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\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osmos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/13\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780991660865\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186","brand":"Julije Knifer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42289506713781,"sku":"9780991660865","price":55.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_9f82caf0-af05-44bc-9d7b-3cd82561c8e5.jpg?v=1658200675","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/julije-knifer-collages-for-meanders-9780991660865","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
