Summary:
First theorized by composer Richard Wagner, the total artwork, or "gesamtkunstwerk," proposed a synthesis of all arts towards a single, unified spectacle. Wagner's ambitious conception flowered in the early twentieth century throughout numerous avant gardes, particularly in German Expressionism, where art forms cross-pollinated and collaborated to a remarkable degree. Past considerations of Expressionism have tended to focus only on individual genres, making "The Total Artwork in Expressionism: Art, Film, Literature, Theater, Dance and Architecture 1905-1925" the first-ever publication to examine the interplay between these forms.

Summary:
Autour de 1900, Paris rassemble une nouvelle génération de sculpteurs consciente de vivre l’aube d’une nouvelle ère et cherchant un langage pour cet avenir encore indécis. Paris est aussi un milieu intellectuel traversé de nouvelles idées qui stimulent les débats esthétiques et renouvellent nombre de questions : autonomie par rapport à la peinture, détour par le passé, relation à l’espace et au temps. Des penseurs comme Bergson, James, Nietzsche et Simmel, en substituant des notions comme l’intuition et la mouvance à la raison et à la permanence, fécondent la création plastique. Des sculpteurs aux sensibilités en apparence incompatibles apparaissent finalement comme formant un ensemble cohérent dans ce contexte.

Summary:
This Is Tomorrow was a seminal exhibition of art, architecture, music and graphic design that took place at London's Whitechapel Gallery in August 1956. At its core was a room given over to the Independent Group, the proto-Pop collective comprised of (at various stages) the theorists Reyner Banham and Lawrence Alloway, photographer Nigel Henderson and the artists Eduardo Paolozzi, Richard Hamilton, William Turnbull and John McHale. The Independent Group's room premiered works of Op art alongside film posters, collages, murals, films and a jukebox, and was Britain's introduction to the phenomenon later named Pop. The spiralbound catalogue for This Is Tomorrow was designed by Edward Wright and published by Lund Humphries; out of print since 1957, it has since become a much sought-after rarity and a classic of graphic design and postwar visual culture. This facsimile edition is published for the Whitechapel's 2010-11 reconstruction of the 1956 show.

Summary:
The snake as an ambivalent symbol and the serpentine line as form and medium are part of the culture of Surrealism. They link Jackson Pollock to Max Ernst. The focus of the work of Max von Moos is human existence under threat, and the motif of the snake is encountered repeatedly in his painting. In the generation after him , André Thomkins and Aldo Walker, who were familiar with his oeuvre, worked with the form of the snake redeemed as a freely curving line. Paul Klee described the serpentine line as an active line on a walk, moving freely, without goal.
