop art with a singular painterly sensibility.</p>
