  • A recommendation from @neuegaleriebookstore: Magic Realism: Art in Weimar Germany 1919-33,” edited by Matthew Gale and Katy Wan. – This elegant publication reveals a vibrant and under-explored seam of modernist painting in Germany and Austria during the Weimar era. Although “magic realism” is a term today more commonly associated with the 20th-century literature of Latin America, it was first coined in 1925 by the German art historian and critic Franz Roh to describe an emerging style of modern realist paintings with fantasy or dreamlike subjects, and is often seen as parallel to or overlapping with the New Objectivity movement. – Available in-store and online at shop.neuegalerie.org. – #NeueGalerie #NeueGalerieNY #Malevich#BookLover #Reading #BookFace #BookFaceFriday #Friday #TGIF

  • One of the concerns of the founders of the Wiener Werkstätte was to present a unified graphic identity. All letterhead, logos, invoices, and other graphic materials were designed to ensure a cohesive unity. The Wiener Werkstätte’s purpose of expanding their production line with the design of postcards was to also confer the idea of the Gesamtkunstwerk or “total work of art” on to this media. By doing so they developed a new art form unique unto itself. In 1907, the Wiener Werkstätte began publishing a numbered series of postcards, which would ultimately exceed 1,000. The cards document a wide range of contemporary events.When the fashion department was founded in 1910, costume and accessories became another popular area that was depicted in the postcards. – Maria Likarz-Strauss (1893-1971), Fashion, Wiener Werkstätte Postcard 557 Chromolithograph, 1911.

  • With precious gemstones hand-selected from around the world, Brooklyn-based artist Judy Geib captures the evanescent promise of Spring in her jewelry designs, available in the Neue Galerie Design Shop. – Geib moved to New York for art, and, after twenty years of drawing and painting and making objects, began making jewelry. According to Geib, hand making is especially important to her practice because, it is a slow process that lets ideas gradually, haltingly, come into focus and be tumbled around and played with and splintered off and pursued indefinitely in unforeseen directions. – Available in-store and online at @neuedesign. – #NeueGalerie #NeueGalerieNY #NeueNow #Design #Jewelry #JewelryDesign #JudyGeib #Spring #Flowers #Blooming #FirstDayOfSpring

  • Edvard Munch (1863-1944) was highly regarded for his exploration of dark themes, including alienation, sin, and human vulnerability. Munch’s use of vivid color intensifies the emotional power of his subject matter, an approach which helped to pave the way for an entirely new attitude towards art during the early twentieth century. – Munch and Expressionism, a 2015 exhibition at Neue Galerie New York, was the first thorough study of the artist’s work in the context of his German and Austrian peers. – Edvard Munch (1863-1944), Two Human Beings.
