Hardcover with dust jacket. Etat : Gut. XXV, 235 p.: Ill. Schutzumschlag leicht berieben und Einband etwas angeschmutzt, sonst ein sehr gutes und sauberes Exemplar ohne Anstreichungen / Dust jacket slightly rubbed and cover a bit stained, otherwise a very good and clean copy without markings. - This comprehensive view of the Orpheus myth in modern art focuses on an extremely rich artistic symbol, cutting through all the clich�s to explore truly significant problems of meaning. The author takes a new approach to the iconography of major modern artists by incorporating psychological and literary analysis, as well as biography. Her study demonstrates the power and vitality of ancient myth to provide inspiration today and to reveal basic truths about the human condition and the artist's conception of those truths. The psychological bonds proposed here between the ancient singer/poet Orpheus and the twentieth-century artist help to corroborate Freud's and Jung's use of myth as a key to the continuity in the unconscious from primitive to modern humanity. The three parts of this book explore the ways in which artists have identified with different aspects of the often paradoxical Orpheus myth. The first deals with artists such as Paul Klee, Carl Milles, and Barbara Hepworth, who identify with Orpheus's powers of metamorphosis, equated with the artist's ability to transform a harsh and corrupt reality through powers of imagination into an ideal world of beauty, feeling, and truth. The second part shows a more critical view of Orpheus as an overly emotional, unrealistic, and helpless dreamer, reflecting the modern artist's acknowledgment of feelings of inadequacy and lack of control over self and environment. Max Beckmann, Oskar Kokoschka, and Isamu Noguchi are discussed. The final part considers the significance of death and suffering in the Orpheus myth and its appeal to twentieth-century artists obsessed with death, seeking reassurance of the continuity of existence and of liberation from time and guilt. Artists examined are Pablo Picasso, Jacques Lipchitz, Ethel Schwabacher, and Cy Twombly. The text, accompanied by 61 illustrations and a select bibliography, will be of great interest to serious students of modern art, the psychology of art, or current cultural inquiry. / Contents Plates Foreword Peter Selz Preface Introduction Part One.
