Book Description
A thorough examination of the almost symbiotic relationship between modernist architecture and film design of the 1920s and 1930s. Albrecht traces the connections between film designers' art and its roots in European design movements, such as Art Deco and the Bauhaus. The penthouses, nightclubs, and skyscrapers that showed moviegoers a new way of living demanded a new look, which these architectural movements provided. DESIGNING DREAMS concludes with an essential chapter on The Fountainhead, modernist architecture's last fervid gasp in the movies. Illustrated with rare stills from classic films.

How Modernism Became International.......2005-09-08
Modernism and commercial cinema were both born at the turn of the century and came into maturity in the 1920's and 1930's. In his book "Designing Dreams: Modern Architecture in the Movies", Donald Albrech explains how the futuristic theories of modernism were incorporated into movies.
Albrecht begins his book with a quick overview of modernist thought as it was developing in Europe in the years following the First World War. He then moves onto how these radical new ideas were embraced by the French and German film industry of the 1920's. With the rise of facism, many of Europe great modernist artists and architects fled Europe and found a new home in the booming Hollywood film industry.
The section of the that I found most interesting was Albrect's description of modernist styles favored by the different American movie studios. From the Bauhaus modernism of Paramount to the Streamline Modernism of MGM, Hollywood was an enthusiastic and early adopter of modernist tenants. In Depression era United States, modernism was harbinger of a new and better age to come.
This book is filled with numerous photos of stage sets from the 1920's and 1930's. It is a pleasure to see these idealized versions of the modernist credo. By 1931, Philip Johnson could have a museum show in New York and herald the rise of a new "International Style" of architecture. The value of this book is that it shows how cinema was the perfect incubtor and then spreader of modernist architectural thought througout the world. A must have book for all those interested in the birth and spread of modernism.
Great reference on Modernism and the development of 'Futuristic' architecture.......2005-08-18
Albrecht has provided us with an excellent historical overview, upon the development of modernism within architecture, and how movies helped to showcase an art form that symbolized, not only futuristic looks, but optimism through progress.
At first, I was confused by Albrecht's introductory chapters, because they were all spent talking about the development of modernism. However, I started to see the matching patterns between all the chapters, towards the end of the book. In creating a look of modernism, the beginning of the book talks about the number of artists and architects who developed a vision of modernist architecture, as their ideas and designs were always tested against each others at various world fairs and conventions entitled `Progress of the Future.'
What was neat though was that, later on in the book, Albrecht spoke of the filmmakers who would take on futuristic movies, and how they would have to predict what the future of the world would look like by thinking about how society would change, what transportation would be like, what would happen to social classes, etc. Interestingly enough though, Albrecht also speaks of the designers who, while they made present day films, were always trying to predict the future too, by showcasing the latest in women's fashions and newest developments in interior design. Considering that movies, back then, would have to travel the nation rather than be released all at once, producers had the pressure of making a product that could withstand a shelf life of one to two full years.
In turn, what I took away from Albrecht was that, in order to design dreams, we as filmmakers must always think ahead into the future. The movies of the 1930s and beyond were winners because they showcased a wonderful future to its audiences by giving them the latest insights into fashion and interior design. Those filmmakers who created fantasy films were challenged, on the other hand, to show what our cities would truly evolve into. Like the architects who created modernism itself, all designers are responsible for predicting the future, to some extent.
Lastly, I was greatly taken in by the idea of how modernism was created. It seems like its creators wanted to create a look of architecture that would blend in perfectly with paved roads, steel cars, and concrete highways. After all, Victorian and Classical structures simply would not fit in with the modern creations of the Industrial Revolution.
Therefore, those architects challenged themselves to visualize what a future world would look like, and thus, moderism was born. In turn, to me at least, modernism is not about concrete walls and minimalist looks - but rather, it is a constant attempt to accommodate for what humankind will need in the future, rather than to conform it to a style that worked in the past. Albrecht's book communicated that idea to me perfectly.

Thomas Ruff: 1979 to the Present
ASIN: 0714837148 |
Amazon.com
Thomas Schütte is a catalog of works by this contemporary German artist. Schütte studied under Gerhard Richter, Benjamin Buchloh, and Bernd and Hilla Becher at the Düsseldorf Academy in the 1970s. He comes from that strong conceptual background, but as his career matured the emotional content of his work evolved and became much more potent. Schütte's work is incredibly eclectic: ceramic figures, architectural models, drawings, outdoor sculptures, photographs, and installations. A recent work, Big Spirits (1996), is a collection of larger-than-life-size aluminum figures that seem to be morphing before one's eyes. They are at once ghost, human, and machine. Also riveting is The Innocents (1994), a series of photographs of the heads of handmade figurines, and United Enemies, A Play in Ten Scenes (1993)--offset lithographs, also of figurines wrapped in Schütte's clothes. His watercolors are beautiful, ranging from drawings of fruit to portraits of women. Whatever the project, Schütte is tapped in to a particular humanity.
Included in the book are essays by Julian Heynen and Angela Vettese, an interview with James Lingwood, and an essay by Roman philosopher Seneca, chosen by the artist. There is also a story by Schütte--printed in English for the first time. --Jennifer Cohen

Book Description
This beautiful artist's book accompanies the Hayward Gallery travelling exhibition curated by artist and filmmaker Tacita Dean.

