Street Life
Die Straße in der Kunst von Kirchner bis Streuli - The Street in Art from Kirchner to Streuli
The significance of the street is complex: it is a place of representation, self-dramatisation and communication, of resistance and protest. In this lavishly illustrated volume we encounter the bandwidth of this highly topical subject and its implementation in painting, graphics, photography, film, performance and installation during the 20th and 21st centuries.
description
Following industrialisation and urbanisation, in around 1900 the street moved into focus as an elemental part of life. In the works of the Futurists and Expressionists it advanced to become a symbol for progress and mobility, for modern life in general. Since then the topos has permeated art: as a psychogram of society, an expression of collective and individual longings and fears, within the context of happenings or graffiti and with recent new definitions within the framework of ecology, participation and democratic movements.
