An international overview of the state of our contemporary knowledge in sociocultural psychology - as a discipline located at the crossroads between the natural and social sciences and the humanities. Since the 1980s, the field of psychology has encountered the growth of a new discipline - cultural psychology - that has built new connections between psychology, sociology, anthropology, history and semiotics. The handbook integrates contributions of sociocultural specialists from fifteen countries, all tied together by the unifying focus on the role of sign systems in human relations with the environment. It emphasizes theoretical and methodological discussions on the cultural nature of human psychological phenomena, moving on to show how meaning is a natural feature of action and how it eventually produces conventional symbols for communication. Such symbols shape individual experiences and create the conditions for consciousness and the self to emerge; turn social norms into ethics; and set history into motion.

Briefe, Aufzeichnungen und Aphorismen

The Blaue Reiter (Blue Rider) art movement was founded in 1911, by the young painters Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc, and remained active in Europe until 1914. Originally published in Munich, in 1912, and edited by Kandinsky and Marc, The Blaue Reiter Almanac presented the movement's synthesis of international culture to the European avant-garde at large. In both the selection of the essays and its innovative interplay of word and image, the Almanac remains one of the most critically important works on artistic theory and culture of the twentieth century. This edition, long unavailable in English and indispensable to any student of modernism, includes the original documents and musical notations, as well as essays by Kandinsky, Schonberg, Marc, and others, and an extensive critical introduction, placing the Blaue Reiter in context for contemporary readers.

This book presents an overview of the artist's career, giving particular emphasis to the symbolic and iconographic content of Marc's work. It reveals the substance underlying Marc's vision of a world populated almost solely by animals.

Animal expressions: Franz Marc's search for a universal art Franz Marc (1880-1916) became known principally for his images of animals: blue horses, yellow tigers, red fawns. What was it that led him to concentrate on painting animals? Marc himself explained his choice of subject matter in these words: "From an early date I felt humankind to be 'ugly'; animals seemed to me possessed of a greater beauty and purity..." Seeing Marc merely as a painter of animals proves, however, premature. Marc, cofounder of the Blauer Reiter group of Expressionist artists, was deeply dissatisfied with the impurity of the world, and was on a quest for a universal art which would resolve the contrarieties of life in the harmony of creation. Using pure colors highly charged with symbolic values, adopting crystalline shapes, and absorbing the influence of Cubism, he moved steadily towards an abstract order of image, coming closer to his own understanding of a better world. At the age of 36, Franz Marc's life was cut short when he died in the Battle of Verdun.

Condemned by the Nazis as a degenerate artist, Franz Marc (1880-1916) was a German painter whose stark linearity and emotive use of color eloquently expressed the pain and trauma of war. In work such as his celebrated Fate of the Animals, Marc created a raw emotional expression of primitive violence which he called a premonition of the war which would eventually be the cause of his own untimely death at the age of 36.

Franz Marc (1880-1916)

Franz Marc (1880-1916), bedeutender Künstler des deutschen Expressionismus und später von den Nationalsozialisten als entartet gebrandmarkt, war nicht nur ein enger Freund Wassily Kandinskys, sondern auch Mitbegründer des Künstleralmanachs Der Blaue Reiter„. In der Überwindung einer auf die Naturwahrnehmung begrenzten Kunst entwickelte Marc eine ihm einzigartige, emotionale Farb- und Formensprache, in der er die traumatischen und schmerzhaften Erinnerungen des Krieges verarbeitete. Der Ausdruck primitiver Gewalt in seinen Werken wie Tierschicksal erscheint rückblickend für Marc wie eine Vorahnung dieses Krieges„, der schließlich sein Leben bereits im Alter von 36 Jahren beenden sollte. Entdecken Sie zusammen mit Klaus H. Carl das Leben und Werk eines der herausragendsten deutschen Künstler des 20. Jahrhunderts.
