Plastique Plastic

Beschreibung

5 issues with separate commentary in transparent slipcase Conceived on the eve of World War II, the facsimile edition of this important 1930s magazine offers a unique and multifaceted perspective on abstract art during the first decades of the twentieth century. Created by Swiss artist Sophie Taeuber-Arp, “Plastique” encompasses the spirit of avant-garde art in Europe and the United States of America in a time where modern ideas and thinking started to become a dangerous good. Paintings, drawings, sculptures and texts in English, French and German trace traditions and changes in modern art through artworks of infl uential artists and voices of art historians and critics – often close friends with Taeuber-Arp. “Plastique’s” five issues illustrate the appreciation and the close bond between abstract artists in European countries and the United States and depict an air of internationality in times of increasing nationalism.
