A partire dalle esperienze fin de siecle dei simbolisti, e dalle ricerche sinestetiche fra pittura musica e teatro di Wassily Kandinsky, l'articolo prende in esame alcuni fra i principali tentativi intrapresi dai maestri della scena contemporanea per fare dei teatro e dello spettacolo gli strumenti di un'azione efficace sullo spcttatore e, prima ancora, sullo stesso attore, soffermandosi in particolare su Eisenstcin, Artaud e Grotowski.

Статья посвящена биографии малоизученного в России австрийского художника, иллюстратора и писателя Альфреда Кубина. Художник был участником таких творческих объединений, как «Новое мюнхенское художественное объединение» и «Синий всадник». Василий Кандинский восхищался его творчеством и ставил Кубина в ряд с известными символистами, в частности, с Морисом Метерлинком. Кубин проявил себя как плодотворный художник, он издал несколько альбомов печатной графики, а также проиллюстрировал несколько десятков книг, среди которых произведения Ф.М. Достоевского, Н.В. Гоголя, Э. По, Гофмана, Жана Поля, Георга Тракля, Вольтера, Бальзака, Флобера, Г.Х. Андерсена и других. На русском языке книги, проиллюстрированные Кубиным, не издавались, за исключением его собственного романа «Другая сторона», впервые опубликованного на русском языке в 2000 году. Данная статья является первым шагом на пути изучения творчества художника и представляет биографический материал, собранный из различных немецко- и англоязычных источников. The article is about a biography of insufficiently explored in Russia Austrian artist, illustrator and writer Alfred Kubin. The artist was a member of art groups as the «New Munich Art Association» and the «Blue Rider».

Wassily Kandinsky

Wassily Kandinsky is widely regarded as one of the most prominent examples of a synaesthetic artist. However, in the scientific literature there is disagreement on the genuineness of his synaesthesia. This paper investigates whether Kandinsky had inborn synaesthesia, while acknowledging that there are also types of induced synaesthesia which he may have cultivated. As these two types of synaesthesia are seen to work additively in some synaesthetes and not to be mutually exclusive, this is not seen as an argument against the view that he was a true inborn synaesthete. Whether Kandinsky was a synaesthete is examined through a detailed study of his primary writings (e.g., On the Spiritual in Art, Point and Line to Plane, and Reminiscences), in light of the modern diagnostic criteria. The experiences described in those writings indicate that his synaesthetic perceptions were genuine and inborn and not just a theoretical endeavour. Given the genetic dimension of synaesthesia, this view is further supported by the fact that Kandinsky’s uncle Victor Kandinsky also described having synaesthetic experiences.

Expressionism was one of the foremost modernist movements to emerge in Europe in the early years of the twentieth-century. It had a profound effect on the visual arts, as well as on music, dance, drama, literature, poetry, and cinema. Rather than depict physical reality, Expressionism developed as a reaction against the prevailing interest in positivism, naturalism, and Impressionism, as artists who were heavily influenced by the work of Edvard Munch and Vincent Van Gogh sought to explore subjective content, finding the visual means to fully evoke or express an emotion, mood, or idea through their artwork. Expressionism’s theoretical underpinnings reside in Friedrich Nietzsche’s (1844-1900) philosophy and in Wilhelm Worringer’s (1881-1965) Abstraktion und Einfühlung (Abstraction and Empathy, 1908). In expressionist works, emotions and tensions were depicted with the help of symbolic color and lines in the belief that both carry their own innate expressive meaning and have psychological and spiritual effects—a strand of thinking pursued by Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944) in his 1911 book Concerning the Spiritual in Art (Gordon, 1987).

Definition Of

Orientalism is the sociological, historical, cultural, and anthropological study of the Orient, with "the Orient" constituting countries East of "the Occident" (Western Europe), and including lands spanning from Morocco to Japan. The term Orientalism, however, is primarily used to describe the incorporation of Eastern culture in Western art, literature, and design during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Artists whose work largely focused on Oriental subjects are often referred to as the Orientalists, and include Eugène Delacroix, Alphonse Etienne Dinet, Jean-Léon Gérôme, William Holman-Hunt, John Frederick Lewis, and the photographers Lehnert and Landrock. Traces of Oriental themes can also be found in the work of 20th-century artists including Henri Matisse, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Wassily Kandinsky. Orientalist artists predominantly depicted scenes of the Arabian Desert, portraits of natives with Oriental artefacts and clothing, the harem, odalisques, and Oriental architecture. Broadly speaking, the Orientalists represented the Orient as primitive yet opulent, and in stark contrast to the "rational" and enlightened West. Much of the scholarship around (and the very definition) of Orientalism in the 20th century is indebted to Said’s Orientalism (1977), which discusses why the West has preconceived notions of the Orient (and primarily the peoples of the Middle East).
