Abstract

Saul Leiter has only in recent years finally received his due as one of the great pioneers of color photography. This can perhaps be attributed to the fact that Leiter saw himself for a long time mainly as a painter. After coming to New York in 1946, he exhibited alongside Abstract Expressionists like Willem de Kooning before beginning in the late 1940s to take black and white photographs. Like Robert Frank or Helen Levitt, he found his motifs on the streets of New York, but at the same time was visibly interested in abstraction. Edward Steichen was one of the first to discover Leiter’s photography, showing it in the 1950s in two important exhibitions at New York’s MoMA. Back then color photography was regarded as »low art,« fit only for advertising. Leiter accordingly worked primarily as a fashion photographer, for magazines such as Esquire and Harper’s Bazaar. Nearly 40 years would go by before his extraordinary artistic color photography was rediscovered. This book, published to mark the first major retrospective of Leiter’s work anywhere in the world, features for the first time, in addition to his early black and white and color images, his fashion photography, the overpainted nudes, as well as his paintings and sketchbooks.

Abstract

Bruno Munari (1907-1998) played a pioneering role in the evolution of twentieth-century art and design, his work exerting an influence that stretched far beyond the borders of Italy. Munari described the roots of his work as his ‘Futurist past’, but his influences were extremely varied, also reflecting the aesthetics and sensibilities of Constructivism, Dada and Surrealism. This exhibition will reveal the richness of Munari’s artistic research between 1927 and 1950, spanning the artist’s Futurist phase and early investigation of the possibilities of kinetic sculpture, the immediate post-war years during which he became a leading figure of abstract painting and his subsequent experiments with projected light and installation-based work. Curated by Miroslava Hájek in collaboration with Luca Zaffarano and the Massimo & Sonia Cirulli Archive, this exhibition will reveal the full richness of Munari’s playful, irreverent and endlessly creative career. The accompanying catalogue includes scholarly texts by Pierpaolo Antonello (University of Cambridge) and Jeffrey Schnapp (Harvard University) as well as a text by Alberto Munari (University of Padua).

Abstract

Victor Servranckx (1897-1965) staat algemeen bekend als een van de eerste abstracte schilders en beeldhouwers in Belgie. In de catalogus Victor Servranckx. De jaren twintig focust Mu.ZEE op het decennium waarin de jonge kunstenaar de overstap van de figuratie naar de abstractie maakte. Aan de hand van tientallen kunstwerken en archiefdocumenten volgen we het parcours dat hij in deze periode aflegde via stijlbewegingen als het futurisme, het purisme, de geometrische abstractie en het surrealisme. Net als in de tentoonstelling ligt in dit begeleidende boek de klemtoon niet alleen op zijn schilderijen en sculpturen. Voor het eerst presenteren we Servranckx' beeldende werk in combinatie met zijn architectuur- en designontwerpen - een zo goed als onbekend, maar belangrijk aspect van zijn oeuvre. De tentoonstelling en de catalogus brengen samen hulde aan Victor Servranckx, een pionier van de Belgische avant-garde, die zich met een schijnbaar gemak meester maakte van verschillende kunstdisciplines.
