Anatomy for the Artist


Unlock your inner artist and learn how to draw the human body in this beautifully illustrated art book by celebrated artist and teacher Sarah Simblet. This visually striking guide takes a fresh approach to drawing the human body. A combination of innovative photography and drawings, practical life-drawing lessons, and in-depth explorations of the body's surface and underlying structure are used to reveal and celebrate the human form. Combining specially-commissioned photographs of models with historical and contemporary works of art and her own dynamic life drawing, Sarah leads us inside the human body to map its skeleton, muscle groups, and body systems. Detailed line drawings superimposed over photographs reveal the links between the body's appearance and its construction. Six drawing classes show how to observe different parts of the body and give expert guidance on how to draw them. Inspirational master classes on famous works, ranging from a Michelangelo study to a Degas painting, show how artists have depicted the human body over the centuries. Each master class includes a photograph of a model holding the same pose as in the painting, to highlight details of anatomy and show how the artist has interpreted them. Understanding anatomy is the key to drawing the human body successfully. As well as being the perfect reference, Anatomy for the Artist will inspire you to find a model, reach for your pencil, and start drawing.

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.

Contemporary African Art


Contemporary African art has grown out of the diverse histories and cultural heritage of the African continent and its diaspora. It is not characterized by any particular style, technique or theme, but by a bricolage-like attitude towards art-making, incorporating and building upon the structures from which older, precolonial and colonial genres were made. In this revised and updated edition of Contemporary African Art, Sidney Littlefield Kasfir examines the major themes, developments and accomplishments in African art of the 20th and 21st centuries. Organized thematically, the book includes new chapters on the history of African photography and the growth of the global art market, alongside significant discussions of patronage and mediation, artistic training and national and diaspora identities.

Neri Oxman: Mediated Matter


The first survey on the interdisciplinary biodesign genius of Neri Oxman, pioneer of "material ecology Throughout her 20-year career, Neri Oxman has invented not only new ideas for materials, buildings and construction processes, but also new frameworks for interdisciplinary--and interspecies--collaborations. She coined the term "material ecology" to describe her process of producing techniques and objects informed by the structural, systemic and aesthetic wisdom of nature, from the shells of crustaceans to the flow of human breathing. Groundbreaking for its solid technological and scientific basis, its rigorous and daring experimentation, its visionary philosophy and its unquestionable attention to formal elegance, Oxman's work operates at the intersection of biology, engineering, architecture and artistic design, material science and computer science. This book--designed by Irma Boom and published to accompany a midcareer retrospective of Oxman's work--highlights the interdisciplinary nature of the designer's practice. It demonstrates how Oxman's contributions allow us to question and redefine the idea of modernism--a concept in constant evolution--and of organic design. Some of the projects featured in the book and exhibition include the Silk Pavilion, which harnesses silkworms' ability to generate a 3-D cocoon out of a single thread silk in order to create architectural constructions; Aguahoja, a water-based fabrication platform that prints structures made out of different biopolymers; and Glass, an additive manufacturing technology for 3-D printing optically transparent glass structures at architectural dimensions. Israeli American architect, designer and inventor Neri Oxman (born 1976) is professor of media arts and sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Lab. Her work is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, among others.

Raphael in Detail


- Introduction to some of the world's most popular artists, looking at their works in incredible detail - Filled with superbly reproduced full-page, close-up details, offering new views of some of the world's most popular paintings Crowned the 'Prince of Painters' by Giorgio Vasari, Raphael (1483-1520) was one of the most popular artists of the Italian Renaissance. Famous for his serene and harmonious series of Madonnas and his work at the Vatican Palace, he was an extremely influential painter, both during and after his own lifetime. Pope Julius II hired Raphael as his chief architect and his first commission charged him with the task of decorating the papal apartments at the Vatican in 1509. Now known as the Raphael Rooms, these astonishing displays continue to attract visitors from all over the world. Raphael in Detail shows his beautiful masterpieces in unprecedented, large-format details. The art historian and specialist of the Italian Renaissance, Stefano Zuffi, takes the reader on a surprising voyage into Raphael's life and work. The book is organized thematically and includes a biography and a list of works.

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.

