Kurzbeschreibung
3x an Abstraction presents the extraordinary work of three important women artists whose innovative ideas and approaches to drawing had a significant impact on the history of modern abstraction. Hilma af Klint (Sweden, 1862-1944), Emma Kunz (Switzerland, 1892-1963) and Agnes Martin (Canada, b. 1912; U.S. citizenship 1950) approached geometric abstraction not as formalism, but as a means of structuring philosophical, scientific, and spiritual ideas. Using line, geometry and the grid, each of these artists created diagrammatic drawings of their exploration of complex belief systems and restorative practices. Noteworthy among the 150 illustrations in the volume are a large number of works by Hilma af Klint, reproduced here for the first time in a major publication; Emma Kunz's drawings, exhibited in the United States for the first time in 2005; and approximately 20 early works by Agnes Martin. The book also includes writings by each of the artists, an introduction by Catherine de Zegher, seven essays by distinguished contributors, and brief statements from five contemporary artists. Exhibition schedule: The Drawing Center, New York City, 25 March to 21 May 2005; Santa Monica Museum of Art, 10 June to 13 August 2005; Kunsthallen Brandts Klaedefabrik, Odense, Denmark, 14 October 2005 to 1 January 2006; The Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin, 24 January to 26 March 2006.

Einleitungssatz
Dictionaries derive the adjective "abstract" from the Latin word abstrahere, meaning "to draw from, to remove, to separate," and define the noun "abstraction" as "the act or process of abstracting: the state of being abstracted." Lesen Sie die erste Seite

Opening the Doors of perception
10. November 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
With a few notable exceptions including M.C. Escher, Dali, and a few others, I'd never really thought of drawing or painting in terms of being a means to an end other than self expression. Af Klint, Kunz, and Martin came from three different parts of the world and from three different generations. Each of them had a slightly different approach to drawing. What they had in common was that they used drawing as a means to explore the inner universe of consciousness and perception. In that regard, they were way, way, way, ahead of their time.
It might be a stretch to call Carl Jung an artist, but he did the same thing through the exploration of dreams. Likewise, Timothy Leary, Richard Alpert, and their cohorts aren't usually considered artists, yet they too explored consciousness and the nature of existence (albeit by different means)along the same lines as the three women represented here.
This is a fantastic book for anyone interested in drawing.
There's an extra reward for those who also happen to be interested in the exploration of the mind, perception, and ultimately, a quest for spirituality.

For the Alchemists
22. Januar 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
If you are searching for voices in art that speak for mysticism, creativity and depth, go no further than this book. A smart book connecting the lives of 3 key artists who are often over looked for their male counterparts, this book is essential reading. Also, if you are into patterns in nature, alchemy, inner transformation through the creative process or healing, there's not a better collect to start with as an introduction to these three artists.
