Magisterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Kunst - Grafik; Druck; Note: 1;0; Philipps-Universitauml;t Marburg (Kunstgeschichtliches Institut); 77 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis; Sprache: Deutsch; Abstract: Heute beschreiben Historiker ihn als die bdquo;Urkatastrophe des 20. Jahrhundertsldquo; (Burgdorff u. Wiegrefe). Der Erste Weltkrieg sprengte alle bisher guuml;ltigen Kategorien und wurde zum Paradigma der Gewalterfahrung. Neueste Waffentechniken forderten die maximale Zerstouml;rung. Der zermuuml;rbende Stellungs- und Grabenkrieg; der vor allem die Westfront bestimmte; verwuuml;stete ganze Landstriche und forderte insgesamt uuml;ber 3 Millionen tote Soldaten auf allen Seiten. Otto Dix; Kuuml;nstler und Soldat; kehrte nach vier Jahren Kriegsdienst an der Front unversehrt zuruuml;ck. Das Erleben des Krieges prauml;gte fortan sein kuuml;nstlerisches Schaffen. Diese Arbeit widmet sich seinem 1924 verouml;ffentlichten Radierzyklus "Der Krieg"; in dem er das Sterben und Vegetieren der Soldaten in den Schuuml;tzengrauml;ben des Ersten Weltkrieges schilderte. Es wird die ideologisch gefuuml;hrte Debatte dargestellt; die sich seit der Verouml;ffentlichung 1924 um die Radierungen entspann und der Bogen bis zum gegenwauml;rtige Stand der Forschung gespannt. Die Analyse legt u.a. die kuuml;nstlerischen Strategien dar; die Dix entwickelte; um dem Betrachter glaubhaft zu vermitteln; hier die Wirklichkeit; wie er sie erfahren hatte; zu schildern. So integrierte Dix beispielsweise in seine Bildkompositionen charakteristische Auml;sthetiken von Reportagefotografien; um den Authentizitauml;teindruck des Dargestellten zu verstauml;rken. Aber auch der Vergleich mit zeitgenouml;ssischer Kriegsliteratur spielt in diesem Zusammenhang eine Rolle. Letztlich wird der Frage nachgegangen; inwiefern die 50 Radierungen des Zyklus eine Reflexion und Visualisierung der kriegsbedingten Traumatisierung des Kuuml;nstlers sind.

Tourists Will Love It; Austen Fans Will Love It MoreBy GoybabeIm often not a fan of Shire books; or others of the type; that try to take on a huge subject in a very limited number of pages. But that opinion doesnt take Louise Allen into account. Shes a solid novelist; but like all of us novelists shes drifted into other sorts of writing out of necessity. Ive drifted into doing historical research; for all sorts of businesses; including cable TV. Thats why I have such enormous respect for her. Shes able to do something astonishing; giving a deep and thorough view of a subject in a very lean package. I knew Paris far better than London; and I was very nervous; doing my first book set there. I actually ordered two books; at great expense; that were contemporaneous; both of them period guidebooks of London. They were great; of course. But I still found myself consulting this little book; constantly. It ended up on my desk rather than my bookshelves; along with four or five others I used constantly. And for a traveler to London its an eminently packable size; thin and lightweight; easily slipped into a backpack.She does a terrific job of cutting this large and cosmopolitan city down to size. With the terrific arrangement of photos and maps; you feel as if youre there; truly. At first I was irritated that all the maps were modern - it didnt help that I was having a hard time finding good period maps of both England and London. But surprisingly; as time passed; I saw that it was a better way. Not just for an Austen-loving tourist; who can walk these areas now and see them through her lens as you follow her text; but for a modern researcher. Much of London hasnt changed all that much; and when it has; the places are still there; with something else on them. Its not Bridewell anymore; its a hotel. But its still there; and the maps combined with the description of your walk brings it to life. Ive since discovered other of her books along these lean lines. Two of my favorites are Stagecoach Travel; an attempt to explain their complex and vitally-important coaching system of the period; and Regency Slang; an invaluable book that takes a half-dozen major sources of the cryptic Regency slang and lays them out; blessedly; by topic rather than alphabetically. Both are a godsend for any writer or researcher.I wish Ms. Allen a long life and the energy to do many more of these books; despite the mess the publishing business is in. Apart from the large Regency audience; writers need her; very much. Id love to meet her someday; someplace like a Romance Writers of America conference. She should have a large display table at all of them.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Walking in Jane Austens footstepsBy CustomerI followed Walk 5 from Soho to the British Museum on a recent visit to London. It was relatively easy to follow the map and directions. There is less information about Jane Austen and more about the history of the period in general. London has been rebuilt a lot so it was helpful to have a guide to point to some of the layers that otherwise I might walk past and not notice. It doesnt take so long to complete the walk; except I was distracted by shopping opportunities along the way! I am going to share this book with other Jane Austen enthusiasts at my local library.The photo is of the place where the poet Shelley lived after he was sent down from Oxford. He chose the location because he was sympathetic to the Polish revolutionaries and these lodgings are on Poland Street.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Terrific little bookBy dizzheartThe likelihood that Ill ever visit London is very slight; but I almost feel as if Ive been there. This is a slight little book with a lot of stuff of interest in it for anybody who loves Jane Austen and the regency. Well worth having.
