Why Your Five Year Old Could Not Have Done That: Modern Art Explained
|
Thames and Hudson
|
Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2012 |
PDF, 224 страницы, 6.72 МБ
|
Why Your 5 Year Old Could Not Have Done That is Susie Hodge's passionate and persuasive argument against the most common disparaging remark levelled at modern art. In this enjoyable and thought-provoking book, she examines 100 works of modern art that have attracted critical and public hostility from Cy Twombly's scribbled Olympia (1957), Jean-Michel Basquiat's crude but spontaneous LNAPRK (1982), to the apparently careless mess of Tracey Emin's My Bed (1998) and explains how, far from being negligible novelties, they are inspired and logical extensions of the ideas of their time. She explains how such notorious works as Carl Andre's Equivalent VIII (1966) the infamous bricks occupy unique niches in the history of ideas, both showing influences of past artists and themselves influencing subsequent artists. With illustrations of works from Hans Arp to Adolf Wölfli, Susie Hodge places each work in its cultural context to present an unforgettable vision of modern art. This book will give you an understanding of the ways in which modern art differs from the realistic works of earlier centuries, transforming as well as informing your gallery visits for years to come.

The Magic of M: C. Escher

Автор: Locher J.L. Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2013 |
PDF, 202 страницы, 6.06 МБ
|
M.C. Escher (1898-1972) is renowned for his ability to render the visions of his mind's eye. The visions themselves were remarkable: for Escher, the skin of the visible world was nothing more than a piece of cloth that could be cut, folded, shaped, and rearranged in marvelous ways. A superb draftsman, he portrayed these other-worldly transformations of space within the familiar borders of a sheet of paper. The resulting images have become the favorite artworks of viewers around the world. The Magic of M.C. Escher does justice to this original artist's inventions. Escher's works — woodcuts, lithographs, and drawings, accompanied by quotes from the author — are brilliantly arranged to form a cinematic look at his achievements. Here is the magical world of the artist's mind, an uncharted realm full of exotic conceptions and inventions.

James Cook and the Exploration of the Pacific
|
Thames and Hudson

Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2013 |
PDF, 276 страниц, 8.28 МБ
|
Captain James Cook (17281779) is renowned for leading three expeditions into the vast and uncharted waters of the Pacific Ocean. He was the first westerner to survey and map New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific Islands, forming the modern image of the world and finally defeating the idea of a mythical southern continent. This book documents Cooks voyages and reproduces around 500 original items collected by him and the international team of scientists and artists accompanying him. As early as the end of the 18th century, many of the ethnographic and natural history objects from diverse Pacific cultures, which were accrued during the three Cook voyages, were dispersed into various collections. Now, for the first time, they are reassembled here. The ethnographic exhibits are supplemented by magnificent paintings and drawings, which offer a fascinating insight into the explorers euphoric yet curious view of the exotic South Sea landscapes. Ship models, original sea charts and navigation instruments also provide a vivid introduction to the world of James Cooks voyages.

This is the first book to look at an increasingly popular form of street art: the 'wheatie' or wheat paste-up. Many street artists dont graffiti or stencil any more but use pre-prepared paper images that can be taken down, thereby avoiding a vandalism charge. The book will show the work of 20 artists, with photographs of their work, an article about their work and a fold-out paste-up. The fold-out pages are perforated so they can easily be removed. Some of the paste-ups will be laser cut with attaching tags so they can be popped out. There's also an introductory interview with cult street artists Sten & Lex.
