Описание: Founded in 2006, Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture has quickly positioned itself at the forefront of international architecture. This initial volume of the firm's work showcases their innovative approach to architecture, an approach that examines the synergies between the natural and built environments and places performance at the core of every design. In its short history, Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill's work has included myriad typologies and pioneering firsts, including some of the earth's tallest skyscrapers, the highest performing and most efficient buildings, along with master plans and energy platforms for 21st century cities. With each project, Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill seek to elevate both the artistic and scientific parameters of architecture, resulting in groundbreaking design language in which 'form follows performance'
In recent years, the Dallas Museum of Art has expanded its collection of South Asian art from a small number of Indian temple sculptures to nearly 500 works, including Indian Hindu and Buddhist sculptures, Himalayan Buddhist bronze sculptures and ritual objects, artwork from Southeast Asia, and decorative arts from India's Mughal period. Artworks in the collection have origins from the former Ottoman empire to Java, and architectural pieces suggest the grandeur of buildings in the Indian tradition.
This volume details the cultural and artistic significance of more than 140 featured works, which range from Tibetan thangkas and Indian miniature paintings to stone sculptures and bronzes. Relating these works to one another through interconnecting narratives and cross-references, scholars and curators provide a broad cultural history of the region.

Описание: The beautiful diversity of Hopi Kachina dolls is pictorially presented to show past, present, and evolving styles. These carved representations of ceremonial figures taking part in celebration of the Kachina religion are highly collected by Indian and white peoples alike. This book serves to explain, compare, and present the variety of dolls that are found through color pictures, line drawings and a concise text. The carvers are given a great deal of recognition throughout the book as the discussion covers the environment, tools, and prominence of these artists. An appendix lists 495 living artists. An introduction is by Frederick Dockstader, former director to the Museum of the American Indian in New York. Mr. Bromberg, a trader among the Hopi, shares his accumulated respect for the culture and people who produce them. His chapters evolved to answer questions by collectors and gallery workers. The result is a first-hand analysis of this contemporary and still changing art form that has both religious and commercial impact on the Hopi carvers. Only a trusted, sympathetic student of the Hopi culture could have compiled the background interpretations of the dolls and won the respect of the carvers.

Описание: Walter Sickert (1860-1942) was possibly the most important and influential early modern British artist. He belonged to the generation that absorbed the
modernity of late nineteenth-century French art into British painting and printmaking. His outstanding work as a printmaker has been largely overlooked and unexplored until
now.
This book and catalogue raisonni bring together for the first time the substantial body of 226 prints by Sickert, along with their numerous different states, many in rare or
unique impressions, and reveals the unorthodox and experimental techniques Sickert used frequently 'in dialogue' with related paintings and drawings. Ruth Bromberg describes here
the subject matter and techniques for each print in relation to Sickert's oeuvre. She also discusses the evolution of Sickert's career in printmaking; the influences on his work of Whistler
and Degas, whom Sickert knew; his working procedures; and his innovative techniques and style in engraving, etching, aquatint, soft ground etching, and lithography.
She
explores the varied settings of his prints - which include early London and Dieppe street scenes, seascapes in Holland and famous views of Venice as well as those of the music hall, a
lifelong passion, numerous portraits and his controversial pictures of shabby interiors depicting nude prostitutes and clothed men.
