Le prix d'expédition sera calculé au moment du paiement.
Modern art’s search for new forms sometimes led artists back to the Middle Ages. Gothic Modern examines the attraction of northern European Gothic art for artists working between the 1870s and 1920s, revealing connections between historical imagery and the emotional demands of modern life.
Edited by Ralph Gleis and Julia Zaunbauer, this illustrated study brings together paintings and prints by Munch, Beckmann, Kollwitz and a wider group including Böcklin, Dix, Dürer, Schiele and Simberg. Spirituality, sexuality, identity and society provide points of connection across periods. The book invites readers to see Gothic art as an active resource for artists confronting their own time.
This 304-page hardback is particularly rewarding for readers interested in the relationship between historical art and modern expression. Its range makes it a useful companion to books on individual artists, placing familiar names within a wider conversation about the uncanny, belief and human vulnerability. A strong choice for anyone drawn to the emotional intensity of prints and paintings.
