Der Barock blieb bis ins 18. Jahrhundert hinein der dominierende Baustil Europas. Es ist kein radikaler Bruch mit der Vergangenheit, sondern hat sich organisch aus der Renaissance entwickelt. Deren architektonische Formen wurden zwar übernommen, aber in einer gänzlich anderen Weise ausgelegt. Der Barock äußert sich im belebenden Kontrast, in der Komplizierung der optischen Eindrücke, neigt zu pathetisch übersteigerten Darstellungen der widerstreitenden Kräfte.

Gotische Kathedralen scheinen dem Himmel zuzustreben. Somit symbolisieren sie Gottesnähe. Durch neuartige Bauweise gelang es, die Mittelschiffe enorm hoch zu bauen. Sie wurden mit wuchtigen Kreuzrippen überwölbt. Ein aufwendig gestaltetes Strebewerk leitete das Gewicht der Gewölbe in das Erdreich. Die Marienkirche in Lübeck z.B. besitzt mit ihrem 40 m hohen Mittelschiff das höchste gemauerte Backstein-Kirchenschiff der Welt.

Vor einiger Zeit war ich im Franz-Marc-Museum in Kochel. Weil Sara mich gebeten hat, über deutsche Kunst zu sprechen, werde ich das heute tun. Ich werde Euch etwas erzählen vom Blauen Reiter.

Der Blaue Reiter war ein Künstlerkreis in München. Gegründet wurde er von Franz Marc und Wassily Kandinsky 1911. Sie wollten die festgefahrenen Traditionen der akademischen Malerei befreien. Mit dabei waren auch August Macke, Alexej von Jawlensky und Kandinskys Lebensgefährtin Gabriele Münter. Sie alle sind bis heute berühmte Künstler, deren Werke in vielen Museen weltweit zu sehen sind. Gemeinsam brachten sie einen Almanach heraus und organisierten Ausstellungen.

Die abstrakten, farbenfrohen und oft grafisch wirkenden Bilder von Wassily Kandinsky sind bis heute auf Postern, Postkarten und allen möglichen anderen Gegenständen zu sehen. Er ist eigentlich schon fast ein Pop-Art-Künstler, auch wenn er natürlich offiziell nicht zu dieser Gruppe gehört. Franz Marc ist berühmt geworden durch seine immer weiter verfremdeten Bilder von Pferden und anderen Tieren.

Besonders interessant ist es, wenn man in Bayern nach den Spuren dieser Künstler sucht. Zum Beispiel lebten sie lange in Schwabing, genauer gesagt in der Ainmillerstraße. Schwabing ist ein Stadtteil von München, der in den 20er-Jahren berühmt war für seine Künstler ateliers. Hier in den Kneipen trafen sich berühmte Autoren und Maler. Wenn die Künstler genug hatten von der Stadt, gingen sie aufs Land. Franz Marc und Kandinsky ließen sich in Murnau nieder, am Kochelsee. Es ist wunderschön dort - man fährt von München aus gut eine Stunde mit dem Auto Richtung Süden und in die Alpen hinein. Und dort steht dann zum einen das so genannte Russenhaus, in dem Kandinsky und Münter lebten, und das gerade modernisierte und erweiterte Franz-Marc-Museum.

Es ist tragisch, dass einige dieser interessanten Künstler so jung gestorben sind. Franz Marc und August Macke fielen im Ersten Weltkrieg, Marc war gerade mal 36 Jahre alt. Kandinsky ging zurück nach Rußland und lebte später in Paris, wo er 1944 starb. Der Blaue Reiter existierte nicht mehr, und München war nicht länger eine internationale Kunst- und Kulturhauptstadt.

Wenn Ihr nach München kommt, dann müsst Ihr unbedingt in das Lenbachhaus gehen. Das Lenbachhaus ist mein Lieblingsmuseum. Es ist eine schöne Villa, die beinahe so aussieht, als stünde sie in der Toskana. Dabei liegt sie mitten in München, gleich in der Nähe des Königsplatzes. Hier sind viele Bilder des Blauen Reiter zu sehen, viele davon wurden von Gabriele Münter der Stadt München geschenkt. Im Moment ist eine Kandinsky- Sonderausstellung hier zu sehen, die später in diesem Jahr nach Paris weiterzieht und nach New York.

