Karl GerstnerKarl Gerstner hat als visueller Gestalter ein Doppelleben gefhrt: als Grafikdesigner in fremdem und als Knstler in eigenem Auftrag. Im Bereich des Konstruktiven ist Gerstners Werk einzigartig.

Karl Gerstner hat als visueller Gestalter ein Doppelleben geführt: als Grafikdesigner in fremdem und als Künstler in eigenem Auftrag. Im Bereich des Konstruktiven ist Gerstners Werk einzigartig. Nie hat er Bilder im üblichen Sinne entworfen, sondern Algorithmen, das heißt Operatoren, aus denen sich - sozusagen selbstständig - stets weitere Möglichkeiten entwickelten. Eugen Gomringer nennt ihn »den vielleicht umfassendsten Systematiker der heutigen Kunst.« Nach Gerstners Analyse von Marcel Duchamps letztem Gemälde Tu m' und seinem Rückblick auf 5 x 10 Jahre Graphik Design etc. erscheint nun bei Hatje Cantz ein Rückblick auf sieben Kapitel konstruktive Bilder. Etc. In Einzelkapiteln zeigt und beschreibt Gerstner je eine Bilderfindung und spannt damit einen Bogen über seine nunmehr 50-jährige Tätigkeit als freier Künstler - beginnend mit den frühen »seriellen Bildern« der fünfziger Jahre, Partizipationsobjekte, die den Betrachter als Mitgestalter einbeziehen, über die »color forms«, die auf der Basis eines von Gerstner entwickelten Farben-Formen-Modells entstanden sind, bis hin zu jüngsten Arbeiten, in denen Gerstner Grundprinzipien der fraktalen Geometrie in Bilder umsetzt. (Englische Ausgabe ISBN 978-3-7757-9151-9) Zum Künstler: Karl Gerstner, *1930 in Basel, hat als Grafikdesigner wie als Künstler internationale Anerkennung gefunden. Zahlreiche Einzel- und Gruppenausstellungen im In- und Ausland, darunter 1964 und 1968 Teilnahme an der documenta in Kassel, 1986 an der Biennale Venedig. Ausstellung: Haus Konstruktiv, Zürich 9.11.2003-22.2.2004

awesome
Format: Kindle
I’ve never read a book by this author before, but she knocked it out of the park! Thanks so much for thinking of us readers who are left with book hangovers and just need the next book in the series. I just downloaded the next one. I don’t normally write reviews but this author needs to be out there so everyone can find her. Great book, excellent characters and pacing. Wonderful storyline.

pleasantly surprised!

So, I’ve been on the Find Me (WITSEC) book train and trying to find a book to hold me over until the second book comes out and omg now I’m going to have to do the same for THIS book! I was drawn in from the beginning. The characters, the multi POV (which is one thing WITSEC lacks), the world building! Excellent! I love a good grovel and I think these guys are headed that way now! I can’t wait to see where the next book takes these characters! Now….what do I do while I wait?

Marvelous debut by first time author to me. The story sounds similar to many others, but is written extremely well with enough bite to give it a fresh feel. Told from different POVS, our heroine survives a traumatic event, moves to a more secure location with her mum, and begins to live. She is daring, brave and most of all, true to herself. But then......you have to get the book to find out what happens next!!!!!!

So I really enjoyed the story. It’s unbelievable in some of the torture revelations on things that did happen and things that didn’t happen. The character development was decent. Having a little more background on the MMCs would have been nice but for what it was it’s fine. I just didn’t connect with them as much as I wanted to. Lots of typos and misplaced words in the kindle version. I’ll probably read the next one. I was glad the cliff hanger was not so startling that I felt I had to dive into the next book immediately. I could stop here and be fine with not knowing what happens next. Just assuming she got away.

Unexpectedly original for a mafia book. I thought I read them all but I loved Emmy's personality. I liked her toughness and that she didn't give into the three hassholes, Ares, Hades and Vulc. Emmy and her mom were on the run for over a year when they found refuge with The Pantheon. Her mom reconnects with an old HS friend and while Emmy tries to keep to herself. Ares, Hades, and Vulc notice how different Emmy is from the girls they're used to and instantly want to get to know her and protect. But Emmy and her mom have more secrets then the boys knew and protecting her becomes a full time job. Will they get any benefits from being her bodyguards? High heat with a good storyline. Triggers of kidnapping and abuse.
