Krátky popis
“Art has poisoned our life”, proclaimed Dutch artist and De Stijl
co-founder Theo van Doesburg. Reacting to the tumultuous crises of
the twentieth century, especially the horrors of the First World
War, avant-garde artists and writers sought to destroy art by
transforming it into the substance of everyday life. Following the
evolution of these revolutionary groups, How to Be Avant-Garde
charts its pioneers and radical ideas.From Paris to New York, from
Zurich to Moscow and Berlin, avant-gardists challenged the confines
of the definition of art along with the confines of the canvas
itself. Art historian Morgan Falconer starts with the dynamic
Futurist founder Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, whose manifesto
extolling speed, destruction and modernity seeded avant-gardes
across Europe. In turn, Dadaists Hugo Ball and Emmy Hennings sought
to replace art with political cabaret and the Surrealists tried to
exchange it for tools to plumb the unconscious.He guides us through
the Russian Constructivists with their adventures in advertising
and utopianism and then De Stijl with the geometric abstractions of
Piet Mondrian. The Bauhaus broke more boundaries, transmuting art
into architecture and design. Finally, the Situationists swapped
art for politics, with many of their ideas inspiring the 1968 Paris
student protests.How to Be Avant-Garde is a journey through the
interlocking networks of these richly creative lives with their
visions of a better world, their sometimes sympathetic but often
strange and turbulent conversations and their objects and writings
that defied categorisation.