Was die deutsche Kunstszene heute macht? Sie ist weiterhin lebendig. Es gibt einige große Namen, hauptsächlich allerdings sind es Männer. Zum Beispiel Jörg Immendorff und Georg Baselitz. Ich empfehle Euch die Werke von Gerhard Richter, vor allem die älteren Gemälde von ihm.

In October of last year street artist Megx converted a bridge in Wuppertal, Germany into a giant Lego structure using colored panels that create the illusion of being the underside of Lego bricks. The bridge itself is part of the Wuppertal Bewegung e.V., an old train line that has been converted to a pedestrian and cycle path. How great is this? There's been no shortage of giant toys and games in the streets lately. See much more on his website. Photos above courtesy Lukas Power and Rolf Dellenbusch. (via kastormag)

Synopsis

Höch was not only a rare female practicing prominently in the arts in the early part of the 20 th century - near unique as a female active in the Dada movement that coalesced in her time - she also consciously promoted the idea of women working creatively more generally in society. She explicitly addressed in her pioneering artwork in the form of photomontage the issue of gender and the figure of woman in modern society. Her transformation of the visual elements of others by integrating them into her own larger creative projects evidenced a well-developed early example of "appropriation" as an artistic technique.

Key Ideas

Höch was a key progenitor of the self-conscious practice of collaging diverse photographic elements from different sources to make art. This strategy of combining formerly unrelated images to make sometimes startling, sometimes insightful connections was one that came to be adopted by many Dada and Surrealist artists of her era, and also by later generations of "post-modern" conceptual artists in other media, including sculptural installations, mixed media and moving images, as well as in still photography.

Höch also helped expand the notion of what could be considered art by incorporating found elements of popular culture into "higher" art. She was one of many Dadaists to take advantage of such means, but she was both among the first, and one of the most self-consciously explicit in describing the goals and effects of doing so.

A political iconoclast, she actively critiqued prevailing society in her work, and, implicitly, through many of her life choices. Her active interest in challenging the status of women in the social world of her times motivated a long series of works that promoted the idea of the "New Woman" in the era.

Hannah Höch Overview Continues Below

Biography

Childhood and Education

Hannah Höch was born as Anna Therese Johanne Höch into an upper middle class family in southeast Germany. Her father Friedrich was the supervisor of an insurance company, while her mother Rosa was an amateur painter. She later claimed that her father believed that "a girl should get married and forget about studying art." She was the eldest of five children. Her education began at the local girls' high school, but it ended early when she was 15, as her parents needed her to stay at home and look after her youngest sister.

Her education was only picked up again six years later, when in 1912 she joined the School of Applied Arts in Berlin. Here she studied glass design, discovering an interest in the applied arts and design that would inform her later practice. The school was closed at the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, and she returned home to join the Red Cross.

She was able to return to Berlin in 1915, and studied graphic arts at the School of the Royal Museum of Applied Arts under Emil Orlik. In the same year she met the Dadaist artist Raoul Hausmann. The pair went on to have an intense and stormy romantic relationship. She also became close friends with the artist Kurt Schwitters, who reportedly added the final "H" to her adopted name of "Hannah," so that it would be palindromic.

Early Period

Hannah Höch and Raoul Hausmann next to their artworks

Between 1916 and 1926, Höch worked for the magazine and newspaper publishers Ullstein Verlag. She worked in the department dedicated to handicrafts and designed patterns for crochet, knitting and embroidery. In 1918 she wrote a manifesto of modern embroidery, which encouraged Weimar women to pursue the "spirit" of their generation and to "develop a feeling for abstract forms" through their handwork.

Hannah Höch Biography Continues

In the same year, Höch and Hausmann took a holiday to the Ostsee, where she later claimed to have discovered the concept of photomontage that would be fundamental to her artistic practice. They found images that German soldiers sent home to their families, with pictures of their faces pasted onto the bodies of musketeers. From these she claimed she discovered the power of collage to "alienate" images - that is, to give them new meanings when placed in conjunction with new elements and in new contexts.

Höch soon started to make the photomontage images for which she is best known. During the late 1910s and early 1920s she was part of the Dada movement in Berlin. She is the only woman to have been involved among this group of creative innovators and would-be avant-garde cultural revolutionaries, but that distinction was often something of a double-edged sword. Her work was exhibited at the First International Dada Fair in Berlin, but before the show's opening George Grosz and John Heartfield tried to stop her from being included. It was only when her lover Raoul Hausmann threatened to pull his own contributions from the exhibition that they relented. Dadaist Hans Richter's only memory of her is of the food she provided, writing in his memoirs of the "sandwiches, beer and coffee she managed somehow to conjure up despite the shortage of money."

