Textiles Today: A Global Survey of Trends and Traditions
|
Thames and Hudson
|
Автор: Chloe Colchester
Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2007
|
PDF, 208 страниц, 6.24 МБ
|
Textiles owe their development to religion, commerce, exchange and travel, and their vibrant and creative preservation to tenacious regionalism. Artists and designers from India, Mali, Madagascar, Morocco, Burkina Faso and Nigeria have reinvigorated art and fashion by using the fabrics and graphic elements they find on the streets of London, Paris and New York and other cities. Extraordinary technological developments, from colour-changing, light-sensitive camouflage to emergency shelters of cement-impregnated fabric bonded to an inflatable plastic, are included here alongside the simply beautiful, such as Eley Kishimoto’s patterns that point to the historical exchange of ideas between the East and the West, or the astonishing colour transmutations of Morphotex.

A Room Full of Toys: The Magical Characters of Childhood
|
Thames and Hudson
|
Автор: Alberto Manguel
Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2006
|
PDF, 224 страницы, 6.72 МБ
|
Here is an amazing journey through the world of toys and the children’s rooms that were their homes, from the late 19th century to the present day. More than seven hundred toys from the superb collection at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, are brought to life in a series of fabulous and fantastical scenes, strikingly staged to produce a toy’s-eye view of more than a century of fun and games. Dolls and teddies, trains and planes, robots and animals, favourite characters ranging from Donald Duck and Barbie to Luke Skywalker and the Ninja Turtles – all of these and more run riot through a land that seems both strange and familiar, comforting and unsettling, and absolutely evocative of the pleasures and pains of the playroom. The book is led by the gaze of Alberto Manguel, whose text explores what toys mean to both children and adults – how toys can tell us who we are and allow us to imagine what we may become. Manguel’s words and the extraordinary images come together to form a dazzling recreation of the dreamlike world of childhood, the serious business of pretending – and the magic of make-believe.

Laurie Simmons: Walking, Talking, Lying
|
Thames and Hudson
|
Автор: Kate Linker
Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2005
|
PDF, 156 страниц, 4.68 МБ
|
Laurie Simmons is one of the first contemporary American photographers to have created elaborately-staged narrative photographs. Using dolls to act out piquant scenarios within specially constructed environments, she has slyly commented on contemporary culture while re-creating a sense of the 50s that I knew was both beautiful and lethal. Prodigiously creative — she has produced some thirteen or fourteen fully developed series since the 1970s — Simmons uses highly saturated color and large formats, ranging from 20 by 24 inches to more recent work as large as 84 by 48 inches. Housewives, ballerinas, cowboys, tourists, and ventriloquists` dummies populate her diverse tableaux, which are often infused with a bittersweet sense of nostalgia yet charged with a disquieting sense of dislocation. In Laurie Simmons: Walking, Talking, Lying, Kate Linker concentrates on selected series — from Ventriloquism, Walking Objects, and Lying Objects to the 1997 Self-Portraits and the Cafe of the Inner Mind — to illuminate ideas that cut through the artist`s entire body of work. Of particular interest are the willfully ambiguous interplay between objects, figures, and backgrounds, and the way specific things (toys, cakes, guns) and settings (suburban interiors, theatrical stages) take on strange powers in Simmons`s photographs. As Linker makes clear, the artist`s use of narrative links her to a number of contemporary fiction writers, while her fondness for artifice, advertising, childhood memory, and unabashed eclecticism relates to — and has helped shape — the heated debates of the past thirty-some years about the nature of photography.

Araki (Photofile)

Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2008

DOC, 144 страницы, 1.00 МБ
|
The Japanese photographer and artist Nobuyoshi Araki is known for his provocative pictures. Influenced by Shunga, the erotic art of the Edo period (1603–1867), as well as the glossy imagery of contemporary culture, much of Araki’s work confronts taboo subjects such as sex, nudity and death head on. Subjects range from poetic scenes of old Tokyo to modern Japanese sub-culture, from sensual close-ups of exotic flowers to erotic photographs of kimono-clad women bound in rope. This compact book surveys and reflects Araki’s extraordinary breadth of work, from the shocking to the sublime. PHOTOFILE brings together the best work of the world’s greatest photographers, in an attractive format and at an easily affordable price. Handsome and collectable, the books are produced to the highest standards. Each volume contains some sixty full-page reproductions printed in superb duotone, together with a critical introduction and a full bibliography. The series has been awarded the first annual prize for distinguished photographic books by the International Center of Photography, New York.

Arcimboldo (1527-1593)

Автор: Sylvia Ferino-Pagden
Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2010
|
PDF, 320 страниц, 9.60 МБ
|
Famous all over the world for his composite heads made up of plants, fruit and animals, Arcimboldo still remains, paradoxically, a painter shrouded in mystery. This important monograph proposes to reveal the eclecticism of one of the most fertile and lively minds of the Mannerist period, placing him in the cultural context in which he lived and worked. In addition to the artist's anamorphic heads, this volume includes an important selection of his paintings (among which, numerous previously unpublished portraits), tapestries, drawings and illustrations, realised throughout his life, from the period of his training in Lombardy to his time at the Hapsburg court.

The Baroque Architecture of Sicily
|
Thames and Hudson
|
Автор: Maria Giuffre
Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2007
|
PDF, 288 страниц, 8.64 МБ
|
Sicilian Baroque architecture was open to the whole world of European Baroque and yet stubbornly protective of its own unique identity. Sicilian Baroque was once described by Anthony Blunt as the style ‘in which the energy and imagination of the south attained full and mature expression’. This volume superbly affirms that this era in the island’s history was a crucial phase in Western civilization. Through analysis and above all by revelatory photography it seeks to define what makes the Baroque of Sicily distinctive: • How does it differ from the Baroque not only of other countries but also from that of other Italian regions? • How was it possible to impose that particular character upon churches and palaces, sculpture and painting? • What was the role of ‘capital’ cities such as Palermo and Catania, and smaller towns like Noto? • To what extent did it absorb styles from abroad, both through travel and through pictures and treatises? • How decisive was that Sicilian speciality, the earthquake, as a factor in change and renewal?

In the public perception as well as the privacy of the home the bath has transformed itself to a freely designed adventurous space.
