Man Ray: The rigour of imagination

Thames and Hudson

This remarkable and groundbreaking study explores the author's view that there is a close correspondence between the basic tenets of alchemy and those of Jewish esoteric tradition, generally known as Kabbalah. The author, Arturo Schwarz, points out that both alchemy and Kabbalah are frequently distorted in popular as well as scholarly literature. The real concern of alchemy is not to transmute lead into gold, but rather, through the investigation of the self, to evolve from the state of ignorance (symbolized by lead) to that of awareness (symbolized by gold). As Schwarz points out, "this drive toward self-awareness is also basic in the teachings of the major kabbalists." Schwarz goes on to explain that in both systems "one of the major instruments of understanding our inner self is love, both physical and spiritual." Through a careful analysis of the use of sexual imagery in both systems, Schwarz builds his fascinating and eye-opening thesis that alchemy and kabbalistic tradition share profound similarities.

"To be a painter for the sake of being a painter was never the ultimate aim of my life. That's why I tried to go into different forms of activity -- purely optical things and kineticism". When Gabrielle Buffet discovered Duchamp's Rotoreliefs, she emphasized this point further: "Duchamp's aim was to primarily to modify all plastic matter, to reject once and for all from his working arsenal all the traditional tools and equipment (tubes of paint, canvas, and brushes); to obtain the effect by mechanical means instead of through the expression of personal dynamism inherent in a particular individuality; to substitute technical value for expressive value".

History & Criticism

With a palette that uses only elementary colors, and a subject matter sketched out in the barest terms, the work of Enzo Cucchi displays a primitive quality sometimes mistaken as naive. This volume, which documents both recent and now historical works, introduces to us his world--a place populated by eyes, legs and feet, wolves and books, envelopes, letters and desert scrolls.

Charta

Konrad Klapheck (Düsseldorf 1935) is an outstanding figure of German contemporary art. He started to work in the mid-Fifties and has exhibited in important museums worldwide. Klapheck makes poetry out of everyday objects often portraying machinery, tools and mechanical components with sober precision, transforming them into enigmatic and monumental icons of the present day which relate both to Surrealism and Pop Art. 
This monograph includes an introductory essay by Arturo Schwarz—the recognized authority on Klapheck’s work—and explores the artist’s career from the outset to the present day, through the reproduction of over 140 works. Among them, a series of works never seen before, dedicated to the human figure: a rarity that will be of interest to critics, collectors, and art lovers. The book also includes some writings by the artist himself, by André Breton and by Werner Schmalenbach, and a complete bio-bibliography.
