Description
With the archive of the art teacher Eva Eyquem (1915-2009), who was a student of Johannes Itten in Berlin from 1932 to 1934, the Chair of Art Education at FAU has had an extensive collection of image and text material, as well as video and audio recordings, since 1994, which documents her activities between 1972 and 1999 in Nuremberg. Based on her experience in the field of art studies and aesthetics at the University of Paris I, Eyquem taught in Nuremberg in cooperation with the Art Education Center in the German National Museum Nürnberg and other educational institutions in various areas of aesthetic practice and theory.
In the run-up to the Bauhaus anniversary, the Chair of Art Education organized a symposium on Eva Eyquem in 2018, which was intended to shed light on her work in the context of Bauhaus education. With lectures by international scholars, the focus of the conference was on Johannes Itten's art education, its roots in reform education (Rainer K. Wick) as well as on Eyquem's role as a key figure in Itten's reception in Japan (Yoshimasa Kaneko) and on the importance of her work as an extension and continuation of Itten's design theory (Sabine Richter). The conference volume with selected lectures is supplemented by a second part with writings and interviews in which Eva Eyquem expresses herself on the basic lines of her pedagogy and discusses her art pedagogy, which is based on principles of contemporary art
