After receiving his doctorate in geology, Per Kirkeby (born 1938) turned his attention to visual art. His experiences during various expeditions to the far north are reflected in his artistic work. Polar breezes and the gentle lapping of waves seem to permeate his paintings, drawings, watercolors and prints as well as his sculptures, stage designs, films, structures and literary works. This volume explores the range of Kirkeby's thought and creative output: the subtle color palette of his painting; the structural design of his brick buildings; the scrutiny of his vision, which is discernible in his sculptures and prints. His universal expressiveness radiates the fascination that is characteristic of explorers.

Serge Poliakoff

Nils Ohlsen

Serge Poliakoff was famous as a master of the École de Paris in the 1950s and 60s. His works, equally rooted in the colorfulness of Orphism and the constructive tension of Cubism, represent to this day the triumph of abstract art in the western world afterm World War II. German text. Serge Poliakoff war als Meister der École de Paris in den 50er und 60er Jahren weltberuehmt. Seine gleichermaáen in der Farbigkeit des Orphismus wie der konstruktiven Spannung des Kubismus verwurzelten Werke stehen bis heute stellvertretend fuer den Siegeszug der Abstraktion in der westlichen Welt nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg.
