Beauty, terror, grandeur, awe – the mountain world has always fascinated people. Stephan Huber climbs the snow-covered summits in miniature. In his sculptures he imitates the relief of the mountains and creates object-like works with a theatrical flair. This comprehensive volume reproduces the Alpine cosmos in the powerful images which have been the focus of Huber’s work for more than four decades.

Cover for Chagall

Chagall

Verden i opprør Norwegian edition
Marc Chagall (1887–1985) is regarded as the poet amongst modernist artists. His works from the 1930s and 1940s are less well known. In them, his bright  colour palette became darker. Even in the early 1930s, Chagall addressed the increasingly aggressive anti-Semitism and touched in his artistic works on central themes such as identity, homeland and exile.

Cover for Der Mucha
Ed. Susanne Gaensheimer et al.

Reinhard Mucha

An Initial Suspicion
… For me, things only become interesting when they contain some mysterious corner somewhere which continues to elude us. And so I am really rather sorry that Mucha was not included, because he is formally incredibly good and is nonetheless twice or three times as unfathomable. Harald Szeemann, “Zeitinvestition zu knapp”, in: Kunstforum International, vol. 90 (documenta 8: Kunst auf dem Prüfstand), July–September 1987

Cover for Agnes Pelton
Gilbert Vicario

Agnes Pelton

The Great Masters of Art
The spiritually inspired pictures of Agnes Pelton (1881–1961) have their roots in the desert of California, a place where the artist settled in 1932 and where she lived until her death. She wrote of her highly symbolic paintings that her pictures were “like little windows”, which opened up a view into the interior, her “message of light to the world”.

Gustav Klimt

The Great Masters of Art
Gustav Klimt is the one artist whose name we associate in particular with Viennese Jugendstil and the “Golden Age”. As a sought-after painter of frescoes and the founding president of the Vienna Secession, the portraitist of fashionable ladies and an illustrator of unashamed eroticism, Klimt was both the enfant terrible and the darling of Viennese society.
