Fußball-Oden
by Albert Ostermaier, Florian Süssmayr
Als »Expressionist« unter den zeitgenössischen Dichtern ist es nicht erstaunlich, wenn Albert Ostermaier sich der Sportart zuwendet, die an die Emotionen vieler Menschen rührt, dem Fußball. Als »klassischen« unter den zeitgenössischen Dichtern versteht es sich von selbst, dass er die strenge Form variiert: die Ode. Bekannt geworden ist vor allem Albert Ostermaiers Ode an den »Titan«, den Torhüter Oliver Kahn: »wenn er beim eckball wie ein blonde katze aus dem tor stürmt auf einer welle der begeisterung durch die blauen lüfte fliegt«. Die Weltmeisterschaft bildet den Anlass, um eine Auswahl seiner Fußball-Gedichte zu veröffentlichen – illustriert von dem Fußball-Narr Florian Süßmayr.

September 1996Die träumenden Knaben und Der weiße Tiertöter
by Oskar Kokoschka, Oskar Kokoschka
Oskar Kokoschka (1886-1980) ist als Maler wie als Schriftsteller in erster Linie als Expressionist bekannt und als solcher berühmt geworden. Sein Erstlingswerk, Die träumenden Knaben (1907 in nur wenigen Exemplaren erschienen), ist unter den von ihm selbst illustrierten Texten insofern eine Rarität, als es textlich schon dem Expressionismus, malerisch aber noch dem Jugendstil der Wiener Werkstätten nahesteht. Die Gustav Klimt gewidmete Ausgabe ist mit farbintensiven, an Hinterglasmalereien erinnernden Lithographien ausgestattet – märchenhaften Szenen in leuchtenden Farben, ein Stil, der danach im Werk Kokschkas nicht wieder zu finden ist. Das Thema der erwachenden Sexualität aber, die Sehnsucht nach Zärtlichkeit und die Angst vor besitzergreifender Brutalität, ist sein Thema geblieben.

DESPERATELY SEEKING VAN GOGH
by Ian Castello-Cortes
A totally fresh look at the life and career of Van Gogh. The Desperately Seeking treatment is a great way to get a quick sense of the shape of Vincent's extraordinary life, and dispels many of the myths. By any measure he was a bit random. Educated privately by his very respectable parents, he spent time training to be an art dealer, became a teacher in Ramsgate and London when that failed, turned crazily to religion, went and lived as a quasi-preacher in the most depressed part of Belgium, enjoyed a spell at art school in Paris (when his prostitute habit was financed by his long-suffering brother) headed to the south of France – the period of the yellow house and the ear – before spending his final years, when his paintings did begin to be celebrated, in bucolic bliss just north of Paris. He was also probably killed accidentally as a result of a teenager's prank with a revolver – not the suicide which so many specialists have suggested, such is the sentimental view of him. Wonderful Van Gogh art and photos throughout and fascinating maps.

FictionBalerina, balerina/Ballerina, Ballerina
by Marko Sosič
Ballerina is fifteen years old. She lives with her mother, father, and brother in a small village. She loves watching the chestnut tree in their backyard because of the birds sleeping in its branches. She is fond of singing and is happy when her friend Ivan visits. But sometimes she breaks plates and glasses. And every morning she wets the bed. Ballerina is different from her peers.The short novel Ballerina, Ballerina is set in the 1960s, a period of great leaps and advances for humanity. But to Ballerina, who earned her nickname from a tendency to stand on tiptoes when distressed, the relationships between those closest to her, the light of the day and the dark of the night, the changing of seasons and her dreams are far more important than the news that the first person walked on the moon or that the war in Vietnam had begun. Although her view of the world can seem narrow, it may be that, perhaps precisely because of that, it is much more attuned to what really matters in life.Drawing comparison to William Faulkner in its expressionistic depiction of Ballerina’s interior world, this is a classic of contemporary Slovenian literature: a hugely popular exploration of a character whose world is so divorced from what we think of as reality.

Jazz by Henri Matisse
by Francesco Poli
The French artist creates this masterpiece at the age of 78. Despite some health problems that force him into a wheelchair, Matisse does not lose his inexhaustible curiosity. Matisse experiments with a new technique - then called “papiers découpés” or “drawing with scissors”- he produces large collages that show abstract compositions by using intense and vibrant coloured paper cut-outs. Jazz represents the creative milestone of Matisse’s life. For the first time, the artist uses the paper cut-out as a mean of communication rather than a compositional tool.This creative book is made up of 20 plates illustrating the circus and the artist’s travels. Therefore, it is inspired by circus, folk tales, theatre mythology and plays. The title “Jazz” refers to the improvisational techniques used throughout the book, where expressionist art and the musical improvisation found in jazz are combined together.It was published in 1947 by Editions Tériade with a final run of only 250 copies.

History of art & design styles: from c 1900 -January 2017Hungarian Art
Confrontation and Revival in the Modern Movement
by Éva Forgács
“I was unable to put down [this book]; one that will be used by those interested in the field for a long time to come.”– Dr. Oliver Botar, Hungarian Cultural Studies Insightful essays, monographic texts, and rarely-seen images trace from birth to maturation several generations of Hungarian Modernism, from the avant-garde to neo-avant-garde. Éva Forgács corrects long-standing misconceptions about Hungarian art while examining the work and social milieu of dozens of important Hungarian artists. The book also paints a fascinating image of twentieth-century Budapest as a microcosm of the social and political turmoil raging across Europe up to and beyond the collapse of the Soviet Era.

Art & design styles: Conceptual artAugust 2021Sting in the Tale
Art, Hoax, and Provocation
by Antoinette LaFarge
An illustrated survey of artist hoaxes, including impersonations, fabula, cryptoscience, and forgeries, researched and written by an expert “fictive-art” practitioner. The shift from the early information age to our 'infocalypse' era of rampant misinformation has given rise to an art form that probes this confusion, foregrounding wild creativity as a way to reframe assumptions about both fiction and art in contemporary culture. At its center, this “fictive art” (LaFarge’s term) is secured as fact by employing the language and display methods of history and science. Using typically evidentiary objects such as documentary photographs and videos, presumptively historical artifacts and relics, didactics, lectures, events, and expert opinions in technical language, artists create a constellation of manufactured evidence attesting to the artwork’s central narrative. This dissimulation is temporary, with a clear “tell” often surprisingly revealed in a self-outing moment. With all its attendant consequences of mistrust, outrage, and rejection, this genre of art with a sting in its tale is a radical form whose time has come.
