Описание: In the artistic life of Toulouse-Lautrec-brief yet exceptionally rich in innovative ideas and techniques- the female figure reigns supreme. Rarely has an artist simultaneously mythicised and de-mythicised the image of Woman with such obsessive desire, such passionate fantasy, such rapture and disillusion - and yet at the same time with such sensitivity, perspicacity, clarity and sincerity. Lautrec painted Woman in countless different compositions, but always with her truth as the unfaltering guide.
Описание: Why did the work of Dante Gabriel Rossetti come to dominate the cultural geography of England between 1850 and 1910? And why, having attained that kind
of eminence, did Rossetti's star decline so precipitously with the advent of Modernism? Finally, what is there about Rossetti's work and its historical aftermath that makes these questions
important ones to ask? The cultural and aesthetic problems raised by those questions are the subject of this fascinating book. Jerome McGann, an eminent authority on Rossetti,
demonstrates the programmatic aims of Rossetti's innovative multimedia work by focusing on two issues, one philosophical and one cultural. First, McGann shows how in Rossetti's work
high-order thinking processes are modeled and executed as aesthetic practices.
Second, from Rossetti's Pre-Raphaelite 'art of the inner standing point' McGann argues that
Rossetti forces a revision of the cultural norms commonly used for evaluating artistic success and failure.

Описание: Sixty years after his father left to be a mapmaker in the war in Europe, Emerson Johansson received a package that had been lost in the mail for decades. The package contained a most extraordinary gift: an exquisite book Johansson s father lovingly handmade detailing an extraordinary adventure they shared together just months before his departure. This book tells the tale of how father and son set out into the mountains on Christmas Eve to cut a tree, but get caught in a dangerous blizzard. Lost in the snow, they are helped by a mysterious figure, a silvery man who does not speak but leaves them a series of gifts that help them survive and who ultimately leads them home in an almost magical way. The enigmatic man's image is not captured in the photographs the boy took with his new camera, pictures he believed, until now, were long lost. Little did he know that his father had taken the photographs, and drawing on vellum overlays from his own memory of that night's events, meticulously reconstructed, mapped, and narrated their adventure, revealing that the curious man in the woods was, in fact, no stranger, but somebody well known to us all. This book, destined to become a Christmas classic, is a faithful facsimile of the magnificent handcrafted present Johnasson s father sent him, and a poignant reminder that the best gifts, of memory, family, and the kindness of strangers, transcend time but never our understanding.

Описание: This beguiling book asks a set of unusual and fascinating questions - why is early Chinese printing so little acknowledged, despite anticipating Gutenberg by centuries? Why are the religious elements of early printing overlooked? And why did printing in China not have the immediate obvious impact it did in Europe? T. H. Barrett, a leading scholar of medieval China, brings us the answers through the intriguing story of Empress Wu (625-705 AD) and the revolution in printing that occurred during her rule. Linking Asian and European history with substantial new research into Chinese sources, Barrett identifies methods of transmitting texts before printing and explains the historical context of seventh-century China. He explores the dynastic reasons behind Empress Wu's specific interest in printing and the motivating role of her private religious beliefs. As Renaissance Europe was later astonished to learn of China's achievement, so today's reader will be fascinated by this engaging perspective on the history of printing and the technological superiority of Empress Wu's China. T. H. Barrett is Professor of East Asian History at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. Among his books are 'Li Ao: Buddhist, Taoist, or Neo-Confucian?', 'Taoism Under the T'ang', and, with Peter Hobson, 'Poems of Hanshan'. He serves on the editorial boards of 'Buddhist Studies Review' and 'Modern Asian Studies'.

Описание: Neasden Control Centre was the first book to feature the artist project of the same name. It shows how NCC uses talent, technique and a childlike perspective to create works that mix drawing, graphic design and art. Because these multi-disciplinary works are exactly in tune with the zeitgeist, the book achieved cult status in the design scene and is one of the most sought after out-of-print titles at dgv. Lost Control is the self-deprecating title of the new publication from the Neasden Headquarters. The book presents graphic design, installations and collages in NCC s incomparable style that always comes across as simultaneously spontaneous and calculated. These seemingly contradictory, but in NCC s work so coherently united characteristics give their work a powerful appeal. They are not only influencing creatives from around the world today, but are also increasingly recognised by clients such as Volkswagen and international museums such as the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art. The majority of work featured in Lost Control was created by Neasden Control Centre exclusively for this book and is complemented by images from current commercial and artistic projects.
