Paul Klee and the Decorative in Modern Art
Author: Jenny Anger
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521822503
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
One of the goals of Modernism was the presentation of the essence of art, or pure form. Encouraged by theorists, modern artists found pure form in ornament which, though promising, was sullied by connotations of materiality, domesticity, and femininity. Jenny Anger demonstrates that the decorative significantly informed Paul Klee's art. She compares his work to that of another major modernist, Henri Matisse, to confirm the critical role of the decorative in Modernism. Anger also explores the relevance of the decorative for contemporary and, especially, women artists.
