'I am a painter.' 'Kandinsky and Klee in Tunisia' sets the scene for Klee's breakthrough with a close study of the parallel voyage undertaken in 1904-5 by Wassily Kandinsky and Gabriele MuÌnter, who would later become Klee's friends. This artist couple, then at an early stage in their celebrated careers, produced a rich body of painting and photography known only to specialists. Paul Klee's 1914 trip with August Macke and Louis Moilliet, in contrast, is a vaunted convergence of Cubism and the exotic. Roger Benjamin refigures these two seminal voyages in terms of colonial culture and politics, the fabric of ancient Tunisian cities, visual ethnography, and the tourist photograph. The book looks closely at the cities of Tunis, Sousse, Hammamet, and Kairouan to flesh out a profound confrontation between European high modernism and the wealth of Islamic lifeways and architecture. Kandinsky and Klee in Tunisia offers a new understanding of how the European avant-garde was formed in dialogue with cultural difference"--Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Kandinsky, Wassily, $d 1866-1944 $x Travel $z Tunisia. 600 10 $a Klee, Paul, $d 1879-1940 $x Travel $z Tunisia. 650 0 $a Modernism (Art) $z Europe $x African influences. 650 0 $a Art, Modern $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Tunisia $x In art. 600 17 $a Kandinsky, Wassily, $d 1866-1944. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00036338 600 17 $a Klee, Paul, $d 1879-1940. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00041225 650 7 $a Art, Modern. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00816615 650 7 $a Modernism (Art) $x African influences. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01765304 650 7 $a Travel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155558 651 7 $a Europe. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245064 651 7 $a Tunisia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205477 648 7 $a 1900 - 1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423702 700 1 $a Ashjian, Cristina, $e author. 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211024716.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826035256.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20160518010734.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0FDFDA4281F911E58D57CB8FDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
