Magritte


This is not a book: Everyday enigma from Belgium's leading Surrealist From men in bowler hats, floating in the sky, to a painting of a pipe above the caption "this is not a pipe,"Rene Magritte (1898 1967)created an echo-chamber of object and image, name and thing, reality and representation.Like other Surrealist works, Magritte's paintings combine a precise, mimetic technique with abnormal, alienating configurations which defy the laws of scale, logic, and science: A comb the height of a wardrobe, rocks that float in the sky, clouds that drift through an open door. The result is a direct yet disorientating realm, often witty, often unsettling, and always prompting us to look beyond the visible, to what is hidden by what we see. This introductory book explores Magritte's vast repertoire ofvisual humor, paradox, and surprisewhich to this day makes us look and look again, not only at the painting, but at our sense of self and the world. About the Series: Each book in TASCHEN s Basic Art series features: a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance a concise biography approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions "

Klee


Thinking eye: A unique language of symbols, literature, and light With meticulous theories and many thousands of paintings, drawings, and watercolors, Paul Klee (1879-1940)is considered one of the mostcerebral and prolific leaders of 20th century European art. Though typically small in scale, his works are remarkable for their sophisticated thought and meticulous nuances of line, color, and tonality.Klee s stylistic formation was shaped by early affiliation with the German expressionist groupDer Blaue Reiterand, in particular, by a 1914 trip to Tunisia which transformed his use of color. After the war, he taught at the esteemedBauhaus school, where his lectures, like his emerging practice, emphasized the symbolic potential of shade, line, and geometry. Klee was also inspired byCubism, poetry, music, literature, language, and the simplistic power ofchildren s art. Famed for his simple stick figures, he often combined the appearance of untutored naivety with rigorous composition and intellectual significance.This book provides a selection of key Klee works to introduce his style and influence. From sun-drenched landscapes to enigmatic wordplay, discover a world at once simplistic, symbolic, and dazzlingly colorful.

Kandinsky


The Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944), who later lived in Germany and France, is one of the pioneers of 20th-century art. Nowadays he is regarded as the founder of abstract art and is, moreover, the chief theoretician of this type of painting. Together with Franz Marc and others he founded the group of artists known as the "Blane Reiter" in Munich. His art then freed itself more and more from the object, eventually culminating in the First Abstract Watercolor of 1910. In his theoretical writings Kandinsky repeatedly sought the proximity of music; and just as in music, where the individual notes constitute the medium whose effect stems from harmony and euphony, Kandinsky was aiming for a pure concord of color the rough the interplay of various shades. Gauguin had demanded that everything "must be sacrificed to pure colors." Kandinsky was the first to realize this and thus to influence a whole range of artists.

New Swiss Architecture


Established on the global stage by the international success and influence of architects such as Peter Zumthor and Herzog & de Meuron, today's generation of architects in Switzerland draws on the country's distinctive landscape of alpine peaks, crystalline lakes and efficient cities, and fuses traditional Swiss materials with new high-tech tools and innovative construction methods. New Swiss Architecture documents fifty of the most important buildings of the last decade through architectural photographs that highlight their exceptional detail, attention to context and material experimentation. Because of their isolated locations, many of these buildings are little known, despite having been designed by leading architects, including Christ & Gantenbein, Gigon/Guyer, Valerio Olgiati, Charles Pictet, Richter Dahl Rocha and Diener & Diener. The book is presented in two sections: the first comprises a photographic portfolio of projects organized into themes: Alpine, Infrastructural, Recreational, Rural, Suburban, Urban. The second section describes each of the featured buildings through drawings, plans and concise texts.

Hopper


Edward Hopper (1882-1967) is considered as one of the first important American painters in 20th century art. After decades of patient work, Hopper enjoyed a success and popularity that since the 1950s has continually grown. In canvas after canvas he painted the loneliness of urban people. Many of Hopper's pictures represent views of streets and roads, rooftops, and abandoned houses, depicted in a brilliant light that strangely belies the melancholy mood of the scenes. Hopper's paintings are marked by striking juxtapositions of color, and by the clear contours with which the figures are demarcated from their surroundings. His extremely precise focus on the theme of modern men and women in the natural and man-made environment sometimes lends his pictures a mood of eerie disquiet. On the other hand, Hopper's renderings of rocky landscapes in warm brown hues, or his depictions of the seacoast, exude an unusual tranquillity that reveals another, more optimistic side of his character.

