Halfsheet vintage
exhibition poster from 1986 for the San Diego Museum of Art, featuring the work of German artist Oskar Schlemmer.
The poster depicts Schlemmer himself dressed as "The Turk" (also known as the "Turkish Dancer" or "Tambourine Dancer") from his avant-garde performance, the Triadisches Ballett (Triadic Ballet).
Key Details of the Image:
The Subject: Oskar Schlemmer (1888–1943), a key figure of the Bauhaus movement, who was a painter, sculptor, and choreographer known for merging art and theater.
The Costume: This specific sculptural costume premiered with the ballet in Stuttgart in 1922. It is one of 18 unique "figurines" designed for the performance, which focused on geometric shapes and the three dimensions of space.
The Exhibition: The poster advertises an exhibition held at the San Diego Museum of Art from September 17 to October 12, 1986.
Artistic Significance:
The Triadic Ballet is considered the most widely performed avant-garde dance of the 1920s. Schlemmer's designs were intended to transform the human body into a "moving sculpture," emphasizing geometric forms like spheres, cones, and cylinders over traditional fluid dance movements.
