Exhibition on the occasion of the Games of the XXth Olympiad Munich 1972

Bruckmann Publishers Munich

Note:

The webpage is an initiative to give access to a material, worth to be mentioned for its contents and for its historical value (says artgraphic-db); it was the catalogue of the above mentioned exhibition, containing contributions about art under the topic of cultures encountering (referring to the Olympics symbolic of people encountering).

To the knowledge of artgraphic-db, the catalogue was not published on a long term period and it has been a good opportunity to get a copy that is a pleasure to share in a digital form.

It has been said the following about the publishers (in that time):

Studio Bruckmann was founded one year ago to serve as a communication center and gallery for the publishing and printing company Bruckmann Munchen; within a few months, it has become a well-known institution in Munich. .../... Renowed artists and authors are presenting their new works in Studio Bruckmann: Oskar Kokoschka, Max Bill, HAP Grieshaber, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, Victor Vasarely

Article: Art as a Universal Phenomenon

by Oto Bihalji-Merin

Art as a Universal Phenomenon

citation

Environmental awareness creates a bridge between the old accidental and the new programmed events of human existence

Marshall McLuhan (https://www.marshallmcluhan.com/)

[changing concepts in art are clearly urgently required]

Key words: Eurocentric hierarchy; interpenetration of world cultures; universalist aspect

[merger of far and near, of space and time]

[beginnings of a world climate of creative influence embracing all peoples]

Impressionism,
Post-Impressionism,
Art Nouveau,
Fauvism,
Expressionism,
Cubism,
Dadaism,
Surrealism,
Action Painting,
Art Informel

- have taken over elements or methods from:

the art of Asia
or from art which until then had been designated primitive.

[promises touristic success]

Key words: muscle and mind; Pierre de Coubertin;

[world culture]

Whereas the term "world culture" evokes mild associations with:-

world economy,
world politics,
world planning or, its opposite,
world destruction,

Civilisation and the Janus Face of Europe

citation

Our task is to realize the history of all known present and vanished cultures as a unity.

Arnold J. Toynbee (quoted from memory)

[early cultures emerged …/… along the river oases of Egypt and Mesopotamia]

Key words: Phoenician alphabet; code of King Hammurabi; Bel, the Lord of heaven and earth; Will Durant

In the first volume of his "History of Civilization" which he entitled "Our Oriental Heritage," Will Durant attributed most of the achievements of civilization to the Orient:

agriculture and commerce,
the horse and chariot,
the minting of coins and the letter of credit,
the trades and handicrafts,
laws and government,
mathematics and medicine,
drainage systems,
astronomy and geometry,
the calendar and the clock,
paper, ink, books, libraries, schools and much more besides.

[discovery of the personality]

Key words: Aristotle, Leonardo, Johann Sebastian Bach, Marcel Proust, Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein; Siemens and Krupp

Signs of the East

[new markets and power]

Key words: mythical creatures assimilation; Kufic script; Turco- Islamic; Capella Ruccelai; Günter Bandmann; world of the fantastic; Temptation of St. Antony;

[Afro-Islamic world]

Key words: bizet, Saint-Saëns, Verdi; Delacroix and Ingres, Pierre Loti, Rudyard Kipling, August Macke; Conceptual Art;

[effect on the philosophy and literature of Europe]

citation

From the object, which no longer appears oppressive to me, a tension is emitted which grows in luminosity and continues like an echo in all directions to the limits of the canvas. The lofty teaching of Turner and the spiritual message of Zen painting have come home to me.

André Masson, 1953

English scholars in a fifty-volumed work entitled "Sacred Books of the East" had drawn the attention of Europe to the mythological forms and beliefs of India.

[In China and Japan writing has always been of outstanding importance.]

Dialectic Resurrection of Totem, Fetish and Idol

[The primitive artists belong without exception to pre-industrial economic systems]

Encounter of Ancient Amerindian Cultures with Technological Civilization

citation

Until recently the fine arts employed the same means as those used by ancient man in his cave paintings - the manual means of drawing, incising, modelling, applying paint with a brush or spray technique. The computer compels art, as it were, to make the leap from the Stone Age to the Computer Age...

Herbert W. Franke

[a feeling of inferiority based on …/… the great European art styles.]

[the virtue of an unprepossessed and independent art]

[people and artist to be bridged via the simplicity of modern primitivism]

[radical art]

Key words: Action Painting to Pop Art; Conceptural Art -from Environment to Cybernetic Art-

Urasenke XV. Sohitsu Sen, Kyoto; Japanese Tea House "Kanshoan" and Japanese Garden on an island in the Eisbach, English Gardens, opposite Haus der Kunst, Munich; 1971/72.

The Teahouse and Garden was built for the Olympic Games specially for the exhibition "World Cultures and Modern Art" by the head of a family that has been famous for centuries for its cultivation of the Tea Ceremony. The whole was pre-fabricated in the workshops of the Urasenke family in the spring of this year and then erected by five Japanese carpenters within a period of two months. Not a single nail was used on the entire structure. The island on which the Tea House stands and the river bank opposite have been transformed into a Japanese garden. In the years to come the Tea Ceremony will be carried out under the supervision of a member of the Urasenke family.

Historically the Tea Ceremony can be traced back to an ancient custom of the Zen priests who drank tea to keep awake for their nocturnal exercises. The ritual was described in the thirteenth-century booklet on the "Healing Influence of Tea" by the monk Eisan. After the ceremony had been transformed almost into a purely social event by the profane fourteenth century, Sen-no Rikyu restored the rite in the sixteenth century to its ancient simplicity. The Tea Ceremony is still performed today according to the rite of Sen-no Rikyu; plates

[correct proportion as they found it in nature]

[Greco-Latin tradition]

["African proportion" ]

[artgraphic-db: african proportion: Head and trunk, the seat of the body's power and vitality, are larger than life; the legs are mere mechanically operated tools which have been given the new function of a pedestal, have been abbreviated to mere supports which are, in the literal sense of the term, powerless in the shape or curve they assume.]

[artgraphic-db:

(Cat. no. 1869) mature classicism of the Luba-Hemba kings;

(Cat. no 1875) overrefined, almost decadent mannerism of some Baule figures;

(Cat. no. 1866) fertility, the breasts and belly;

(Cat, no. 2025) pillar-style is the point of departure, as in the Sudan;

(Cat. no. 1865) Nigeria (e. g. among the Mumuye), the head is kept narrow within the diameter of the pillar.

Fang figures=large heads

Bieri figures=ancestors and children]

[Anti-Academicism]

renunciation either of beauty or of ideality ?
faint aura of manneristic elegance and elongation ?
head is not oversized (or oversized) ?
over-lengthy arms?
(arms and) the massive neck extend the trunk longitudinally?
Head, arms and parallel-held (better, parallel-bent) legs?
contrapositioning legs or exact parallelism?
breadth legs rendered into a pedestal?
Rhythm? (organic foundation?)
legs treated from the viewpoint of parallelism and of the block?
arms rigidly connected with the body?
concave arms counterpoint to the convex curve of the legs?
echoed in the slight bend of the neck?
rounded belly and depression of the ribs?
expressive rhythmic composition (instead of the careful balance of members -Greek sculpture-)?
