Monet


Claude Monet (1840-1926) is one of the most admired and famous painters of all time, and the architect of Impressionism: a revolution that gave birth to modern art. His technique - painting out of doors, at the seashore or in the city streets - was as radically new as his subject matter, the landscapes and middle-class pastimes of a newly industrialized Paris. Painting with an unprecedented immediacy and authenticity, Monet claimed that his work was something new: both natural and true. In this new introductory study, James H. Rubin - one of the world's foremost specialists in 19th-century French art - traces the development of Monet's practice, from his early work as a caricaturist to the late paintings of waterlilies and his garden at Giverny. Rubin explores the cultural currents that helped to shape Monet's work: the utopian thought that gave rise to his politics; his interest in Japanese prints, gardening, and trends in the decorative arts; and his relationship with earlier French landscape painters as well as such contemporaries as Manet and Renoir.

Bauhaus


The aesthetic of our contemporary environment, including everything from housing developments to furniture and websites, is partly the result of a school of art and design founded in Germany in 1919, the Bauhaus. While in operation for only fourteen years before being shut down by the Nazis in 1933, the school left an indelible mark on design as well as the practice of art education throughout the world. Placing the Bauhaus into its socio-historic context, Frank Whitford traces the ideas behind the school's conception and describes its teaching methods. He examines the activities of the teachers, who included artists as eminent as Paul Klee, Josef Albers and Wassily Kandinsky, and the daily lives of the students. This remains the most accessible and highly illustrated introduction to perhaps the most significant design movement of the last hundred years.

Turner


Few British artists have ever achieved such a wide range of style in oil painting, watercolour, drawing and engraving as J. M. W. Turner. He had a precocious gift that was developed over a lifetime of experiment and innovation. This classic book in the World of Art series traces the artist's career - from youthful pictureseque views and watercolours of 'Gothic' ruins to the romantic landscape and historical compositions of his maturity, and the astonishing art of his later years. In these late paintings Turner's tragic sense of life is stated most profoundly and the work was unintelligible to his contemporaries - but his reputation as the greatest British painter now rests on our understanding of these as pioneering explorations of abstraction, prefiguring the art of the 20th century. Graham Reynolds weaves together the artist's biography with sensitive criticism of his work, through all phases of his career, in this classic work - first published in 1969 - that has long served as an outstanding introduction to Turner's life and art. It has now been revised and updated by the curator of the Turner Bequest at Tate, David Blayney Brown, to reflect recent discoveries and interpretations, and the illustrations are in full colour for the first time. It will serve as the best available study of this perennially popular artist for a new generation of readers.

Latin American Art Since 1900


In this classic survey, now updated and with full-colour images throughout, Edward Lucie-Smith introduces the art of Latin America from 1900 to the present day. He discusses in detail major figures such as Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, as well as dozens of less well-known artists. Those who spent their lives in exile, and artists from Europe and the US who lived in South America, such as Leonora Carrington, are all included in this broad, comprehensive view. The artists featured here have sought for indigenous roots and a local tradition; explored abstraction, expressionism and new media (video, installation, performance); entered dialogue with European and North American movements, while insisting on reaching a wide popular audience for their work; and created an energetic, innovative and very varied art scene across the continent today. A new chapter extends the discussion into the twenty-first century, summarizing key trends and most notable figures of the last two decades. A constant theme is the embrace of the experimental and the new by artists across Latin America.

Aperture 238: House and Home


How do homes serve as emblems of a moment, markers of the past, or articulations of future possibilities? The Spring 2020 issue of Aperture considers the meanings and forms of a home, and the relationships between architecture, design, and the domestic realm. From interviews with leading architects--such as David Adjaye, Denise Scott Brown, and Annabelle Selldorf--and a reconsideration of the irreverent interiors magazine Nest, to previously unpublished work by Robert Adams and new portfolios by artists, including Alejandro Cartagena, Fumi Ishino, Mauro Restiffe, and the duo Randhir Singh and Seher Shah, House & Home considers the concepts of home across diverse geographies and time periods.

Relaxed Rustic


Inspired by nature, these beautiful interiors show how you can bring the natural world into your home whether you live in the country or the city. Relaxed rustic interiors are about embracing the pared-back lifestyle of living in the country, taking nature as the main point of inspiration. Use colours, textures and details to create a home in which to unwind - a retreat from the rest of the world. Niki Brantmark explores various takes on this simple, informal style. The graphical look is striking, reminiscent of exposed landscapes: think whitewashed ceilings, rugged stone surfaces and striking black features, softened by cosy soft furnishings and fresh plants and flowers. Savanna style introduces warmer hues, featuring painted wood and reds, oranges and browns in textiles, furniture and collectibles. Nordic interiors take in the best of the Scandinavian landscape - clean white backdrops against sleek designs - while those inspired by forest and mountain streams are filled with rich, deep greens and blues, combined with traditional patterns and features, such as log burners, wood panelling and woven rugs. The stunning photography for this book takes in locations across Scandinavia and the United States, and all evoke an ideal, rural life, adapted to modern living.

Az akasztófa árnyékában - François Villon


Az akasztófa árnyékában hiánypótló kötet. Villon verseinek Magyarországon ugyanis számtalan kiadása van, önálló monográfia azonban mindeddig nem jelent meg a költőről. A mű a legújabb kutatási eredményekre: levéltárakból előkerült okiratokra, bírósági végzésekre, kegyelmi levelekre támaszkodva göngyölíti fel Villon élettörténetét és elemzi verseit. A legfrissebb szakirodalom alapján rekonstruál. A középkor történelmi, társadalmi környezetébe helyezve igyekszik teljes képet adni élet és mű lehetséges kapcsolódásairól. Kételyeket is megfogalmaz, hiszen annyi ebben a dokumentumhalmazban az ismeretlen elem, hogy Villon életének még a kronológiáját is nehéz megnyugtatóan összeállítani. A kutatók számára jól használható, az irodalomkedvelők érdeklődésére is számot tartó kismonográfia korabeli illusztrációkkal idézi meg az első "elátkozott költő" világát, életterét és költészetét.

