No Customer Reviews
The plant as a mirror of the soul
Gew?chse der Seele explores the recurrence of plants as a motif in outsider art, symbolism and surrealism. Outsider art often features studies of plants, plant creatures, plants with souls and even plant-animal entities, here represented by works from the period between 1840 and 1945.
Symbolist and surrealist artists had a strong attraction to these works during the first decades of the 20th century. In this catalog, the outsider art by Anna Zem?nkov?, Hanna Hellman, Johannes Waldbrunner, Pellegrino Vignali and Ondrej Steberl is juxtaposed with symbolist and surrealist works by Mikalojus Konstantinas Ciurlionis, William Degouve de Nuncques, Max Ernst, Barbara Honywood, Paul Klee, Hilma af Klint, Frantisek Kupka, S?raphine Louis and Odilon Redon. Also featured are contemporary works by artists such as Wilhelm Groener, Doris Uhlich, Theater Thikwa & Martin Clausen, Walter Siegfried, Wolfgang Sautermeister, Dorothea Rust and Atelier Dell'Errore.Format:Hardcover
