Erwin Eisch kam 1962 mit der amerikanischen Studioglasbewegung in Kontakt und etablierte - als Vorreiter dieser Bewegung in Europa - Glas als Kunstmedium. Im Kontext der Kunstbewegungen der Vor-1968er und der Debatten der Münchner Szene um 1960 setzte der Künstler Glas als Medium des künstlerischen Ausdrucks ein und erweiterte zugleich die Inhalte und Möglichkeiten für Malerei und Bildhauerei. Der farbenprächtige Band besticht durch eindrucksvolle Bilder. Neben Kunsthistorikern und Wegbegleitern aus Deutschland, England und den USA kommt auch der Künstler selbst anhand ausgewählter Schriften, Reden und Aussagen zu Wort. Ein umfassender Bildteil macht das Werk erstmals in seiner Breite und seinen vielfältigen Querverbindungen zugänglich.

Summary

This book provides an introduction to the artist, from his development within the glass-making tradition of the Bavarian Forest to the present. Eisch began with functional vessels, including bottles, vases and steins, often distorting the hot glass, incorporating ceramic moulds and producing painted glass sculptures. Eisch uses glass, painting, drawing and printed graphics to overcome the borders between picture and sculpture. His later output includes drawings, paintings and prints. Eisch’s works incorporate vivid elements of imagination and fantasy, which supplement the reality that inspires him. This book includes essays, contributions by experts on his work, more than one hundred illustrations of Eisch’s work, and selected writings by the artist himself.Corning, New York CorningMuseum of Glass15. 3. 2012 – 3. 2. 2013www.cmog.orgErwin Eisch · Clouds have been my footholdall along – Glass and PaintingsThe first comprehensivemonograph, richly illustratedPioneer of the internationalStudio Glass MovementChallenges the boundariesbetween art formsDIN A4
