Hans Arp (1886-1966) and Sophie Taeuber-Arp (1889-1943) are among the most remarkable artists of the twentieth century.

Since 1977 the Stiftung Arp e.V. has overseen the greater part of both artists’ estates. It holds one of the most comprehensive collections of their work and manages most of their written and photographic archives. The Foundation also has an extensive research library, which holds primary literature and catalogues of the work of Sophie Taeuber-Arp and Hans Arp as well as many publications of their broader artistic and cultural context. . . . → En lire plus

Disegno has received great attention from art-historical scholarship for several decades now. Its significance for the art of the Italian Renaissance and for the system of the arts right up to the modern era is indisputable. But artistic developments outside the sphere of disegno easily escape our notice. This is particularly true of independent or finished drawings. Thus it was barely registered that independent drawings were produced in large numbers in Germany after 1500, but remained the exception in Italy.

Programmed alongside the exhibition ‘Object Lessons’ in Gallery 4, this conference considers the relationship between sculpture and the production of knowledge in the nineteenth century. In the early nineteenth-century publications such as Elizabeth Mayo’s ‘Lessons on Objects’ (1830) (held in our Research Library collection) gained traction in Britain, North America and India as guides to an approach to education developed by Swiss educationalist Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi (1746-1827) that advocated exposure to concrete objects to develop abstract thought.

Prior to the eighteenth century, ‘art’ and ‘science’ were often considered complementary, rather than opposite, expressions of human culture. They enlightened one another: through comparable curiosity, knowledge and observation of the world, but also in their resulting products: paintings, prints, books, maps, anatomical preservations, life casts, and many others.

Ils servent d’une part à la création d’une seconde œuvre d’art, que ce soit une estampe, une peinture ou autre. Ils sont donc un moyen de contrôle du processus de création.
