Art meets architecture: Bettina Cohnen brings together East and West as well as combining a photo essay and photographic art in ''Duett der Moderne''. In her photo series, she shows people in the famous post-war Berlin neighbourhoods of Karl-Marx-Allee and the Hansaviertel in their surroundings, with all their complexity and intimacy. At the same time, she traces the idea behind the respective architecture. After all, the essential concern of modernist architects was good and affordable housing for everyone. This applied as from 1950 to the planning of the 'Sozialistische Straße' and later Karl-Marx-Allee in East Berlin as well as to the new Hansaviertel in West Berlin in 1957. Today, the rivalry between the systems has turned into a duet: a duo uniting East and West. The catalogue for the exhibition ''Duett der Moderne'' combines photo essay and photographic art, the mediation of architectural culture, and the living history of monuments. Stories behind the facades: Photo artist Bettina Cohnen shows people in Berlin's East and West neighbourhoods, and sets architecture and history into a new artistic context Exhibition: Mitte Museum, Berlin, February to September 2025

Le Corbusier hat 1954 in Ahmedabad den Sitz des Textilherstellerverbandes entworfen, der bislang nur selten publiziert wurde, aber dennoch als wichtiger Meilenstein im Werk des Architekten gilt. Der Bau nimmt grundlegende Stilmittel seines späteren Schaffens vorweg, wie beispielsweise für das Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts in Harvard. Das Buch dokumentiert das Gebäude und setzt es in Bezug zu seinem theoretischen Werk, wie Vers une architecture. Die Bedeutung zentraler Bezugspersonen wie Paul Valéry und John Ruskin für Le Corbusiers Arbeit manifestiert sich hier. Wichtige Elemente wie die promenade architecturale und der Gebrauch von brise-soleils werden dargelegt. Zahlreiche maßstäbliche Zeichnungen und neu erstellte Modelle verdeutlichen die wichtigsten Gestaltungsaspekte des Gebäudes.

The most private of artists was beguiled by a hardscrabble farm and its residents down the road from his studio, revealing some of his most personal friendships, and yielding some of his most iconic paintings.Andrew Wyeth first discovered the haunting beauty of the farm owned by German immigrants Karl and Anna Kuerner on his boyhood rambles in Pennsylvania’s bucolic Brandywine River Valley, and it would captivate him for the rest of his life, appearing as subject of more than one thousand landscapes, interiors, and portraits. As traced throughout this volume, just what Wyeth uncovered beneath the farm’s austere facade is key to understanding his singular artistic vision.This intimate look at Wyeth’s decades-long connection to Kuerner Farm and the people there reveals not only the source of many of the artist’s most deeply resonant paintings but also the secrets that have given his deceptively simple art its mysterious pull on the popular imagination for generations. As Wyeth became one of the country’s most celebrated artists, he continued to return to the farm, the Kuerners, and to the enigmatic Helga Testorf, creating timeless portraits from an experience of deep looking and charting a way toward unearthing from the ordinary, the extraordinary.

*APPROVED* A new exploration of literary and artistic responses to WW1 from 1914 to the present This authoritative reference work examines literary and artistic responses to the war's upheavals across a wide range of media and genres, from poetry to pamphlets, sculpture to television documentary, and requiems to war reporting. Rather than looking at particular forms of artistic expression in isolation and focusing only on the war and inter-war period, the 26 essays collected in this volume approach artistic responses to the war from a wide variety of angles and, where appropriate, pursue their inquiry into the present day. In 6 sections, covering Literature, the Visual Arts, Music, Periodicals and Journalism, Film and Broadcasting, and Publishing and Material Culture, a wide range of experts across literature and the arts examine what means and approaches were employed to respond to the shock of war. How and why have literary and artistic responses to the war changed over time? How far are later works of art responses not only to the war itself, but to earlier cultural production? These are key questions that this volume seeks to answer. Ann-Marie Einhaus is Senior Lecturer in Modern and Contemporary Literature at Northumbria University.
