Etel Adnan’s creative output spanned genres and languages. An award-winning poet and novelist, her paintings and artist books began appearing in museum shows when she was already in her eighties. This exhibition catalog corresponds with the first comprehensive retrospective of Adnan’s work to be held in Germany, a collaboration between the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen in Düsseldorf and the Lenbachhaus in Munich. The volume presents work from across Adnan’s long and multifaceted career, reflecting a lifetime of exchange between the Arab and the Western worlds.Adnan (1925–2021) spent her life between Lebanon, where she was born and later worked as the cultural editor for two daily newspapers; France, where she attended the Sorbonne before returning in 1975; and the United States, where she attended graduate school, began painting at the age of thirty-four, and ultimately moved in the late 1970s, settling in California. Etel Adnan explores her impressive body of work: her texts; her bright, abstract paintings; her tapestries, modernist interpretations of Persian rugs; and her leporellos, booklets created with a concertina fold that draw on Adnan’s relationship to calligraphy and literature. Touching on the relationship between the artist’s work and her biography, this book is a tribute to a cosmopolitan figure for whom painting represented the love of the world.

"This dynamic new appraisal of the painter Gabriele Münter looks beyond her association with Wassily Kandinsky and completely reevaluates her art on the anniversary of her 140th birthday. Gabriele Münter was a photographer before she was a painter, taking her first photos around 1900 during her stay in the United States. She started painting soon after and never stopped— working on her art almost every day for the rest of her life. She was an open-minded artist who embraced experimentation, but because her oeuvre has generally been studied through the narrow lens of her relationship with Kandinsky many of her accomplishments have lingered in obscurity. Münter’s paintings from the "Blue Rider" years and her association with German Expressionism have often been the focus for evaluations of her work, yet Münter’s art was far more multifaceted, imaginative, and stylistically diverse. This book seeks to offer a broader perspective on Münter’s creative output. It examines Münter’s oeuvre in all its richness: from classic genres such as portraits and landscapes to interiors, abstractions, and her works of "primitivism.""--Résumé de l'éditeur.
