The pioneering journal sought out the newest ideas by the most creative practitioners in all of the visual arts--architecture  graphics  typography  sculpture  ceramics  glass  and theatrical design--and then reproduced them in sumptuous  hand-bound editions of unparalleled beauty. Over its fourteen-year history  Wendingen  which translates roughly as \"upheaval \" featured the work of such diverse artists as Gustav Klimt  Josef Hoffmann  Eileen Gray  and Erich Mendelsohn. It introduced the work of Frank Lloyd Wright to European audiences in a series of seven issues published in 1925 and 1926. But it is best known for its covers  ranging in style from the art nouveau to the constructivist to the art deco  all of which are reproduced here in color. In this first comprehensive study of this extraordinary magazine  Le Coultre gives students  scholars  and collectors access to this now scarce magazine. He also calls long-overdue attention to the role of Wendingens founding editor  Hendricus Theodorus Wijedveld  in shaping the course of modern design.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45789528326197,"sku":"ByrdShop_1568982763","price":87.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781568982762.jpg?v=1784693184","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/wendingen-a-journal-for-the-arts-19181932-9781568982762","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