Le Corbusier


Born Charles-Edouard Jeanneret, Le Corbusier (1887-1965) adopted his famous pseudonym after publishing his ideas in the review L'Esprit Nouveau in 1920. The few buildings he was able to design during the 1920s, when he also spent much of his time painting and writing, brought him to the forefront of modern architecture. But it was not until after World War II that his epoch-making buildings were constructed, such as the Unite d'Habitation apartment complex in Marseilles, and the chapel of Notre Dame du Haut in Ronchamp.

Thames and Hudson Dictionary of Photography


The comprehensive, accessible and authoritative illustrated reference to the history, art and science of photography. In one single, elegant volume, this publication features over 300 iconic photographs and contains more than 1,200 concise yet fully detailed entries on all aspects of the subject. Though much information can today be found online, locating it takes time and sources can have questionable provenance and uncertain academic credentials. All previous dictionaries of photography are now outdated, as well, focusing either on the famous and influential practitioners of the genre or presented as mere glossaries of technical terms. This landmark publication is the culmination of ten years of development and research. Working with an international expert panel of 150 consultants and 77 researchers, Nathalie Herschdorfer has triumphed in creating the first source of information for all scholars, practitioners and collectors of photography to turn to in the future.

Vanek


V keramickej tvorbe do architektúry sa Vanek sústredí predovšetkým na monumentálny reliéf, celoplošne pokrývajúci stenu, Jeho monumentálne reliéfy sebavedome vstupujú do architektonického priestoru.

Champagne Supernovy


Na sklonku 90. rokov tri postavy navždy zmenili tvár módy a kultúry: Marc Jacobs, Alexander McQueen a Kate Mossová. Všetci traja mali úžasný talent a každý mal nejakú temnú stránku, ktorá ho takmer zničila. Spolu predstavovali zlomový moment v móde a pop kultúre, ktorý skoncoval so všetkým, čo bolo pred tým, a zmenil všetko, čo nasledovalo. Táto trojica sa objavila presne vo chvíli, keď dlhonohé supermodelky ustúpili heroínovej elegancii a keď grunge vystriedal hair metal. V deväťdesiatych rokoch sa stala hnacou silou kultúry móda a títo traja obrazoborci spolu s ďalšími, ktorí vstúpili do ich obežnej dráhy, vytvorili vizionársku kombináciu umenia, dekadencie a geniality, ktorá predstavuje nielen úplný obrat v móde, ale aj veľký posun v štýle, obchodovaní a kultúre. Bolo to desaťročie, keď sa alternatíva stala stredným prúdom - a hlavný prúd sa stal multimiliardovým biznisom. Vo viac ako stovke rozhovorov skúma Maureen Callahanová toto kľúčové obdobie prostredníctvom života troch ľudí, ktorí sa stali jednak ikonami, no zároveň varovnými príbehmi svojej éry

A magyar népművészet 1000 csodája


A könyvhöz az egész Kárpát-medencéből gyűjtöttük az anyagot, gyakran átlépve a jelenlegi országhatárainkat, hogy egy-egy néprajzi tájegységet a lehető legteljesebben mutassunk be. A sok évszázados gyökerű népművészet ugyanis nem volt tekintettel a kényszerű történelmi változásokra: nem követte a politikai-földrajzi határokat. Hat ország több száz településén jártunk. Évekig voltunk úton, bekopogtunk házakhoz, bejártuk a skanzeneket, bekéredzkedtünk udvarokba, megpihentünk csűrökben, önfeledten doboltuk a ritmust a táncházakban és szégyenlősen táncra perdültünk magunk is, ha éppen nem figyelt senki ránk egy-egy esti mulatságon. Nemcsak a tárgyi emlékek hihetetlenül gazdag világával ismerkedtünk: néztük az arcokat, a mozdulatokat, lejegyeztük a jellemző ételek receptjeit. Közben egyre telhetetlenebbek lettünk. Hiába hordtuk haza a képeket szőttesekről, faragásokról, kerámiákról, ahogy haladtunk előre az időben újra meg újra azt gondoltuk: nincs elég megörökített csipke, mézeskalács vagy kályhacsempe a birtokunkban. Így aztán mindegyik utolsó út után következett még egy utolsó utáni utolsó, mert népművészetünk felmérhetetlenül gazdag. Befejezni lehetetlen volt a gyűjtőmunkát, csak abbahagyni lehetett.
