Play of Lines

ByAnna Novakov

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
This book is the first study of Anton Ažbe’s art school in Munich’s Schwabing district and its influence on four turn-of-the century East European female painters. The Slovenian-born Ažbe (1862-1905) was an eccentric artist and teacher who directed an innovative co-educational art school from 1891 until 1905. Ažbe’s pedagogical method during these fourteen years focused on three concepts: Linienspiel (Play of Lines), Kugelprizip (Ball Principle) and Kristallisation der Farbe (Crystallization of Color). This triadic model was used to train some of the most gifted artists from Russia, Serbia and other parts of Eastern Europe. This study focuses on Ažbe and the early work of his female students: Olga Della Vos Kadoskaya (1875-1952), Yelena Makovskaya-Luksch (1878-1967) and Marianne Werefkin (1860-1938) from Russia, and Nadežda Petrović (1873-1915) from Serbia.