ASIN: 0870701096
Release Date: 2002-07-02 |
Book Description
In this book of writings by and about Fassbinder, revealing statements by the artist himself are published in English for the first time. In addition, film historian Thomas Elsaesser and Georgia Brown, film critic for New York City's Village Voice, provide a critical framework that is at once comprehensive and illuminating; and Frankfurt film critic Wolfram Schtte examines Fassbinder's place within postwar German film history. The volume also contains an illustrated filmography and recollections by colleagues and friends, including Fassbinder's editor, Juliane Lorenz, the actresses Hanna Schygulla and Jeanne Moreau, and fellow directors Wim Wenders and Volker Schlondorff.
Book Description
Thomas Schtte has frequently cast himself into the role of a maverick--remained remote from the work of his artistic mentor, distanced himself from the statements of each ephemeral Zeitgeist and increasingly contradicted his own positions--and in so doing has become one of the most influential artists of his generation. Shifting from text to image to object to book, his work juxtaposes biographical moments with contemporary events, oscillates between the aspiration to shape the public reception of architecture and monumental sculpture and the conjunctive of model-maker, and projects avant-garde ideas onto traditional forms of art. With meticulous rigor, Ulrich Loock has observed the evolution of Schtte's output over the past 25 years. Underpinning his lucid overview is a series of intensive discussions between the author and artist on the genesis and history of particular works. This well-designed book is the most comprehensive monograph of the artist's work to date, and provides profound insight into Schtte's work through detailed discussions of the pieces.

Book Description
This third volume of collected theoretical and critical essays focuses on Dia's exhibitions from 1998 through 2000. As in the first two volumes, nine diverse contributors are included, ranging from art historian Jonathan Crary and philosopher Boris Groys to film theoretician Peter Wollen, from curator Russel Fergusson to cultural critic Elaine Showalter. These writers, among others, take on the challenges of illuminating, analyzing, and exploring the work of a disparate group of internationally recognized artists, including Joseph Beuys, Stan Douglas, Douglas Gordon, Rodney Graham, Bruce Nauman, and Andy Warhol. Together, the essays in this book present a broad-based account of contemporary artistic practice, criticism, scholarship, and theory.

Book Description
Medardo Rosso sustained a concept of sculpture related to the idea of the suspended instant and of apparition, which in the last instance denoted immateriality and timelessness. This implied an alliance with surrounding matter and an inevitable tendency towards its dissolution in light energy. This does not mean, however, that he denied sculpture its material entity, on the contrary, he recognised the quality of matter as the crucible for all forms rather than its subordination to a kind of formal solidification of fiction. He therefore championed a kind of sculpture which, having an immaterial bias, was more visual than tactile and with regard to which the observer's point of view was an essential aspect.
The fact that his fame and universality are recognised only in relatively reduced circles is the best evidence of the fact that what began as a kind of conspiracy to silence his unquestionable worth with very immediate objectives in mind has resulted in a grave omission from the history of art, repeated ad nauseam with the utmost triteness.
Gloria Moure, currently director of the Centro Galego de Arte Contemporánea, Santiago de Compostela, offers a comprehensive view of the work of Medardo Rosso. Besides an abundance of visual information, including most of Rosso's own photographs, hitherto unpublished, the book features interesting theoretical contributions from Francisco Calvo Serraller, Luciano Caramel and Gloria Moure herself, accompanied by a manifesto by Boccioni which constitutes an unequivocal statement of the sculptor's worth, echoed in the texts by present-day sculptors such as Giovanni Anselmo, Tony Cragg, Luciano Fabro, Juan Muñoz and Thomas Schütte, alongside a careful selection of articles and letters by the artist which brings us into his way of understanding his art or, which amounts to the same thing, his life.

Rosso Re-examined.......2003-11-07
Sharon Hecker and Harry Cooper provide excellent insight into an extremely important, under-appreciated artist and his technique. Hilton Kramer describes Hecker's treatment of Rosso as the most thoughtful account of Rosso ever written. (see Hilton Kramer, "Sculptor Rosso Coated Work in Wax as Performance Art," New York Observer (August 18, 2003))
There is no question that Rosso made his own waxes and bronzes. Hecker's essay deals mainly with Rosso as the founder of his sculptures. It should also be mentioned that this exhibition does not intend to deceive the viewer by including posthumous casts as some have claimed. Hecker devotes more than two pages of her essay to this issue (pp. 60-62). Rosso authorized the posthumous reproduction of some of his works, and Hecker convincingly shows that these pieces are, in fact, part of "the sculptor's legacy and intention." (p. 62) Including them in the exhibition gives the viewer another dimension of Rosso's work and technique to consider.
Finally, Hecker does not deny that Rosso was interested in the dematerialization of the subject. Her particularly thoughtful treatment of Rosso's interests attempts to reconcile his need to dematerialize his sculpture and his profound interest and attention to the physical material of his sculpture.
The Open Case of Medardo Rosso.......2003-10-26
While this exhibition and publication include some superb examples of casts made by the artist, it is full of casts NOT made by the artist. A very confusing presentation which sets Rosso scholarship back 25 years.
If you want to know Rosso as demonstated by his own hand from the standpoint of connoisseurship, pass this publication by. I can recommend to you the following publications as superior references:
1979 Palazzo Della Permanente, Milan
1984 Frankfurter Kunstverein, Steinernes
1985 Galleria Pieter Coray, Lugano
1988 Kent Fine Art, New York
1994 Whitechapel Art Gallery, London
1996 Santiago de Compostela, Spain
It needs to be stated that Rosso not only made his own waxes (with multiple and changing variations), but he also made his own bronzes in his studio experimenting with process and alchemy. Whatever material, Rosso did not make editions, but rather variations as was the later case with Brancusi. Prior to artists such as Marini, I believe Rosso was the first to never conceal the casting process with chasing and lacquer, but rather leave the firescale and residue as an integral aspect of the "impression" of the piece. Further, most of the works were created to be shown with light from one vantage point as demonstrated by the photography he made during the last 20 years of his life. Rosso was concerned with how to dematerialize the subject. He was concerned with light and environment.
