Автор: Жанр: Thames&Hudson Издательство: Thames&Hudson Год: 2008 Страниц: 256 Дата загрузки: 26 мая 2011
   Profiling Britain’s most dynamic and intriguing practices, 'Anglo Files' follows the successful formula of 'SuperDutch' and 'Swiss Made', presenting the best up-and-coming architects at work in the UK today. Unique to this survey of young British architects is the synthesis of foreign cultures with local conditions and sensibility; many of the architects featured here hail originally from outside the UK. Fourteen studios are fully profiled, each presented in recent projects shown in detail through photographs, plans and computer renderings. The profiles are bookended by two essays, one that considers the context for the work, and one that discusses a number of fledgling studios who are beginning to make a mark in the fields of urban design and public housing. The distinctive qualities of this book, together with its relevance to contemporary architectural practice everywhere, will make it a core volume for every architecture list.

   Susan Herbert’s innovative, witty and hugely popular renderings of cats in human situations, from Shakespearean drama to masterpieces of Western art, have won her a large and admiring public. Now she draws on her lifelong fascination with cinema to give us a series of scenes from classic films – all with cats playing the leading roles. Here is an irresistible array of well-known characters, from the silent films of the 1920s through big-budget musicals and the lure of the Wild West to contemporary hit films. Here are flirting, dancing, detecting and menacing cats: a beguiling flower seller in Covent Garden, a seductive older woman and a young graduate, a hard-boiled private eye with a falcon.... Susan Herbert studied at the Ruskin School of Art. Having worked for the English National Opera and the Theatre Royal, she now specializes in limited edition prints of theatrical animals and exhibits frequently.
 
Gustav Klimt: Drawings and Watercolors Gustav Klimt: Drawings and Watercolors
Автор: Жанр: Thames&Hudson Издательство: Thames&Hudson Год: 2005 Страниц: 400 Дата загрузки: 15 июня 2009
   The best of Klimt's drawings and watercolors, beautifully reproduced in full color. There is no doubt about Gustav Klimt's greatness as a draftsman. Remarkable above all is the intensely sensual mood that he establishes in his limpid, fluid drawings and watercolors: the pencil or crayon line with which his subjects are described explores and caresses as though the act of drawing was itself a seduction. Klimt's drawings are often highly erotic and explicit, many to such an extent that they have rarely been reproduced. This has made for an unbalanced representation of his work as a draftsman, and a comprehensive survey of his graphic output is long overdue. Rainer Metzger, a noted art historian, has brought together hundreds of Klimt's drawings and watercolors in a way that enriches our knowledge of the artist and enhances the visual impact of his oeuvre. Klimt's drawings and studies, and his elegantly direct and dangerously intoxicating preparatory sketches, reveal the underlying impetus for and structure of his elaborate canvases. 307 color illustrations.

Venice: The City by Night Venice: The City by Night
Автор: Жанр: Thames&Hudson Издательство: Thames&Hudson Год: 2006 Страниц: 120 Дата загрузки: 11 августа 2008
   These moody, monochrome landscapes speak of an Italy far removed from the familiar, tourist images. Mostly ‘empty’ – without people – they highlight the intrinsic beauty of Venice itself, and capture the timelessness of the city throughout the centuries. Juxtaposing black and white photographs of traditional, theatrical Venice with images of the city’s industrial area, Marghera, this is a hauntingly beautiful and utterly original take on one of the world’s most photographed cities. Luca Campigotto was born in Venice in 1962. His work has been exhibited extensively in Italy and abroad, and he is the author of several books, including Venetia Obscura and Molino Stucky 1895–1995.

Turner in his Time Turner in his Time
Автор: Жанр: Thames&Hudson Издательство: Thames&Hudson Год: 2006 Страниц: 256 Дата загрузки: 25 июня 2008
   The originality of Turner’s technique alone puts him high in the canon of great artists, but his subject-matter gains additional interest with an understanding of his enormous appetite for travel. In this book, over 150 of his works of every type are lavishly displayed and superbly reproduced. For over forty years, from the 1790s to his old age in the 1840s, he made regular tours in Britain and on the Continent, chiefly in France, Switzerland, Germany and Italy, with repeated visits to Venice in his later years. Using Turner’s own writings, letters, notes and verse; recorded impressions by his contemporaries; and reviews of his exhibited works, Andrew Wilton builds up a picture of a man of many secrets. A comprehensive chronology, illustrated with portraits of Turner and his associates and views of places with which he was connected, sets out his travels, exhibitions and projects. Light is shed on the private man by a list of the books in his library and even an inventory of the contents of his London house. Here is a book of the widest appeal, on an artist who, two centuries after he came to prominence, is finding new converts wherever his work is shown. Andrew Wilton was the first Curator of the Clore Gallery for the Turner Collection at the Tate, London, where he is continuing to catalogue the Turner Bequest. He is the author of many works on the artist, including the standard catalogue of the watercolours.

