Hand signed and numbered from edition of 90
Jakob Weder, (Switzerland, 1906-1990) Swiss color/music kinetic artist. known for his oil and tempera painting and silkscreen serigraph and lithograph prints.
The master of the color organ and his rediscovered figures
Samuel Gerber, who, with the Jakob Weder-Haus in Herzogenbuchsee, has wanted to keep alive the memory of the artist's work for many years, has brought back Weder's figures in the truest sense of the word. In his commission the artist Reto Bärtschi has faithfully restored these in lavish work. Bruno Frangi, as the author of the present volume, set out to search for traces and traced the sculptor's life of Jakob Weder. The photographer Christian Gerber took the restored works in the studio, skilfully staged them and thus created a suitable ambience for the figures.
Whereas the debate about associations between music and painting and between colors and sounds abound prior to World War I with irrational, theosophically influenced ideas, Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Johannes Itten, and others in the Bauhaus movement subsequently sought teachable and learnable methods for setting painting in relation to music. The constructivists
were also in dialogue with music, even if their works — at least among recipients who relate music to different moods — awaken little in the way of musical associations. El Lissitzky, Lyubov Sergeyevna Popova, and Alexander Rodchenko, for example, saw harmony, rhythm, and melody as exact truths because their construction is based on laws that can be identified and verified just the same as in music. The development was similar in De Stijl both van Doesburg and Piet Mondrian dealt intensively with dance. Mondrian shared his enthusiasm for jazz with Man Ray and Henri Matisse. These artists, while giving titles evoking this musical style to their work, did not
necessarily claim structural links to jazz, but only declared their commitment to experimentation, the city, the rupture with convention. Positions became even more diverse in the second half of the century (e.g., representedby Jakob Weder, Jack Ox, Robert Strüblin), it is notable that they still often focused on the so-called classicists of music history — Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven.
