Free Download Michael Cowan, "Walter Ruttmann and the Cinema of Multiplicity: Avant-Garde Film – Advertising – Modernity "
English | ISBN: 9089645853 | 2014 | 260 pages | PDF | 4 MB
-Winner of the Willy Haas Award for best book on German cinema-Finalist for the Kraszna-Krausz Award in the category of Moving Image-Honourable mention in the BAFFTS Books Prize. In this award-winning study, Michael Cowan reframes our understanding of early avant-garde film by probing the career of one of its towering figures. Walter Ruttmann was a pioneer of both experimental and documentary film, but also active in advertising and-after 1933-Nazi propaganda. Examining Ruttmann’s work as a whole, Cowan’s book reevaluates experimental film culture by probing the links between abstraction, montage and modes of governmentality that were crucial to mass modernity in both its democratic and fascist variants.

Free Download Min’an Wang, "The Emergence of Chinese Avant-Garde Art"
English | ISBN: 9819761395 | 2024 | 143 pages | EPUB | 309 KB
This book provides a historical analysis of the avant-garde art movement in China in the 1980s. This art movement is the product of China’s reform and opening up, during which time a small number of Chinese artists understood the western modernist art movement, and they started their avant-garde art experiment in combination with the actual situation of China. This avant-garde art experiment completely broke all the artistic styles in Chinese history, and it caused a huge shock. After about a decade of radical attempts, it began to form its own position in China. This book discusses its birth background, its dominant artists and works, its theme and interest, and its final decline. This is not only a work of art history, but also a work of cultural history with strong sociological analysis. This book is beautiful in writing, detailed in analysis and highly readable. It is a very suitable book for those who want to know avant-garde art and Chinese since the 1980s.

English | ISBN: 1032532645 | 2023 | 254 pages | EPUB, PDF | 7 MB + 15 MB
Avant-Garde and Psychotechnics presents an innovative look at the Russian avant-garde and its cultural encounters with the sciences in the 1920s. The book examines some of the lesser known entanglements between architects, filmmakers and philosophers, on the one hand, and experimental psychologists and physiologists on the other. In Russia, famous avant-garde artists, such as El Lissitzky, Vassily Kandinsky and Dziga Vertov, helped propagate a movement referred to as "psychotechnics" that was emerging at the time in Germany and the United States and eventually led to a "psychotechnical boom." At the end of the story told in the book, it becomes clear that this boom continues to the present day. By analyzing concrete projects undertaken by Russian artists and scientists in cooperation with one another, and by drawing on as-yet-unpublished archival material,