Příběhy slavných vil renesančního Říma


Vyprávění o římských vilách z období renesance a raného baroka je pojato nejen jako zasvěcený průvodce architektonickými a výtvarnými skvosty 15. a 16. století, ale čtivou formou uvádí čtenáře do obecně kulturních a politických dějin, které předurčily moderní Evropu.

Kniha zachybuje proměny společnosti, odhaluje, jak se renesanční životní styl vycházející ze znovuobjevené antiky, propojený s kultem přírody a rozvinutím lidské přirozenosti, postupně proměňoval směrem k barokní exaltovanosti a zbožnosti. Text je bohatě prokládán fotografickou dokumentací. Výkladem alegoricko-symbolického významu výzdoby vil poutavě zasvěcuje do renesančního myšlení.

Jozef Krakovský


JOZEF KRAKOVSKÝ - monografia akademického maliara s nezvyčajnou mierou talentu nielen v rokoch zrelosti, ale i v čase organizovaného zabúdania. Jozef Krakovský nikdy nebol verný jednej téme, námetu. Jeho prístup k výtvarnej tvorbe je vždy charakteristický pre jeho určitú epochu, ktorá trvá niekedy aj veľmi krátky čas. Potom maliarove odrazy sveta v dielach prechádzajú turbolentne rôznymi výtvarnými štýlmi, ktoré paradoxne prinášajú akúsi rovnováhu. Veľmi silný „prízvuk“ obrazov tvorí farba, ktorá odzrkadľuje maliarov vnútorný svet, podobne ako u jeho veľkých vzorov Vincenta Willema van Gogha a Jacksona Pollocka. Jozef Krakovský neustále hľadal, tvoril. Niekedy zašiel do slepej uličky, ale vždy našiel silu a vrátil sa späť. Jeho diela zachytávajú všehochuť výtvarného umenia 19. až 21. storočia nielen u nás doma, ale podnety nachádzal i vo francúzskych a holandských výtvarných prúdoch.

We Build Drawings


`Architects do not actually build buildings,' says Mikkel Frost, co-founder of Danish architecture firm CEBRA. `What we build is an idea. To visualize it, we build drawings.' The evolutionary process of how aphorisms develop into precise architectural concepts is illustrated through a collection of Frost's sketches and watercolours. Over 200 drawings are organized into 20 sections, each relating to one of CEBRA's projects. An index containing c olour photographs and renders of their works further illuminates how the drawings are translated into reality. Introducing the book, a written version of Frost's TEDx talk Let your fingers do the talking elaborates on the book's impetus: to bring a spotlight to the craft of drawing as a powerful tool for creation and communication.

Alternatívna Slovenská grafika


Prvé vydanie umenovednej publikácie historičky umenia PhDr. Aleny Vrbanovej, PhD. o vývine alternatívnych foriem a umeleckých stratégií (modelov) v tvorbe umeleckej grafiky od polovice 20. storočia s presahmi do 21. storočia. Predstavuje nový pohľad na vývin a prínos slovenskej umeleckej grafiky z pozície netradičných, experimentálnych a autorských počinov 49 slovenských umelkýň a umelcov. Autorka sa problematike venuje dlhodobo. V roku 1997 autorsky pripravila prvú celoslovenskú výstavu a rovnomenný katalóg. Do unikátnej zbierky súčasnej grafiky Stredoslovenskej galérie v Banskej Bystrici získala početnú kolekciu tejto neklasickej grafiky. V roku 2011 realizovala výstavu Alternatívna slovenská grafika na pôde Galérie Cypriána Majerníka v Bratislave, pričom výskum rozšírila o historické kontexty média. Monografia sa zoberá históriou, typológiou, analýzou a interpretáciou alternatívnych foriem umeleckej grafiky v slovenskom umení. Dáva ho do súvisu s nástupom informelu (štrukturálna grafika, aktívna grafika, monotypia a presahy grafiky a iných médií), cez umelecky mimoriadne podnetné obdobie 60. rokov, ktoré vníma ako kľúčové pre vznik nielen experimentálnych, ale najmä konceptuálnych základov grafiky a snahu o maximálne rozšírenie hraníc média. Obdobie normalizácie publikácia zachytáva tvorbou avantgardných a konceptuálne orientovaných tvorcov a osobitnú pozornosť venuje vzniku, etablovaniu sa a rozšíreniu počítačovej grafiky (od roku 1973). Popri týchto dnes už historických obdobiach sa autorka venuje vývinu neklasických a autorských polôh grafického média po roku 1990, ktoré reprezentujú prienik zamlčanej tradície a nových technológií (najmä digitálneho spracovania matrice, simulácie tradičných techník pomocou softvérov, ako aj presahy grafiky a iných médií). Umelecko-historický kontext a vývinové súvislosti alternatívnej grafiky dopĺňa ich analýza a interpretácia z pohľadu ich estetickej zámernosti a výrazovej osobitosti formy a jazyka Publikácia prináša bohatú obrazovú časť - 230 reprodukcií diel od 49 autoriek a autorov, ako aj odkazy na pramenné zdroje.
