Art Brut Collection: Body
This third volume (after Vehicles and Architecture) in the series titled Art Brut The Collection
accompanying the Biennales de l'Art Brut, includes only works from the Lausanne Museum,
some of which have rarely been exhibited.
The book contains a large number of drawings, paintings, photographs and sculptures,
reflecting the manifold representations of the human body in Art Brut, while paying close
attention to the intimate relationship the artists have established with their creations.
These works represent a sort of hand-to-hand combat; they are "battles" in which no quarter
is asked or given between the creator and his own image and unique personal history. For
some the body is the refuge of a complex intimacy, for others it is a prison from which to
escape or even a storehouse of energy that needs to be set free and transformed.
Rarely exhibited or published, Jean Dubuffet's prisoners' tattoos reveal how creations lying on
the margins of art's traditional subject matter held a magnetic attraction for the founder of
the concept of Art Brut, the core of the Lausanne Museum's collection. The great "classics" of
Art Brut, such as Aloise Corbaz, rub shoulders with more recent discoveries, such as Eric
Derkenne's body-faces, or the all-powerful "nuclear trans-sexuality" of Giovanni Galli. The
doubling of the self and a play of mirrors highlight the instinctive search for identity typical of
Josef Hofer and Robert Gie. Whether dismembered and fragmented in Giovanni Bosco's
work, or tightly gathered in cosmic unity in Guo Fengyi's creations, the body gives form to a
perpetual flux that art can exploit to express existential experience.

London Portrait of a City
London calling. This is a photographic journey through the history of this epic city. Samuel Johnson famously said that: "When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life." London is a vast sprawling metropolis, constantly evolving and growing, yet throughout its complex past and shifting present, the humor, unique character, and bulldog spirit of the people have stayed constant. This book salutes all those Londoners, their city, and its history. From Victorian London to the Swinging 60s; from the Battle of Britain to Punk; from the Festival of Britain to the 2012 Olympics; from the foggy cobbled streets to the architectural masterpieces of the millennium; from rough pubs to private drinking clubs; from Royal Weddings to raves, from the charm of the East End to the wonders of the Westminster; from Chelsea girls to Hoxton hipsters; from the power to glory: in page after page of stunning photographs London gets the photographic tribute it deserves.

Bauhaus
80 years after its inception, the Bauhaus style still emanates vitality. As a school that's combined applied art with both the fine arts and technology, the Bauhaus movement has outlasted all other trends in architecture and design. This volume provides insight into the historical, cultural, philosophical, political and pedagogical background of the 1930s, when the Bauhaus was founded. It portrays the famous Bauhaus directors and teachers and describes their signature pedagogical methods. Finally, the authors take readers inside individual workshops, where they can discover the unique wealth of forms and ideas that remain the hallmark of Bauhaus products. Through its contributions to current discourse on the Bauhaus as a "fixed star of the avant-garde," its wealth of pictorial material (some of which has never before been published), as well as the rich variety of topics it addresses, this book offers a comprehensive look at one of the most significant institutions in the history of modern art and culture.

Constantinople
" This impressive book reveals the inheritance of a fascinating city before the reader's eyes. Christened "Constantinople" by Constantine the Great, the city successively served as the capital of the Byzantine and Ottoman empires and commanded a key position between Occident and Orient for more than sixteen centuries. The wealth of cultural treasures that characterize the face of Constantinople today reflects this rich history. The Hagia Sophia stems from the early Christian era; the Middle Ages bequeathed us churches and monasteries rich in mosaics as well as illuminated Manuscripts and icons; and the cultural renaissance following the conquest of the city by Mehmed II in 1453 brought magnificent palaces and mosques, calligraphic treasures, and book and miniature paintings inspired by Persian and Arabic forms. The buildings of the Ottoman baroque period and nineteenth-century architecture complete the exceptional cityscape Istanbul boasts today. Richly illustrated and studded with selected literary documents, this book conveys a living experience of Constantinople in all its various aspects. "

On Beauty
On Beauty is neither a history of art, nor a history of aesthetics, but Umberto Eco draws on both these disciplines to define the ideas of beauty that have informed us from the classical world to modern times. In terms of form and style, On Beauty has been conceived for a vast and diverse readership. Packed with examples from painting, sculpture, architecture, film, photography, the decorative arts and literature, it offers a rich and intelligent panorama of this huge subject. In On Beauty Eco is at his most captivating and eclectic: we read not only of Botticelli and Michelangelo but of how much the fashion of the 1960s owes to ancient Egyptian dress, and how ancient Roman and eighteenth-century hairstyles have much in common. It makes the familiar new, and sheds a brilliant light on the unfamiliar. On Beauty is illustrated in full colour throughout and produced to the highest standards.

from the local market awaits a guest. More than a comprehensive sourcebook of decorative ideas, for anyone who dreams of living in the country or is lucky enough to live there already this is the ultimate guide to timeless rural living: beautiful, r