Greek and Roman Art


For more than 2,000 years the art of Greece and Rome has lain at the heart of western civilization. This book recaptures the excitement of the artists who first created it. It traces the daring innovations of those who, defying traditional wisdom, explored new ideas; it describes the valiant struggles of sculptors and painters to portray - for the first time - both the complexities of the human form and the richness of human emotions. So much has been destroyed by the ravages of time that Greek and Roman art seems to consist only of impressive ruins and broken fragments. Yet the creative achievements of the Greeks and their legacy, as adapted by the Romans, have never lost their power.

Hudba stredoveku (2. vydanie)


Americký muzikológ Richard Hallowell Hoppin (1913 1991), absolvent Harvardovej univerzity (1952), bol dlhoročným profesorom hudobných dejín na Ohio State University. Táto kniha je plodom jeho celoživotného záujmu o stredovekú hudbu a svojím zasväteným a jasne podaným ponorom do problematiky si získala postavenie kľúčového textu o vývine hudby od skorého kresťanského chorálu až po viachlas zo začiatku 15. storočia. Autor sa podrobne zaoberá historickým pozadím, vývinom jednotlivých liturgií, svetskou piesňou v latinčine i v národných jazykoch, nástupom svetského i sakrálneho viachlasu a napokon aj novým renesančným štýlom v dielach Dunstabla, Dufaya a Binchoisa.

Risomania - The New Spirit of Printing


Risography, named after the Japanese firm Riso, is a digital printing process based on screen printing techniques that was developed in the transition phase from mechanical to digital printing. Although the printer looks like a copying machine, the colors are transferred onto the paper without the use of heat or chemicals, saving energy and making the process ecologically friendly. The Risograph printer is at the forefront of a new creative explosion. More and more artists and designers all over the world are rediscovering this stencil duplicator for themselves, sparking a unique and unexpected renaissance in analogue printing. And Risography is just the most prominent technique in a new wave of cutting-edge contemporary design, one that is also recuperating forgotten technologies such as the Gestetner and the mimeograph. A comprehensive introduction that addresses past, present and future is followed by an essay about the key pioneers in the contemporary risography scene. In the chapter Risoworld notable risography-oriented publishers, printers and design studies from around the world are presented. At the heart of the volume are fabulous, hugely diverse examples of Riso-printing, including postcards, magazines, posters, flyers, and experimental printed products, all of which inspire through vivacity of colour, unique textures and, above all, the perfectly imperfect authenticity of Risography.

Icons


When considering the term "icon", how can the idea of cultic worship be connected with the concept of the transcendental today? The qualities of the traditional icon continue to have an effect, particularly in the spiritual presence and auratic power of many modern and contemporary artworks. This volume presents masterpieces which expressesaspects of spirituality and reverence in a variety of individual ways. The works extend from Russian icons via Caspar David Friedrich, Wassily Kandinsky, Kazimir Malevich, Piet Mondrian, Mark Rothko and Yves Klein to Andy Warhol, Niki de Saint Phalle, Isa Genzken and Andreas Gursky. Everyday icons from the world of brands and pop culture complete the range of images. The choice of works and the essays by selected authors contrast the interpretation of the traditional concept of the icon in art with the phenomenon of the creation of icons in our day-to-day environment. The publication aims to demonstrate the spiritual power of art and invites the reader to contemplation.

Biologie umění


Na první pohled se pojem umění zdá být víceméně jasný. Problém ovšem nastává v okamžiku, kdy ho máme vysvětlit a popsat někomu dalšímu. Mnozí z nás pak nejspíš dospějí k závěru, že umění jako abstraktní entituči lidskou činnost vyčerpávajícím způsobem definovat nelze. Tato „nedokonalost“ lidského poznání znesnadňuje již samotné pátrání po původu, příčinách i samotném jeho smyslu nejen v dávné minulosti. Život na planetě Zemi se po miliardy let vyvíjel pod taktovkou přírodních zákonů. Před dvěma či třemi sty tisíci lety se však přihodilo něco zvláštního, co tato planeta do té doby nezaznamenala. Objevil se člověk Homo sapiens, jehož mysl byla obdařena dosud nepoznanou neurologickou kvalitou, zcela novým typem vědomí, které charakterizuje nebývalá inteligence a také naprosto nový fenomén, totiž lidská kultura a její výsostný produkt umění. Od tohoto okamžiku se život na Zemi začal vyvíjet ve zcela nových souvislostech, kterým nejsme schopni plně porozumět ani dnes. Naprostá většina vypravěčů umění začíná líčit jeho příběh v mladším paleolitu, v temnotě franko-kantabrijských jeskyní, či pod skalními převisy v Austrálii. A není divu, malby na stěnách jeskyně Chauvet, Altamira, Lascaux stejně jako pod skalním převisem Nawarla Gabarnmang v australské buši jsou jednoduše fantastické, dechberoucí, ohromující! Avšak navzdory skutečnosti, že člověk je tvor výsostně kulturní, zůstalo mu jeho biologické dědictví zachováno v plné míře. Existuje tedy nějaký vztah mezi uměním a biologickými zákonitostmi, obecně řečeno kulturou a naturou? A pokud ano, jakou roli při evoluci umění sehrála právě biologie?

