| book description |
It is an undisputable fact that light has been one of the most essential themes of art since time immortal. From Leonardo's gentle sfumato to Caravaggio's dramatic chiaroscuro, from the invention of photography in the first third of the 19th century to the all but scientific investigation of the painterly effects of light on the part of the Impressionists and the experimental photograms by avant-garde artists such as Man Ray and Laszlo Mo- holy-Nagy in the 1920s: for centuries, light has always been for many artists not only a source of fascination, but also and especially a mystery. Artist personalities such as Olafur Eliasson and Mischa Kuball, Keith Sonnier and Joseph Kosuth, as well as Martin Creed and Tracey Emin are all prime examples for dozens of artists around the world, who make use of light in all its many facets. OFF/ON tells the story of light art from its inception to the present day - with a special focus on the future of the medium, exemplified by the new International Light Art Award, which was presented for the first time in 2015 by the Centre for International Light Art in Unna.
