Schaffende Hände

Medialisierungen von künstlerischer Arbeit

»Schaffende Hände« (creative hands) is a series of cultural films in which art historian Hans Cürlis portrayed artists at work from the 1920s onward. The documentaries promise to provide an undisguised view of the creation of paintings and sculptures, making visible what is hidden from view in the finished work. Taking this interest in "creation" as its starting point, this book spans the modern period to the present day. It is dedicated to the question of how artistic work is staged, documented and didactically presented, and how the role of the artist’s hand is determined by varying relationships between mental and manual labor.
