Over a career spanning five decades, Knifer developed a singularly restrained practice focusing on the variation of a single visual motif: the meander. Knifer's meanders have been interpreted differently depending on the period in which they appeared: first in the context of geometric abstraction and neo-constructivism of the “New Tendencies” of the 1960s. Today, they are more often understood as a gesture of resistance, with their asceticism and interest in the absurdism of anti-art and the neo avant-garde.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis book focuses on a group of collages, produced in the late 1950s and early 1960s, that illustrates the development of the meander motif at a pivotal moment in Knifer's career.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ARTBOOK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54966278389973,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/3853\/6405\/files\/julije-knifer-collages-for-meanders-103.jpg?v=1789673756","url":"https:\/\/brendafridaydesign.com\/products\/julijie-knifer-collages-for-meanders","provider":"Shoppe B x Brenda Friday Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
