Brandon Taylor Reihenfolge der Bücher

Was kommt nach den Träumen? Es ist ein Jahr des Aufbruchs: Seamus, Fyodor, Iwan, Noah und Fatima bleibt nicht mehr viel Zeit, um über ihre Zukunft zu entscheiden. In ihrem letzten Jahr in Iowa City, einer verschlafenen Universitätsstadt im Mittleren Westen, fragen die Liebenden und Freunde sich: Worauf setzt man im Leben? Arbeit, Liebe, Geld, Tanz, Poesie? Und wie sieht wahre Verbundenheit in einer Zeit des Umbruchs und der Krisen aus? Feinfühlig und unerschrocken erzählt Brandon Taylor von Freundschaft und radikaler Selbstoffenbarung, Herkunft und Ambition – und erweist sich erneut als exzellenter Chronist unserer Gegenwart. »Brandon Taylor verfügt über ein Feingefühl, so unerschöpflich und elegant, wie wir es nur von Klassikern kennen, und schreibt zugleich geschliffen scharf über die Gegenwart.« Emma Cline »Scharfsinnig, intim, urkomisch, ergreifend ... Ein großartig geschriebener Roman über die Verheißung der Jugend, die Suche nach Seelenverwandten und der eigenen Berufung.« Oprah Daily »Taylor hat das Talent, unseren schnöde dahinsurrenden Alltag in Poesie zu verwandeln.« The New York Times Book Review »Taylors Romane sind so groß, dass sie die ganze Welt enthalten.« Esquire

A fascinating journey through Western art from the 1910s to the 1960s, charting how artists wrestled with the headlong changes of a turbulent and conflict-ridden world

A hotly charged new work of fiction from the Booker Prize shortlisted author of Real Life.

What is form in modern art? How could a work of art achieve its organic life in a world increasingly dominated by mechanism, by new technology? In this new book, Brandon Taylor proposes that biology and the life sciences themselves supplied many of the analogies and metaphors by which modern artists were guided. For the creative giants of the period - Picasso, Miró, Kandinsky, Strzeminski, Dalí, Arp, Motherwell and Pollock, as well as less-known figures such as Taeuber, Erni and Kobro - questions of 'living' form loomed large in studio conversation, in the press, and in the writings of the artists themselves.In a book rich in new research and fresh thinking, a well-known art historian proposes six modalities of organic and vital life that pervade the radical experiments of modern the organic , the biomorphic , the ambiguous , the monstrous , the dialectical , and the liquid .

A comprehensive history of collage theory and practice describes Picasso's formation of the modern art form in 1908, its applications by progressive artists, its variations, and numerous significant pieces that marked the genre's evolution throughout the twentieth century.
