Sinopsis

In 'What Is Art? & Wherein Is Truth in Art?', Leo Tolstoy embarks on a profound exploration of aesthetics, challenging conventional definitions of art and its intrinsic value. This rich philosophical discourse blends personal reflection with moral imperatives, culminating in a vision of art that transcends mere beauty to embrace a deeper ethical truth. Tolstoy's literary style is marked by clarity and simplicity, echoing his belief that true art should be accessible to all. Contextually, this work arises from his disillusionment with the art of his time, questioning the societal functions of artistic expression and the artist's moral responsibility. Tolstoy, a titan of literature, drew upon his own tumultuous experiences, including his spiritual crisis and commitment to social justice, to inform his meditations on art. His legacy as a novelist and philosopher is intricately woven into his writings, as he sought to reconcile beauty with ethics, championing art that unites humanity in shared feelings and truths. This quest for understanding reflects his broader existential inquiries, making his insights particularly poignant. This indispensable treatise is recommended for anyone intrigued by the philosophical dimensions of art. It invites readers to reconsider their relationship with artistic expression and the values it embodies, offering a transformative perspective that resonates beyond the confines of its time.

    The Bauhaus movement (meaning the “house of building”) developed in three German cities - it began in Weimar between 1919 and 1925, then continued in Dessau, from 1925 to 1932, and finally ended in 1932-1933 in Berlin. Three leaders presided over the growth of the movement: Walter Gropius, from 1919 to 1928, Hannes Meyer, from 1928 to 1930, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, from 1930 to 1933. Founded by Gropius in the rather conservative city of Weimar, the new capital of Germany, which had just been defeated by the other European nations in the First World War, the movement became a flamboyant response to this humiliation. Combining new styles in architecture, design, and painting, the Bauhaus aspired to be an expression of a generational utopia, striving to free artists facing a society that remained conservative in spite of the revolutionary efforts of the post-war period.
    Using the most modern materials, the Bauhaus was born out of the precepts of William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement, introducing new forms, inspired by the most ordinary of objects, into everyday life. The shuttering of the center in Berlin by the Nazis in 1933 did not put an end to the movement, since many of its members chose the path of exile and established themselves in the United States. Although they all went in different directions artistically, their work shared the same origin. The most influential among the Bauhaus artists were Anni Albers, Josef Albers, Marianne Brandt, Marcel Breuer, Lyonel Feininger, Ludwig Hilberseimer, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandisky, and Lothar Schreyer. Through a series of beautiful reproductions, this work provides an overview of the Bauhaus era, including the history, influence, and major figures of this revolutionary movement, which turned everyday life into art.
