It's more like a biographical encyclopedia than an a monograph on the "visual style of Czech family puppet theaters, theater clubs and art scenes in the early 20th century as a unique reflection of avant-garde and modernist currents by Czech artists." In other words, the different chapters could have been better linked together. Other complaint is that some of the most interesting illustrations were way too small!, and captions should have indicated the size of the puppets.All that said, I enjoyed this book, and probably there's nothing else like it in the English language. The lathed puppets interested me the least--they tend to look like Christmas ornaments, at least in the photographs published here. I thought the book would treat more extensively the development of a modernist, aesthetic theory of marionette theater, but it comes up short. ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Czechoslovakia's unique culture of puppet theater reached a glorious apex between about 1900 and 1950, and its visual style was integral to the development of modernist and contemporary theater and animation. The Puppet and the Modern looks at this incredibly fertile phase in puppetry in Bohemia and Moravia and traces the development of stage design and stage technologies, also focusing on the connection of artists from disciplines and styles--designers, carvers, painters and scenographers--to the development of avant-garde and modernist currents in twentieth-century art. Narrated with text by scholars Marie Jir skov and Pavel Jir sek, this richly illustrated, epic (456-page) volume begins in the Art Nouveau and Symbolist eras, tracing the development of Czech puppetry through its Expressionist incarnations and on to its radical reconception and renaissance as an art during the Cubist and Art Deco epochs. A truly revelatory publication, The Puppet and the Modern includes gorgeous color photographs of individual puppets drawn from public and private Czech puppet collections and supplements them with archival images of performances, sets, sketches, posters, programs, periodicals, illustrations and caricatures.
