Dark Romanticism
From Goya to Max Ernst
Edited by Felix Krämer. Texts: Roland Borgards
Since the late eighteenth century, numerous
artists have been enthusiastic about the
sublimity of nature, the purity of emotion,
melancholy, and loneliness while at the same
time feeling drawn to the abysses of the
human condition, as is manifested in times of
war and economic crisis. Their works tell of
passion and death; their themes deal with the
mysterious, the uncanny, the irrational, the
fantastic, the grotesque, and evil.

Paul Klee
Life and Work
Michael Baumgartner
This richly illustrated volume traces Klee's
eventful biography, ranging from his artistic
beginnings with caricature-like drawings and
nudes, his encounter with the avant-garde and
the famous watercolors from his journey to
Tunisia, the abstract color compositions from
the Bauhaus era, to the mysterious, inventive
images of his last years in Bern.

Japanese Dream
Monica Maffioli
Characteristic of Beato's photographs-which in
the early days were exposed on albumin
plates-is their careful composition, occasionally
recalling woodcuts by master artists Hiroshige
or Hokusai. However, the Anglo-Italian
photographer and his fellow artists were
pioneers in hand-colored photography: their
vivid impressions provide a view of traditional
Japanese society. Unique portraits of geishas in
splendid kimonos, samurai, sumo wrestlers,
and scenes of everyday life or classic Japanese
landscapes.