Nineteenth-Century Art - A Critical History


Written by a group of highly respected art historians, the fifth edition of this classic book now features full-colour artworks throughout, new chapter introductions, examinations of key ideas, and other helpful pedagogical support. Emphasizing the vitality of 19th-century art, the authors demonstrate how paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings by David, Gericault, Turner, Homer, Cassatt, Rodin, Van Gogh and many others remain relevant today. Using evocative and lucid prose, the authors reveal how concerns about class and gender, race and ethnicity, modernity and tradition, and popular and elite culture - ideas that arose in the course of the 19th century - motivated artists and propelled the movements under review.

Edward Hopper - A-Z


That incomparable melancholy in Edward Hopper's pictures occasionally leads us to look at the details of his life. Where exactly did this master of loneliness live and work? What were his most important influences while he was working on his great paintings of America? In this wonderful, simply structured, A-to-Z book, Ulf Kuster pursues these themes, which say a great deal about the painter and his interests, and yet he never loses sight of the artist and the necessary distance to his inimitable pictures. Thus, Kuster strolls through the ABCs of Hopper's life and work, from the "American landscape," "Buick" "Goethe," and "shadow and sunlight" to the key word, "time." On the way he opens up many new doors or insights, enriching the views of Hopper's paintings and make it possible to interpret them in new ways. An entertaining and informative book.

Piranesi drawings - visions of antiquity


The first exploration of Piranesi's work as a draughtsman, published to coincide with an exhibition at the British Museum. The Venetian-born artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778) is best known for his dramatic prints of the architecture and antiquities of his adopted city of Rome, and for the extraordinary flights of spatial fancy in his series Le Carceri (Prisons). But he was also an astonishingly talented draughtsman, as revealed in this outstanding collection of drawings at the British Museum. This book explores the relationship between Piranesi's drawings and prints, and reveals the way in which his style and interests as a draughtsman evolved over time. Some are spontaneous 'primi pensieri', first thoughts that anticipate a bigger work; others explore more complex exercises in perspective and spatial representation. Piranesi drawings reveals the quality and lasting impact of the work of this remarkably influential artist.

Vincent Hložník – Príbeh jednej zbierky


Diela Vincenta Hložníka prezentované v tejto knihe sú výberom obrazov rozsiahlej kolekcie budovanej takmer tri desaťročia. Vzhľadom na široký rozsah jeho výtvarných aktivít je výber redukovaný na voľnú kresbu a maľbu, ktoré majú k sebe veľmi blízko a často nemožno nájsť medzi nimi jasnú hranicu. Základnou myšlienkou budovanie zbierky je zámer prostredníctvom diel priblížiť ústrednú tému tvorby Vincenta Hložníka - hľadanie zmyslu ľudskej existencie. Výber diel je subjektívnym pohľadom a sleduje predovšetkým cieľ ukázať neobyčajnú šírku a mnohotvárnosť Hložníkovho umeleckého prejavu. Je samozrejme poznačený reálnymi možnosťami, dostupnosťou diel, či inými obmedzeniami. Každé dielo v zbierke má svoju vlastnú históriu a práve odkrývanie jeho "životných osudov" od obdobia a okolností vzniku až po jeho zaradenie do kolekcie, je tým najväčším dobrodružstvom pre zberateľa. Niekedy je táto cesta podrobne zmapovaná, inokedy celkom neznáma.
