Holy Places, Sacred Sites: A Journey to the World's Most Spiritual Locations Holy Places, Sacred Sites: A Journey to the World's Most Spiritual Locations
Автор: Жанр: Thames&Hudson Издательство: Thames&Hudson Год: 2008 Страниц: 240 Дата загрузки: 22 марта 2011
   From Argentina to Australia, the Vatican City to Vietnam — Holy Places, Sacred Sites is an uplifting photographic journey to the sacred monuments, locations and landscapes of world spirituality and a thought-provoking meditation on mankind’s religious impulse. Eduardo Rubio Mendéz travelled the length and breadth of the world for three years, taking over 70,000 photographs. His mission? To search for God and the gods, as well as those who believe in them, and live with them and off them. His journey took him to all the most holy places of the earth, from the banks of the Ganges to the Australian outback, from Gothic cathedrals to rudimentary places of worship in the Andes, and revealed a whole host of legends. In the process he met and photographed people who seek in their gods meaning, redemption, consolation – and miracles. The transcendent photographs he took on his pilgrimage portray spaces of nature and humanity: all are imbued with a sacred atmosphere that overflows from within. Eduardo Rubio Mendéz has published several books, including Indira Gandhi, Niños and Guatemala. Juan Masiá Clavel is Director of the Department of Bioethics in the Institute of Life Sciences at Tokyo’s Sophia University.

Автор: Жанр: Thames&Hudson Издательство: Thames&Hudson Год: 1990 Страниц: 144 Дата загрузки: 16 мая 2009
   Born in 1932 in Pennsylvania, Duane Michals has become best known for his compelling narrative sequences, including The Voyage of the Spirit After Death, Paradise Regained and The Fallen Angel. His oeuvre reflects a haunting obsession with life and death, fantasy and reality – thematic opposites expressed through his technical use of double exposures, superimposed images, props, mirrors and the ambiguous notations that often appear on the margins of the photographs. 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.

   This breathtaking volume will be relished by anyone, especially anyone interested in art in the 21st century. Realism, and so Exactitude, has played an important role in art history ever since the beginnings of the use of perspective in art. Here, John Russell Taylor charts artists' endeavours to re-create the smallest detail, dating back to centuries before photography to the present day. This book has been published to complement a series of shows at the Plus One Gallery in London of contemporary artists working in a figurative, hyperrealist style called Exactitude. Such works show wide diversity – including still lifes, extreme close-ups, large-scale cityscapes, landscapes and commercial packaging. Among the artists included are Pedro Campos, Clive Head, Ben Johnson, David Ligare, Cynthia Poole, John Salt, Cesar Santander, Ben Schonzeit and Tjalf Sparnaay, who come from all around the world, but are united here by their meticulous approach to their work, whether depicting, among many different subjects, American diners, book spines, portraits or car engines. John Russell Taylor is a distinguished critic and author. Maggie Bollaert is the Director of the Plus One Gallery.

China at the Court of the Emperors: Unknown Masterpieces from Han Tradition to Tang Elegance China at the Court of the Emperors: Unknown Masterpieces from Han Tradition to Tang Elegance
Автор: Жанр: Thames&Hudson Издательство: Thames&Hudson Год: 2009 Страниц: 320 Дата загрузки: 19 марта 2012
   China at the Court of the Emperors presents almost two hundred masterpieces, various in form and rich in beauty, coming from thirty-two museums and institutes in Shaanxi, Henan, Gansu, and Jiangsu provinces, many of them never seen in the West before. It examines the vast period from the Eastern Han dynasty (25–220) through the Tang (618–907), during which Chinese civilization underwent radical transformation. As a matter of fact, Tang China synthesized foreign and indigenous elements that had been present for centuries, thus creating a new, distinctive, and extraordinary cosmopolitan civilization, made possible by tolerance—a message as important today as it was 1,500 years ago. The book includes essays by some of the foremost experts in the field, including Roderick Whitfield (School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London), Felix Schoeber (University of Westminster, London), Lillian Lan-ying Tseng (Yale University), Nicola di Cosmo (Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton), Stefano Zacchetti (Università Ca’ Foscari, Venice), and Chao-Hui Jenny Liu (New York University).
 
Picturing New York: Photographs from The Museum of Modern Art Picturing New York: Photographs from The Museum of Modern Art
Автор: Жанр: Thames&Hudson Издательство: Thames&Hudson Год: 2009 Страниц: 152 Дата загрузки: 16 декабря 2011
   The photographer Berenice Abbott once mused, «How shall the two-dimensional print in black-and-white suggest the flux of activity of the metropolis, the interaction of human beings and solid architectural constructions, all impinging upon each other in time?» Picturing New York presents a myriad of answers to this question. Depicting both the iconic New York that captivates the world's imagination and the idiosyncratic details that define New Yorkers' sense of home, this anthology of photographs from The Museum of Modern Art's extraordinary collection reveals New York in all its vitality, ambition and beauty. Taken by artists pursuing their own curiosity as well as professionals on assignment, the works reveal a deeply symbiotic relationship between photography and the city, each delving into a new corner of New York while expanding the boundaries of photography as an art form. The selection comprises both celebrated images and lesser-known gems from the collection, accompanied by evocative excerpts from literary works about New York.

