San Francisco, Calif.: Wittenborn Art Books, 2013. Recent Publication.. First digital edition, fully searchable PDF on CD-ROM. Edited by Jürg Spiller, translated by Ralph Manheim. 588 pp., 1200 illustrations. 'The writings which compose Paul Klee's theory of form production and pictorial form have the same importance and the same meaning for modern art as had Leonardo's writings which composed his theory of painting for Renaissance art. Like the latter, they do not constitute a true and proper treatise, that is to say a collection of stylistic and technical rules, but are the result of an introspective analysis which the artist engages in during his work and in the light of the experience of reality which comes to him in the course of his work. This analysis which accompanies and controls the formation of a work of art is a necessary component of the artistic process, the aim and the finality of which are brought to light by it..." So writes Giulio Carlo Argan in his Preface to this first… Leer más

Decorative boards. 32.5 x 23.5 cm. 192 pages, 156 color illustrations,...At the end of the 19th century, Switzerland saw the flourishing of two phenomena that nothing seems to bring together, winter sports and artistic posters. The former find in the geography and climate of the country an incomparably favorable environment, the latter take advantage of the dynamism of talented artists to blossom and develop in an extraordinary movement of creativity. Faced with the necessities of commerce and advertising, the two meet and lead to the production, over more than a century, of thousands of posters, many of which, by their quality, pay tribute not only to winter sports but also to the beauty of the mountain and the genius of those who made them.In order to get to know these exceptional works of art better, the publisher Patrick Cramer in Geneva is today publishing a book, the only one to date exclusively devoted to them, which… Leer más