Although Höch's aesthetic of borrowing from popular culture, dismemberment and collage fitted well with that of the Dadaists, the union was an uneasy one, not least because of the inherent sexism of the movement. She also felt uncomfortable with the exhibitionist element of the Dada circle, and was embarrassed by the behavior of some of her peers. In 1922, she ended her relationship with Hausmann.

Mature Period

Towards the end of the 1920s, she had moved away from the group and was starting to make connections with other artists. She became friends with Piet Mondrian, Tristan Tzara and László Moholy-Nagy, and was influenced by the De Stijl movement. She settled in The Hague in the Netherlands in 1926, and started a lesbian relationship with Dutch writer Til Brugman. The couple lived together for the next decade.

During the rise of the Nazi party in Germany in the 1930s, Höch found herself under attack from the party as a producer of "degenerate art." She was supposed to have an exhibition of her work at the Bauhaus school in 1932, but it was closed by the local Nazi council. She had been designated a "cultural Bolshevik," along with many other Dadaists. She returned to Berlin permanently in 1936. While other artists fled Germany, Höch stayed in her own form of exile. She bought a house near Berlin and lived there throughout the Second World War, hoping that her neighbors would not guess her identity and give her away. She married Kurt Matthies, a businessman and pianist, in 1938. The marriage ended in divorce in 1944.

Late Period

After the War, Höch broke many of her pre-War ties, both artistically and socially. Her work moved away from her figurative montages and veered into the territory of abstraction, which was being explored by many artists at the time. Although she still produced work on a fairly prolific scale, her pieces from this era are less well-known and generally less well-received by critics.

Art historian Dawn Ades visited Höch in her Berlin home in the early 1970s, and found that the artist was "as interested in nature as she was in art." She recalls how "you had to crawl under apple trees to get through the front door. She incorporated leaves and twigs and other organic matter into her collages of the time."

Legacy

Höch's deliberate attempt to obscure herself during the Second World War, and the fact that she continued to live in her modest home on the outskirts of Berlin until the end of her life, may account for her relative obscurity. The art historian Dawn Ades notes that "she wasn't interested in becoming a celebrity," which perhaps speaks to her early embarrassment at the exhibitionism of the Dada group.

Nevertheless, her pioneering work in photomontage was influential for many later artists, especially for women artists. These include her near-contemporaries German-born Grete Stern and Surrealist artist Claude Cahun, as well as later artists such as Cindy Sherman. The influence of her style has also been traced in the cut-up aesthetic of the punk movement, which came in just after her death in the early 1980s.

If you follow the book closely, you will have most of your display work on expressionism; but I compensated with research homework. One student to investigate, explain and display one Epoche. It's a broad brush stroke but it looks good. And now the Frenchies in my school want to steal the idea and stick their work on OUR timeline

but expressionist art before and during the Weimar Republic are sooo good! The Berlinerische Gallerie has an exhibition on that as well. Otto Dix, George Grosz, August Macke and Der Blaue Reiter etc. Could even link to the literature of the time - Alfred Döblin or film like Fritz Lang and Walther Ruttmann - one of my fave topics!

Absolutely no experience of this, but can art include music? I'm thinking furniture design (Bauhaus movement), Dadaism Hansa studio (get them to translate Heros, recorded there), plus Strauss, graffiti, DDR Briefmarken art, Nazi propaganda through art, I think it would be an amazing topic, so visual and exciting! And I wouldn't discount architecture like Fachwerkhäuser that is to be found throughout Germany, the Hundertwasser house....there's heaps you could use to spice it up

Berlin is known for its underground scene of artists, DJs and techno, but it was the actual underground that captured the attention of photographer Sebastian Spasic. In his project Berlin Lines, a collaboration with website Pixartprinting, Spasic photographed 20 people in the German capital's metro stations that had a particular significance to them. "Subway stations are part of people's daily landscape but in most cases go unnoticed," he says, "but if people wake up to some elements of the stations, like the rich typography, the colour palettes, they can appreciate a new point of view full of meaning and interesting facts." To Spasic, Berlin is one of the world's creative capitals: "It's an eclectic city with a youthful and tolerant mentality. It's best experienced and not explained."
