Kranz, Kurt. (1910-1997) [Indiana, Robert. (1928-2018)] . Signed Exhibition Invitation.
Original trifold invitation for an exhibition of works by the German artist that opened at Goethe House in New York on November 2, 1974. Kranz has signed in blue ink, beneath full color reproductions of eight of his form sequences. From the collection of Pop artist Robert Indiana. In fine condition. Each panel 8.5 x 5.75 inches.
"Bauhaus student Kurt Kranz was a painter, illustrator, graphic artist, typographer, exhibition designer, inventor, programmer, pedagogue, and experimental filmmaker—an explorer of form and color in motion. By combining art, science, and pedagogy, he pursued the interdisciplinary approach of the Bauhaus throughout his life. His research focus was the form—as something changing, something dynamic. 'My relationship to form was open from the beginning,' he wrote. 'I was interested in change, where from and where to?' At first, film seemed an ideal medium for his artistic approach to transforming and varying forms: 'Where does this thing come from? There it is now. Where will it go? And that’s cinematic thinking.' He arrived at the Bauhaus in 1930 with the explicit aim of transforming his previous form sequences (Formreihen), executed as lithographs, into film. Unfortunately, he was unable to realize this project before the Bauhaus was shut down in 1933. Only after his retirement from teaching in 1972, did he return to this long held ambition."
