Abstract

The brainchild of Koloman Moser, Alfred Roller, Josef Hoffmann, Bertold Loffler and others?the leading graphic artists of the Vienna Secession and the Wiener Werkstätte?Die Fläche (German for The Surface) laid out an extraordinary group vision for design through adventurous work by these designer-professors and more than 100 of their students. Packed with bold ideas for posters, advertisements, book covers, woodcut prints and much more, the result is an inexhaustibly rich sourcebook of graphic forms, modern ideas and technical experiments, all reflecting a reorientation in design practice and teaching that would resonate around the world.This full-size facsimile of all 14 issues of Die Fläche lets readers experience this rare gem as it was meant to be seen, while new essays and translations explore its significance.Die Fläche is the first volume in Letterform Archive?s facsimile series, which presents landmarks of print and design history with exacting reproductions and new essays that provide rich context and fresh insights.Bron : https://www.copyrightbookshop.be/en/shop/die-flache-design-and-lettering-of-the-vienna-secesssion-1902-1911/

Abstract

De Weense architect en ?allround designer? Josef Hoffmann (1870?1956) is zoveel meer dan de oprichter van de Wiener Werkstätte. Dit boek biedt een brede blik op zijn oeuvre dat zich ontwikkelde over maar liefst zestig jaar. De tijdloze schoonheid van Hoffmanns creaties toont niet enkel zijn belang als historische figuur, maar ook als bron van inspiratie voor meerdere generaties.Rijkelijk geïllustreerd met meubelstukken, voorwerpen, ontwerpen, textielstukken, foto?s, tekeningen en documenten. Speciale aandacht gaat naar zijn creatieve werkwijze en zijn miskend kleurgebruik.Deze monografie verschijnt naar aanleiding van de tentoonstelling Josef Hoffmann ? In de ban van schoonheid, die van 6 oktober 2023 tot 14 april 2024 plaatsvindt in het Brusselse Museum Kunst & Geschiedenis. Het project kwam tot stand in samenwerking met het Museum für angewandte Kunst (MAK) in Wenen en is een van de blikvangers in het Art Nouveau Jaar 2023 in Brussel.

Abstract

At the turn of the 20th century, amid the domed grandeur of Vienna, a group of Secession artists reclaimed the humble woodblock. The gesture, though short-lived, and long overlooked by established art histories, may be seen as a decisive social, as well as aesthetic, moment. Elevating a primarily illustrative, mass-production medium to the status of fine art, the woodblock revival set a formal precedent for Expressionism while democratizing an art for all. Coinciding with the travelling exhibition through the Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt and Albertina, Vienna, this Taschen edition brings together leading examples of the Viennese woodblock renaissance to give a long overdue exploration of its achievements and influence. Through prints, publications, calendars and pages from Ver Sacrum, the official magazine of the Vienna Secession, it gathers works remarkable for their graphic and chromatic intensity, and vital with the traces of japonisme as much as the stylistic seeds of Die Brucke, Der Blaue Reiter and later Expressionist movements. Through figure studies, landscapes, patterns, and typographical treasures, the featured works are accompanied by detailed captions, as well as essays exploring their aesthetic and ideological implications, and biographies for the more than 40 artists. Examining their stark contours, stylization of the surface per se, and tendency towards contained color areas we evaluate the Viennese woodblocks as essential harbingers, and benchmarks, of the 20th century modernism to come. At the same time, we assess how the dissemination of the woodblock substantiated the Seccessionist claim for a democratized, all-encompassing art, while adding to their reappraisal of originality, and authenticity, and convention.
