Line and Sculpture in Dialogue

The line is a central theme in 20th century sculpture. On the basis of over 50 masterpieces from the first class art collection of the Kasser/Mochary Family Foundation, this book provides an enlightening perspective on the art of Modernsim and its development towards abstraction by juxtaposing sculpture and graphic art. This focus on line leads to an often surprising view.
The aim of finding a figure in a single line defined the graphic work of subsequent generations of artists. Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Henri Matisse, Paul Gauguin, Giorgio de Chirico, László Moholy-Nagy, Alberto Giacometti, Alexander Archipenko and other zealously experimented with lines as formative elements in their sculptures and drawings.
