Автор: Shone Tom Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2015	PDF, 288 страниц, 8.64 МБ 7 Оценка:
Woody Allen is a uniquely innovative performer, writer and director with nearly fifty movies to his credit, from cult slapstick films and romantic comedies to introspective character studies and crime thrillers.

In this timely retrospective, Tom Shone reviews Woody Allens entire career. His informed commentaries are combined with many classic quotes from Allen that define the directors self-deprecating humour and acute thinking about his life and times. Superbly illustrated with more than 250 key images, this is a fitting tribute to one of the masters of modern cinema, published to mark Woody Allens eightieth birthday.

Fashion and the Art of Pochoir: The Golden Age of Illustration in Paris	Thames and Hudson
Автор: Calahan April Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2005	PDF, 240 страниц, 7.20 МБ 8 Оценка:
The 1910s and 1920s witnessed the advent of luxurious catalogs from the great French fashion houses that used the hand-colored stenciling technique known as pochoir. This highly refined, painterly technique, which consists of applying layers of gouache paint or watercolor to achieve bold blocks of saturated color, produced works of visual artistry previously unrivaled in the history of illustration. Pochoir presents a carefully curated selection of 300 of the most exceptional illustrations from albums produced by couturiers, as well as from high-end magazines popular during the period. From Paul Iribe, Georges Lepape, and Georges Barbier to Umberto Brunelleschi, Eduardo Garcia Benito, and Leon Bakst, these artists inaugurated the alliance between fashion and art, expertly conjuring the atmospheres evoked by the clothing from designers Paul Poiret, Jeanne Lanvin, and Madeleine Vionnet, among others. Complete with biographical descriptions of the featured illustrators and fashion designers, Pochoir reveals the rarely seen images that defined a short but magnificent golden age in fashion illustration.

In the history of photography, the lives of the major personalities behind the lens are often as captivating as the images they have left behind.

The entries evoke the lives and backgrounds of these landmark figures, bringing new light to their work and forging a better understanding of how they pioneered new techniques and approaches.

Mural XXL: What Graffiti and Street Art Did Next	Thames and Hudson
Автор: Walde Claudia Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2015	PDF, 192 страницы, 5.76 МБ 5 Оценка:
Once upon a time, illegal graffiti and street art were modest in scale, hastily created in hours or even minutes and destroyed just as quickly by authorities, vandals, or the weather. Now, however, architects, urban planners, and development companies have begun to support the creation of large murals, allowing street artists and graffiti artists to make carefully planned, more permanent works, sometimes covering entire buildings, and adding a whole new visual dimension to the world s cities. For this spectacular volume, Claudia Walde, whose own recent 1,800-square-foot, brilliantly colored mural on the Alte Messe, Leipzig, was created in just one grueling week of work, has selected more than 200 of the best XXL mural works from around the world and profiled thirty artists who pioneered this trend. Working in dangerous conditions, hundreds of yards above the ground, yet always keenly aware of the viewer s perspective from street level, these new street muralists are as fearless and technically skilled as they are brilliant and creative. With exclusive commentary from the practitioners as well as detailed information about their planning, methods, challenges, and inspirations, Mural XXL also includes a map identifying exciting murals around the world.

The Soviet Photobook 1920-1941	Thames and Hudson
Автор: Karasik Mikhail Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2005	DOC, 636 страниц, 1.00 МБ 0 Оценка:
The Soviet Union was unique in its formidable and dynamic use of the illustrated book as a means of propaganda. Through the book, the USSR articulated its totalitarian ideologies and expressed its absolute power in an unprecedented way through avant-garde writing and radical artistic design that was in full flower during the 1920s and 30s. No other country, nation, government or political system promoted itself more by attracting and employing acclaimed members of the avant-garde. Among them were writers like Semion Kirsanov, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Ilya Selvinsky, Sergei Tretyakov and Kornely Zelinsky; artistic designers like Gustav Klutsis, Valentina Kulagina, El Lissitzky, Sergei Senkin, Varvara Stepanova, Solomon Telingater and Nikolai Troshin; and photographers including Dmitry Debabov, Vladimir Griuntal, Boris Ignatovich, Alexander Khlebnikov, Yeleazar Langman, Alexander Rodchenko, Georgy Petrusovnot to mention many of the best printers and book binders. The Soviet Photobook 1920-1941 presents 160 of the most stunning and elaborately produced photobooks from this period and includes more than 400 additional reference illustrations. The book also provides short biographies of the photobook contributors, some of whom are presented here for the first time.

