nTracing the development of Taeuber-Arps kinaesthetic formal sensibility across her short but bounteous careern nEdited with an essay by art historian Briony Fer, The Rule of Curves examines the work of leading 20th-century artist and designer Sophie Taeuber-Arp. Taeuber-Arp de?ed categorization during her brief career through her work as a painter, sculptor, architect, performer, choreographer, teacher, writer and designer of textiles, stage sets and interiors. Reconciling extremes with con?dence--Dada and Geometric Abstraction, ?ne art and utilitarian objects--Taeuber-Arps works boldly engaged with the intellectual context of international modernism. nThis bilingual clothbound volume is thematically driven, focusing on the formal logic that drove her innovative and wide-ranging creative production while revealing how working between mediums both expanded and crystallized her aesthetic. It particularly traces Taeuber-Arps incorporation of curves into her geometric abstractions--a motif that elaborated upon Jean (Hans) Arps biomorphic visual language. Alongside Fers new critical insights into Taeuber-Arps work, an essay by scholar Jenny Nachtigall explores the artists environments and how notions of gravity, motion and the cinematic offer keys to understanding the artists kinaesthetic sensibility. nSophie Taeuber-Arp (1889-1943) began her applied arts practice in Zurich, where she also taught textile design and participated in the Dada movement. Starting in the late 1920s, Taeuber-Arp completed several architectural and interior design projects, most significantly the Aubette entertainment complex in Strasbourg. When she moved to Paris in 1929, she turned her attention to abstract paintings and painted wood reliefs.n