Courbet Courbet

   Linda Nochlin is one of the most influential art historians of our time. For more than four decades, she has been at the forefront of the feminist critique of art history, playing a pivotal role in shaping the course of the discipline. Since completing a doctorate on Gustave Courbet in the early 1960s, she has devoted herself to a lifelong study of the artist, arguably the most radical of all nineteenth-century painters and one of the fathers of modern art. Now, in this extraordinary volume, Nochlin presents her complete writings on Courbet’s work. Every aspect of his œuvre – from his vast realist depictions of provincial French life, allegorical works and paint-encrusted landscapes to his dark, brooding portraits, sensual nudes and earthy still lifes – comes under her scrutiny. In a specially written introduction, Nochlin considers Courbet’s lasting impact not only on later painting but also on the practice of art history itself. With essays spanning forty years, Courbet is much more than a monograph on a single artist. It is also the story of the intellectual development of one of our leading writers on the visual arts. Linda Nochlin is the Lila Acheson Wallace Professor of Modern Art at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University.

Enclosure: Andy Goldsworthy Enclosure: Andy Goldsworthy
Автор: Жанр: Thames&Hudson Издательство: Thames&Hudson Год: 2007 Страниц: 192 Дата загрузки: 15 июля 2008
   In the early 1990s Andy Goldsworthy was invited to propose a project for Cumbria, a region of outstanding natural beauty where the landscape has been moulded for centuries by agriculture and in particular by sheep-farming. His response was to repair or rebuild a swathe of Cumbrian sheepfolds – with the intention that, wherever possible the folds would still be accessible to sheep. Among the sculptures are slate works and balanced stones embedded in walls and a series of sixteen folds each containing a massive boulder rolled down from the nearby hillside. By 2006 over forty structures had been completed: it is this extraordinary project that forms the core of Enclosure. This impressive volume is testament to Goldsworthy's lifelong interest in the land, its history and its inhabitants. Andy Goldsworthy, the internationally renowned sculptor, was born in Cheshire in 1956. There are regular exhibitions of his work in Britain, France, The United States and elsewhere. Although he travels all over the world to carry out his commissions, the landscape around his home in south-west Scotland, remains at the heart of his work.
 
The Poetic Home The Poetic Home
Автор: Жанр: Thames&Hudson Издательство: Thames&Hudson Год: 2009 Страниц: 352 Дата загрузки: 24 июля 2010
   Today we take for granted notions of designing rooms to achieve the right ‘mood’. Yet this language only emerged in the 19th century, when designers and clients began to think about interiors in a completely new way. Their challenge was to create atmosphere and character in ordinary living – the new ideal of the ‘poetic home’. This book examines domestic interiors from around 1800 to the mid-1890s. Rather than concentrating on individual types of furnishing (wallpapers or carpets, for example) or on historical styles (Regency or Biedermeier), it considers the design of the interior as a whole, making use of neglected 19th-century texts and images to reveal what the designers and clients actually thought about the business of creating characterful interiors. Stefan Muthesius is Honorary Professor in the School of World Art Studies and Museology at the University of East Anglia, Norwich. He has written several award-winning books, including The English Terraced House, and is co-author of Victorian Architecture, published by Thames & Hudson in the World of Art series.

   »I have drawn all my life. I began withdrawing: I have never stopped drawing.»—Auguste Rodin From the «black» drawings contemporaneous with the Gates of Hell to his great watercolor nudes, this book reproduces hundreds of Auguste Rodin's most beautiful graphic works held in the collection of the Musée Rodin, a number of which are published here for the first time. The accompanying essays analyze the complex relationships between Rodin's drawings and his sculptures, the problems of attribution, and the role of sensuality in his work. Rodin's rich graphic oeuvre has until now been a little-known aspect of his art, yet it is crucial to a full understanding of his work. This book will be essential reading for anyone interested in the great sculptor's achievements.

Автор: Жанр: Thames&Hudson Издательство: Thames&Hudson Год: 2006 Страниц: 352 Дата загрузки: 24 сентября 2011
   This is an indispensable resource for all collectors, connoisseurs and students of Chinese ceramics, as well as anyone with an interest in Asia’s rich cultural heritage. In over 700 specially taken colour photographs a wide range of imperial and regional, decorative and practical, export and domestic, ceremonial and funerary wares are fully represented, organized into chronological sections, from the Neolithic to the end of the Qing dynasty, each accompanied by a survey of the period and detailed descriptions of the pieces illustrated. Systematic study of Chinese ceramics, begun in the eighteenth century, was greatly enlarged in the twentieth century, and extensive excavations at kiln sites have yielded invaluable new insights into the chronological development of ceramic forms, glaze types and decorative styles. Drawing on the extraordinary collection housed in the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, this remarkable book cites the latest scientific and archaeological evidence, examining provenance, technique, archaeological and historical context, and ancient traditions of Chinese connoisseurship and patronage to provide an integrated and highly detailed approach to the subject. The notes on the plates are further illustrated with photographs of base marks, a vital aid in the identification process. An important reference section includes a glossary of technical terms, complete with Chinese characters; a bibliography; and lists of major public collections. He Li was born in Shanxi Province, China, in 1950. She was trained at the Palace Museum, Beijing, and the Idemitsu Museum, Tokyo, two of the world’s major repositories of Chinese ceramics. After graduating in Art History from the University of Kansas she joined the staff of the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, where she is Associate Curator of Chinese Art.