   Long considered the father of English watercolor painting, Paul Sandby (1731–1809) painted views throughout Britain, finding new scenes in a country undergoing rapid social and commercial development, and portraying familiar ones with a fresh eye. Encompassing rural, urban, modern, and historical themes, his art is unrivalled among that of his contemporaries for its remarkable range. Today, Sandby’s paintings appear in collections around the globe, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art, Washington, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. In this comprehensive survey of Sandby’s life and work, published to celebrate the artist’s bicentenary, leading authorities draw on new research to offer fresh perspectives on the development of eighteenth-century British art and the Sandby’s role in popularizing and professionalizing the medium of watercolor. The authors also explore the artist’s influence as a teacher and his innovations in printmaking, as well as the cultural and geographical scope of his work.
 
Moscow: Splendours of the Romanovs Moscow: Splendours of the Romanovs
Автор: Жанр: Thames&Hudson Издательство: Thames&Hudson Год: 2009 Страниц: 304 Дата загрузки: 7 декабря 2011
   A lavishly illustrated survey of the Romanovs' era which symbolizes almost three centuries of Russian artistic riches. «The Romanov dynasty reigned over Russia for three hundred years. Every sovereign was crowned in the cathedral of the Kremlin. The coronation ceremonies were used to return the former capital to the lustre it had lost to Saint Petersburg. This exhibition catalogue rediscovers a Moscow that is frequently overlooked by visitors and, through the works of art embodying the dynasty, reveals the reign of the Romanovs.» Brigitte de Montclos. Between 1820 and 1860, Moscow saw the blossoming of Russian literature, music, painting, architecture, and the minor arts, leading to the famous pan-Russian exhibition of 1882. During these years the imperial family, and subsequently the grand families surrounding the Tsar, commissioned works from such celebrated manufacturers as Baccarat, Cartier, and Faberge. The beauty and soul of the objects presented here re-create a genuine Russian atmosphere evoking the ceremony of the Orthodox liturgy, the splendors of court life, the magnificence of the interiors of the palaces in which the imperial family resided, and the international influence of Moscow, which became a hub of modern art and Constructivism in the first years of the twentieth century. The extraordinary photographic archive belonging to the Musee de l'Elysee in Lausanne and the film archive from the Russian Federation at Krasnogorsk plunge the reader into the intimate circle of Tsar Nicolas II, the last of the Romanovs, and his family.

Spirit: Garden Inspiration Spirit: Garden Inspiration
Автор: Жанр: Thames&Hudson Издательство: Thames&Hudson Год: 2009 Страниц: 208 Дата загрузки: 17 сентября 2014
   Taking inspiration from art, sculpture, Chicago prairies and folk architecture such as tree houses, Dan Pearson--acclaimed garden designer and «green-fingered guru» at the U.K. newspaper The Observer--lays out his design philosophy and working process, giving readers direct insight into his collaborative approach of working with nature, instead of imposing preconceptions upon it. Journeying from New Zealand to Japan via Thames-side barge gardens, Pearson focuses on the spirit of place as it emerges through geography, history, architecture and native flora, extrapolating this sense of place into a new gardening philosophy. Very far from conventional gardening books, Spirit radically expands the genre, inviting us to understand the act of gardening in the light of contemporary needs and with a keen environmental awareness; Pearson particularly stresses the importance of skills such as being able to «read» a variety of landscapes (both wild and cultivated), and of staying open to what those landscapes suggest in terms of cultivation. This long-awaited publication is Pearson's first in eight years, and uses 400 of his own much-admired photographs as reference points. Dan Pearson began his career as a professional designer in 1987. He is co-author of The Essential Garden Book (with Sir Terence Conran) and author of The Garden: A Year at Home Farm. He has presented and appeared in several TV series and has designed five award-winning Chelsea Flower Show gardens.

   Wallpaper was initially used as an affordable substitute for lavish coverings, such as frescoes, tapestries, leathers, or hangings. Its current form debuted in sixteenth-century England, and its popularity took off at the end of the eighteenth century following advances in reproduction techniques. Wallpaper transformed the world of interiors, offering depth and perspective, creating the illusion of panoramic vistas, and incorporating narrative sequences, collections of engravings, or brief morality or history lessons. It eventually developed into the wide range of styles that have marked four centuries of decorative art, from Raphael to conceptual art, and from frescoes to photography. This stunning contribution to wallpaper’s current revival offers a comprehensive review of a savoir faire that continues to thrive.