New Topographics	Thames and Hudson
Автор: Salvesen Britt Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2010	PDF, 256 страниц, 7.68 МБ 0 Оценка:
The New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape was one of those rare exhibitions that permanently alters how an art form is perceived. Held at the International Museum of Photography in Rochester, New York, in January 1975, it was curated by William Jenkins, who brought together ten contemporary photographers: Robert Adams, Lewis Baltz, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Joe Deal, Frank Gohlke, Nicholas Nixon, John Schott, Stephen Shore and Henry Wessel, Jr. Signaling the emergence of a new approach to landscape, the show effectively gave a name to a movement or style, although even today, the term New Topographics — more a conceptual gist than a precise adjective — is used to characterize the work of artists not yet born when the exhibition was held. Although the exhibit's ambitions were hardly so grand, New Topographics has since come to be understood as marking a paradigm shift, for the show occurred just as photography ceased to be an isolated, self-defined practice and took its place within the contemporary art world. Arguably the last traditionally photographic style, New Topographics was also the first Photoconceptual style. In different ways, the artists thoughtfully engaged with their medium and its history, while simultaneously absorbing such issues as environmentalism, capitalism and national identity. In this vital reassessment of the genre, essays by Britt Salvesen and Alison Nordstrom accompany illustrations of selected works from the 1975 exhibition, with installation views and contextual comparisons, to demonstrate both the historical significance of New Topographics and its continued relevance today. The book also includes an illustrated checklist of the 1975 exhibition and an extensive bibliography.

Arcadia Britannica: A Modern British Folklore Portrait	Thames and Hudson
Автор: Bourne Henry Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2015	PDF, 192 страницы, 5.76 МБ 5 Оценка:
Folklore is a living cultural heritage. Folk beliefs, customs and expressions link the past to the present and help us understand our specific cultures, as well as a shared humanity. Founded on pagan Celtic, Germanic and early Christian roots, British folklore, far from being a quaint anachronism, remains vibrant and relevant by adapting to new circumstances, with the folk (people), and the lore (stories) continually informing and influencing each other. There are many recorded folk events, rites and customs practised in the UK each year, with some events drawing crowds of thousands. Most involve dance, theatre, music and a fair amount of good-natured revelry. Henry Bournes folklore portraits, shot in the wild at key events and festivals, take an affectionate look at the people from Morris dancers to practising witches and warlocks who shy away from a world increasingly disconnected from nature and those who actively celebrate a rich tradition that honours our connection with the seasons, the land and community.

Egon Schiele: Almost a Lifetime	Thames and Hudson
Автор: Bauer Christian Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2015	DjVu, 304 страницы, 12.16 МБ 0 Оценка:
Today Egon Schiele (1890-1918) is celebrated as an artist at the forefront of the international stage, although he spent almost his entire life in Lower Austria and Vienna. This publication uses the most recent sources and previously unpublished photographs to show how Schiele developed essential elements of his expressive art and how influential it remains to this day. For Egon Schiele Lower Austria represented both the world in which he lived and a space of yearning. He spent almost his entire life in this region, between Tulln, Krems, Klosterneuburg, Neulengbach, Muhling and Vienna. These landscapes and towns are therefore important milestones in the artists development. In addition to the individual creative periods and places, this volume also explores previously neglected influences such as his interest in X-rays and the art of Franz von Stuck. The reader discovers how Schiele developed his expressive art from the scientific and cultural currents of his time and the degree to which his Lower Austrian oeuvre continues to set international standards.

Art Since 1989	Thames and Hudson
Автор: Grovier Kelly Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2015	PDF, 224 страницы, 6.72 МБ 0 Оценка:
The years since 1989 have seen a complete untethering of what art can be, who makes it and where it can be found, which has been matched by a reassessment of art's appropriate place in society and the financial value that should be attached to it. In this new book in the World of Art series, Kelly Grovier surveys the dynamic developments in art practice worldwide since 1989, going in search of those artists who have undertaken to shape a fresh visual vocabulary and whose work reflects on these turbulent years. The book's ten chapters examine the key themes in contemporary art, from portraiture in the age of face transplants and facial recognition software, to political activism, science and religion. Artists discussed include Jeff Koons, Louise Bourgeois, Damien Hirst, George Condo, Marlene Dumas, Sean Scully, Cindy Sherman, Banksy, Ai Weiwei, Antony Gormley, Christo and Jean-Claude, Jenny Holzer, Chuck Close and Cornelia Parker. The final chapter, a timeline, traces the evolution of art practice in this period by looking closely at one key artwork from each year.

It also approaches architecture from more unconventional angles with spreads that show the kinds of architecture favoured by dictators, the networks of love affairs that architects got entangled in; the defining facial features of famous architects and so on. Irreverent and entertaining, this book will appeal to all those with an interest in architecture or infographics.
