Art: The Groundbreaking Moments	Prestel
Автор: Heine Florian Издательство: Prestel, 2012	DjVu, 205 страниц, 8.20 МБ 0 Оценка:
The first portrait; the first realistic animal drawing; the first night-time scene; the first nude study; the first still life. These firsts and others are closely explored in twenty-five chapters that help the general reader and art lover alike understand how innovation spurred artistic growth through the years and around the world. Each chapter opens with a specific artist or work that introduced a new concept and includes examples of masterpieces that exemplify them. Colourful illustrations and lively texts show how each concept influenced other contemporary works as well as future generations. For example, self-portraits painted by Durer, van Gogh, and even Andy Warhol can be traced back to the first recorded self-portrait by Jan van Eyck. A Miraculous Draught of Fishes, by fifteenth-century artist Konrad Witz, paved the way for later landscapes by El Greco, Constable, and Wyeth. Arranged chronologically, the chapters in the book can be studied individually to deepen our understanding of a particular aspect of art or as a whole — to appreciate the ever-changing patterns of artistic development.

Sense of Place: European Landscape Photography	Prestel
Автор: Wells Liz Издательство: Prestel, 2012	PDF, 276 страниц, 8.28 МБ 0 Оценка:
Is Europe a union in name only? How does the land we live on contribute to our culture? How does it divide or unite a collection of cultures? These important questions are at the root of this pictorial examination of Europe's heterogeneous landscape. This book brings together images from twenty-seven European Union nations and from prominent artists such as Olafur Eliasson (Denmark), Thomas Struth (Germany), Carl De Keyzer (Belgium), Massimo Vitali (Italy), and Celine Clanet (France). The book shows how landscape photography in particular offers critical insights into the characteristics of a place, inviting viewers, through a subjective lens, to form their own feelings toward that place. Organized into three broad geographic zones, it offers exquisite depictions of Europe's wonderfully varied geography — shorelines and fjords, mountains and plains, farmland and urban centres — as it seeks to understand the source of the continent's diversity and unity.

Lichtenstein Posters	Prestel
Автор: Doring Jurgen Издательство: Prestel, 2013	DjVu, 152 страницы, 6.08 МБ 5 Оценка:
Roy Lichtenstein's art is most recognizable for its trademark Benday dots and two-dimensional planes, cartoon-like qualities that placed him at the forefront of the American Pop Art scene. With its heavy emphasis on America's consumer culture, Lichtenstein's style lends itself easily to the poster genre. This volume opens with his earliest poster, designed for his first exhibition at the Leo Castelli gallery in 1962, and closes with his last, which he completed in the year of his death. An additional section features reproductions from the Claus von Olden collection and includes posters and flyers that were produced all over the world using Lichtenstein's iconic motifs. The works reflect Lichtenstein's prolific imagination and ability to adapt his vision to the promotion of music and film festivals, theatrical performances, museums, restaurants, public service messages, as well as his own exhibitions. An essay by Jurgen Doring expounds upon Lichtenstein's development as an artist who blurred the boundaries between low — and high-brow art. The book also includes an illustrated biography of the artist.

Heavenly Himalayas	Prestel
Издательство: Prestel, 2011	PDF, 176 страниц, 5.28 МБ 0 Оценка:
From the first century BCE to the thirteenth century, Kashmir was a thriving center of Buddhist culture and art. The rise of Islamic peoples led to the destruction of all temples constructed there during the Buddhist era. Yet in the remote Himalayas of Ladakh and other neighboring locations, a few of these archaeological and artistic treasures are exquisitely preserved and are reproduced here for the first time. This volume takes readers on a journey through these remote sites, focusing especially on the amazing temple complex of Mangyu. The chapels, shrines, and dazzling murals presented here not only reveal much about late Mahayana Buddhism in India-its art, culture, and history-but also help fill a gap in our knowledge of the development of early Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism.

Gustav Klimt	Prestel
Автор: Partsch Susanna Издательство: Prestel, 2012	PDF, 120 страниц, 3.60 МБ 8 Оценка:
The enfant terrible of the Viennese art scene, Klimt was notorious for his portraits of beautiful women. Illustrated with color reproductions, this book profiles the women who figured in the artist's life and on his canvasses. The author looks beyond the standard assumption that Klimt was a hard-hearted philanderer, pointing instead to his committed and loving relationship with Emilie Floge that prevailed despite the parade of beautiful women who wandered in and out of the artist's studio. Partsch demonstrates Klimt's role in the evolution of portrait painting, which helped usher in the age of Expressionism.

New Fashion Photography	Prestel
Автор: Blanks Tim Издательство: Prestel, 2013	PDF, 224 страницы, 6.72 МБ 0 Оценка:
This stunningly illustrated book profiles more than 30 artists from around the world through exclusive interviews, commentary, and hundreds of beautiful images. Its subjects are enormously diverse in style and technique. From Nick Knight's paint-soaked portrait of Lady Gaga to the LaRoache Brothers' macabre restyling of Lily Cole, new fashion portraiture is consistently challenging our conventional ideas of beauty by confronting us with the unexpected. Throughout, photographers explore new avenues of thought and practice previously off-limits in the fashion world: Daniel Sannwald and Pierre Debusschere push the boundaries of the experimental avant-garde and articulate the schizophrenia of contemporary media through digital and physical interventions into the image surface; Miles Aldridge and Chadwick Tyler explore dark surrealism and the subconscious; Eugenio Recuenco and Aram Bedrossian absorb themselves in the language of romance, art and cinema; Alice Hawkins and Kourtney Roy create conceptually charged images that explore body image through self-referential and observational satire; Paola Kudacki and Markus + Indrani craft deceptively simple photos of stunning beauty. Each of the photographers profiled here are part of an explosive new artistic moment that is at once redefining notions of beauty and opening up the world of fashion photography to new and thrilling possibilities.

Seaside Polaroids	Prestel
Автор: Nicholson Jon Издательство: Prestel, 2013	PDF, 96 страниц, 2.88 МБ 0 Оценка:
Anyone who grew up holidaying on England's beaches is familiar with the distinctive features of these historic resorts — not the exclusive, paradisiacal haunts of the rich and famous, but the gritty, often rocky shores of the Atlantic and the Irish and North Seas, filled with amusement arcades, bathing huts, beach umbrellas and people of all ages and classes. Jon Nicolson's Polaroid SX70 is the perfect vehicle to capture the colour and character of summers at the sea. At once immediate and ephemeral, these delicately hued, slightly muted images taken with original, out-of-date film stock depict the faded glory of Yarmouth's giant piers, Brighton's pebbly shores, the Blackpool Pleasure Beach amusement park, the dunes of Hemsby, and many other resorts across Britain. Each of the 70 photographs is beautifully reproduced on its own page with descriptive captions. A foreword by Joseph Galliano provides a wry, contemporary perspective on these beloved, centuries-old locations.
