- Marcel Duchamp, 1887-1968 : art as anti-art / by Mink, Janis.;
Includes bibliographical references.Machine generated contents note: Why Not Sneeze? -- A Young Man in Spring -- On a Train of Thought -- Breaking Free -- Major Accomplishments.When is a urinal no longer a urinal? When Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) declared it to be art. The uproar that greeted the French artist's Fountain (1917), a porcelain urinal installed in a gallery, sent shock waves through the art world establishment that continue to reverberate to the present day. Duchamp made a career out of challenging our notions of what art is and, in the process, opened our minds to hitherto unknown possibilities. After an oblique version of Cubism in his early career, the artist made his name with Nude Descending a Staircase (1912), a groundbreaking blend of abstraction, Cubism, and Futurism, with a controversially mechanical titular nude.- Subjects: Duchamp, Marcel, 1887-1968.; Artists; Surrealism;

- Paul Klee, 1879-1940 : poet of colours, masters of lines / by Partsch, Susanna.; Klee, Paul,1879-1940,artist.; Schmitt-Thomas, Hilary,translator.;
Includes bibliographical references.Musician or painter -- The househusband, from draughtsman to painter -- The trip to Tunisia -- The first world war -- Bauhaus and Düsseldorf -- "Struck from the list" -- Paul Klee 1879-1940, life and work.With careful theories and many thousands of paintings, drawings, and watercolors, Paul Klee (1879-1940)is considered one of the most cerebral and prolific leaders of 20th century European art. Though typically small in scale, his works are remarkable for their sophisticated thought and meticulous nuances of line, colour, and tonality. Klee s stylistic formation was shaped by early affiliation with the German expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter and, in particular, by a 1914 trip to Tunisia which transformed his use of color. After the war, he taught at the esteemed Bauhaus school, where his lectures, like his emerging practice, emphasized the symbolic potential of shades, lines, and geometries. Klee was also inspired by Cubism, poetry, music, literature, language, and the simplistic power of children's art.- Subjects: Klee, Paul, 1879-1940.; Painting, Modern; Painting, German; Painting, Swiss;

- Futurism / by Martin, Sylvia,1964-; Grosenick, Uta,editor.; Gabriel, John William,translator.;
Art = action + life = futurism -- Giacomo Balla -- Giacomo Balla et al. -- Umberto Boccioni -- Anton, Guilio Bragaglia -- Carlo Carra -- Tullio Crali -- Fortunato Depero -- Gerardo Dottori -- Leonardo Dudreville -- Virgilio Marchi -- Filippo Tommaso Marinetti -- Enrico Prampolini -- Luigi Russolo -- Antonio Sant'Elia -- Gino Severini -- Mario Sironi -- Ardengo Soffici."Inspired by the development of Cubism, the Futurist movement was founded in 1909 by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, along with painters Giacomo Balla. Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carra, and Gino Severini. The school, which celebrated technology and the mechanical era, was comprised of painters, sculptors, designers, architects, and writers. Motion and machines were two main themes of this movement, which attacked the bastions of establishment and sparked controversy by its glorification of war and support of Fascism. Experimenting with movement, and speed, and abstract light and color, the Futurists developed approaches and techniques that were revolutionary at the time, and in retrospect one can see that the Futurists influenced other avant-garde art movements, most notably Russian Constructivism. Artists featured: Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni, Anton Giulio Bragaglia, Carlo Carra, Tullio Crali, Fortunato Depero, Gerardo Dottori, Leonardo Dudreville, Virgilio Marchi, F.T. Marinetti, Enrico Prampolini, Luigi Russolo, Antonio Sant'Elia, Gino Severini. Mario Sironi, Ardengo Soffici."--- Subjects: Futurism (Art);
