Indicative of the artist's pursuit to break down the conventional boundaries between the applied and fine arts, the work defies easy categorization. Its stylized features--a single eye, a long trapezoidal nose, delicately beaded \"earrings\"--hint at the artist's interests in modernist abstraction and in the stuff of everyday life. A dancer, designer, puppet maker, sculptor and painter at the heart of the Zurich Dada movement, Taeuber-Arp made \u003ci\u003eHead\u003c\/i\u003e in the wake of World War I, during a time of profound political and cultural self-questioning. Almost a century later, her witty wooden figure has lost none of its punch as an investigation of art across aesthetic and material boundaries rather than within them. Curator Anne Umland's essay positions this intriguingly anthropomorphic work within the broader arc of Taeuber-Arp's remarkably vibrant and versatile career.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sophie Taeuber-Arp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1633450686\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781633450684\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Museum of Modern Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/23\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 7.30w x 0.30d","brand":"Sophie Taeuber-Arp","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043374231807,"sku":"9781633450684","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f45480d3-187f-45b5-bf90-d490360de80c.jpg?v=1684966791","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sophie-taeuber-arp-sophie-taeuber-arp-9781633450684","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
