The visual art of Jan Muche (b. 1975, Herford; lives and works in Berlin) revolves around forms that bring to mind structural steelwork, giant industrial installation components, or scaffolding. His constructivist-abstract paintings and sculptures look back on steel as a symbol of industrialization and the working class, which featured in unflappably cheerful and adulatory depictions that were characteristic of the twentieth century's ideologies--Communism, Stalinism, National Socialism, actually existing Socialism. Muche's roughhewn aesthetic combines proletarian charm with the spirit of onward and upward, taking the beholder to regions not untinged by dissonance. This book, supported by the Leinemann-Stiftung für Bildung und Kunst, brings his reflections on the significance of work and the impact of digital technology on physical toil as well as his engagement with yesteryear's \"heroes of labor\" into focus. Jan Muche trained as lithographer and studied with Karl Horst Hödicke at the Hochschule der Künste Berlin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christoph Tannert,Baumann Guenter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3969120020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783969120026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e DCV\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/25\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.00h x 9.60w x 0.60d","brand":"Christoph Tannert","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48446446436607,"sku":"9783969120026","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0d7396f7-313c-409b-b761-c1e55b13e8ff.jpg?v=1777224689","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jan-muche-christoph-tannert-9783969120026","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
