Abstract

Through the centuries, women have used textiles to express their ideas and political opinions, creating items of utility that also function as works of art. Beginning with medieval European embroideries and tapestries such as the Bayeux Tapestry, this book includes works from the United States, Canada, Latin America, Asia, the Middle and Near East, and Central Asia. It examines the ways in which women around the world have recorded the impact of war on their lives using traditional fabric art forms of knitting, sewing, quilting, embroidery, weaving, basketry and rug making.

Abstract

Much of how World War I is understood today is rooted in the artistic depictions of the brutal violence and considerable destruction that marked the conflict. Nothing but the Clouds Unchanged examines how the physical and psychological devastation of the war altered the course of twentieth-century artistic Modernism. Following the lives and works of fourteen artists before, during, and after the war, this book demonstrates how the conflict and the resulting trauma actively shaped artistic production. Featured art - ists include Georges Braque, Carlo Carrà, Otto Dix, Max Ernst, George Grosz, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Oskar Kokoschka, Käthe Kollwitz, Fernand Léger, Wyndham Lewis, André Masson, László Moholy-Nagy, Paul Nash, and Oskar Schlemmer. Materials from the Getty Research Institute's special collections - including letters, popular journals, posters, sketches, propaganda, books, and photographs - situate the works of the artists within the historical context, both personal and cultural, in which they were created. The volume accompanies a related exhibition on view at the Getty Research Institute Gallery from November 25, 2014, to April 19, 2015

Abstract

Presentations of war and violence in museums generally oscillate between the fascination of terror and its instruments and the didactic urge to explain violence and, by analysing it, make it easier to handle and prevent. The museums concerned also have to face up to these basic issues about the social and institutional handling of war and violence. Does war really belong in museums? And if it does, what objectives and means are involved? Can museums avoid trivializing and aestheticising war, transforming violence, injury, death and trauma into tourist sights? What images of shock or identification does one generate - and what images would be desirable? »Ein instruktiver Band.« Christian Demand, Merkur, 68/7 (2014) Reviewed in: H-Soz-u-Kult, 10.10.2013, Christian Hirte Mitteilungen, 46/2 (2013)

Abstract

A travers plus de 550 oeuvres, ce livre d'art et d'histoire montre comment les artistes ont contribué au désenchantement de la guerre, des campagnes napoléoniennes aux conflits les plus contemporains. Alors que l'art était depuis toujours dominé par la bataille héroïque, les artistes représentent désormais la guerre sous toutes ses faces, y compris dans ses conséquences les plus atroces sur les humains, les animaux, la nature, les villes, les choses. Témoins ou non, hantés par les traces à fournir de ces orages humains, ils modifient en permanence leur technique et leur politique de représentation afin de rendre visible le chaos engendré.
