{"product_id":"klee-and-kandinsky-isbn-9783791354804","title":"Klee and Kandinsky","description":"Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky, two of the most influential figures in the modernist movement, are the subject of this illuminating book that opens a dialogue between their work, friendship, and influence on each other. Klee and Kandinsky were towering figures of the modernist movement and were close, both as friends and artists. For a time\u003cbr\u003ethey lived next door to one another, and exchanged their artistic\u003cbr\u003eideas on a daily basis. This unique book explores their 30-year\u003cbr\u003erelationship, from the time of the Blue Rider group around 1912,\u003cbr\u003eto the Bauhaus years in Weimar and Dessau until the late 1930s.\u003cbr\u003eWith the culture of the Weimar Republic as a backdrop, this book\u003cbr\u003etraces the eventful history of an artistic friendship. Kandinsky’s\u003cbr\u003eidealism is juxtaposed with Klee’s irony, and we learn that their\u003cbr\u003erelationship was characterized in equal measure by friendship\u003cbr\u003eand competitiveness, mutual influence and the need to establish\u003cbr\u003edistance. The focus is on the artistic dialogue they enacted\u003cbr\u003ethrough their art. They were joined by an aspiration to spiritualize\u003cbr\u003eart and explore its intrinsic laws. At the same time, Kandinsky’s\u003cbr\u003ecommitment to abstraction contrasted strongly with Klee’s\u003cbr\u003eallegiance to natural models.","brand":"Prestel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48233301377253,"sku":"NP9783791354804","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9783791354804.jpg?v=1767730809","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/klee-and-kandinsky-isbn-9783791354804","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
