Description
Die Klassik Stiftung Weimar nimmt den 150. Geburtstag des belgischen Architekten und Designers Henry van de Velde zum Anlass, den 'Alleskünstler' und seine Wirkungsstätten in Weimar vorzustellen. Van de Velde kam 1902 als künstlerischer Berater des Großherzogs Wilhelm Ernst nach Weimar, wo er die Kunstgewerbeschule gründete und bis zu seiner Abreise 1917 viele der wichtigsten Werke seines umfassenden OEuvres schuf. In souveräner Überwindung aller Traditionen ignorierte van de Velde die Grenzen zwischen 'Kunst' und 'Kunsthandwerk'. Dabei blieb er seiner Überzeugung treu, die Gestaltung eines Gegenstands sei umso vollkommener, je exakter sie dessen Zweck entspräche. Acht Autoren beleuchten in zehn Beiträgen das Spektrum seines Wirkens von 1890 bis Ende der 1930er Jahre. In Wort und Bild präsentiert das vorliegende opulent bebilderte Buch Architekturentwürfe und über 500 prägnante Beispiele von Henry van de Veldes kunstgewerblichen Kreationen - Möbel, Metall, Textil.
