Over a career spanning five decades, Knifer developed a singularly restrained practice focusing on the variation of a single visual motif: the meander. Knifer's meanders have been interpreted differently depending on the period in which they appeared: first in the context of geometric abstraction and neo-constructivism of the \"New Tendencies\" of the 1960s. Today, they are more often understood as a gesture of resistance, with their asceticism and interest in the absurdism of anti-art and the neo avant-garde. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book focuses on a group of collages, produced in the late 1950s and early 1960s, that illustrates the development of the meander motif at a pivotal moment in Knifer's career.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julije Knifer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0991660862\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780991660865\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osmos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.40h x 7.50w x 0.70d","brand":"Julije Knifer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43995329528063,"sku":"9780991660865","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_153d66a8-f286-4b6b-a834-c536be9a53eb.jpg?v=1683335208","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/julije-knifer-julije-knifer-9780991660865","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
