Описание: "Art and Photography" surveys a rich and important history, from the 1960s to the 21st century. Arranged thematically, it presents works by the most significant international artists who have explored and extended the boundaries of photography. This influential body of work by over 160 artists over four decades is contextualised in t "Documents" section by original artist's statements and interviews, as well as lucid reflections on photography by major thinkers of our era such as Roland Barthes and Jean Baudrillard. Today photography is art's pre-eminent medium. Photography pervades our visual culture. It has become what painting was in previous centuries: a universal language. Today's photographers are internationally admired as "the painters of modern life". Yet it took the whole of the 20th century for photography to reach this status. On its invention, the photograph was derided as a purely mechanical, "artless" medium which could never be considered among the fine arts. As the 20th century unfolded, Modernist movements experimented with the photograph and expanded its limits, yet still the art establishment held out. Only recently have the majority of art museums begun acquiring works of photography. In 1976, when the Museum of Modern Art, New York - one of the first institutions to collect photographs - staged a retrospective of the American colour photographer William Eggleston, this was a groundbreaking event: it was the first time colour photography had been exhibited, as art, in a major museum. This moment in the 1970s marked a dramatic sea change, but the tides had begun to turn in the early 1960s, when artists such as Andy Warhol, Ed Ruscha and Gerhard Richter used the everyday, mass-produced quality of the snapshot as a basis for their work. From this early adoption of photography for its "artless" qualities, artists have explored photography extensively ever since, ranging from Richard Prince and Cindy Sherman's reflections on the visual messages of film and advertising, to the richly layered, 'painterly' genres of portraiture, landscape and still life in the work of Nan Goldin, Andreas Gursky, Roni Horn, Wolfgang Tillmans, Jeff Wall and others who have brought photography full circle, to the roles that painting fulfilled in past centuries.

Описание: This book presents, in a portable, affordable format, a critical overview of the most influential figures in international design of the 20th century, from artists such as Alexander Rodchenko to graphic designers such as Paul Rand. The author, Sergio Polano, is a respected historian and critic of architecture and design, and his texts are both historical in nature and aimed for a popular rather than a specialist audience. Some of the essays in this book are well known, having been published previously; others were originally delivered as lectures; and still others are previously unpublished. The book opens with a summary of the main problems faced by a designer working in the field of graphics. This is followed by a series of concise, extensively illustrated sections examining the work of the principal graphic designers of the 20th century, from Peter Behrens to Tibor Kalman, from El Lissitzky to Max Huber, and from Alexander Rodchenko to Ed Fella. The images and extended captions selected and compiled by Pierpaolo Vetta supplement and illustrate the subjects covered by the texts.

Описание: The 20 houses in this book represent a cross-section of the most innovative residential design completed worldwide since the 1990s by some of the most talked-about architects working today. Included are celebrated architects such as Rem Koolhaas, Steven Holl, and Richard Meier, as well as emerging talents such as fABRica de Arquitectura in Mexico and Graham Phillips in England. Houses are located in widely diverse areas - from the heart of Manhattan to the seaside in Greece, and from the Spanish countryside to the suburbs of London. Beginning where Modernism left off, these architects are using the private house as a laboratory to explore new issues in domestic living. The book begins with an introduction that discusses the profound changes that are now taking place in the institution of the family, in its makeup, in the rhythms of its daily life and in the forms of its leisure and work. Each house is showcased on 12 pages that open with a brief project description, biographical profile of the architect, and project data. The following spreads present plans, elevations, and sections, and full-colour photographs.

Описание: Antoni Gaudi is now recognized as one of the masters of modern architecture, with his organic, vinelike forms, sensuous wooden interiors, and brilliantly coloured mosaics expressing a synthesis of international modernism and local Catalan artistic traditions. A builder by instinct and practice, Gaudi's artistic sensibilities were among the most imaginative and baroque of any modern architect. His work is instantly recognizable, in particular his last, uncompleted work, the strange and massive cathedral of the Sagrada Familia, with its sandcastle-like dripping towers. His iconic Casa Batllo (1907), an apartment building resembling a pile of gracefully draped stones hugging a corner of the Paseo de Gracia, has become a symbol of Barcelona. His Guell Park (1915), built originally for an important patron and Catalan industrialist for whom the architect built several other works, has recently been restored and is open to the public. Despite his current renown, critical recognition of his talent and significance came late, as the architecture establishment had difficulty fitting him into the canon of the Modern Movement. Gaudi's was a truly unique oeuvre, and this account of his work examines his work in the context of his life and times. He came of age during a time of rising Catalan nationalism and the flowering of a uniquely Catalan culture that mixed art nouveau with Mediterranean traditions; Barcelona at the turn of the century rivalled Paris as a centre of art, music, literature, and avant-garde publishing. Gaudi absorbed this culture and was a committed nationalist as a young man, but in later life he turned to Catholicism and became deeply religious and ascetic. His eclectic practice mixed forms from the past in a complex experimentation with space, materials, and decoration: this kind of artistic freedom was made possible only by unusual social conditions including Barcelona's economic prosperity at the turn of the century and the existence of highly skilled artisans in Catalonia. This volume analyzes Gaudi's work systematically and in detail, from the Guell Palace to the Guell Park, through to the Sagrada Familia.

Описание: The origins of European architecture lie in Greece and Asia Minor, where architecture achieved a remarkable level of sophisticatioy the sixth century BC. It blossomed and developed for over 500 years, spreading Greek influence to many parts of the Mediterranean world, especially Rome. This illustrated study begins with Mycenean architecture (c 1500-1100 BC), the earliest known Greek style. The author describes the Cretan palaces and those of Mycenae, Tiryns and Pylos on the mainland and also examines the links with Minoan Crete in the latter half of the 2nd millenium BC. The author then considers the main period of design in two separate sections devoted to classical and Hellenistic architecture, considering buildings in their political, social and religious context. Secular buildings such as theatres, stadia, forts and bouleuteria are given close attention in the way they helped the Greek city emerge as the dominant political entity. Martin also discusses religious buildings ranging the archaic temples at Corinth to the fifth century buildings on the Acropolis at Athens and the Hellenistic temples at Segesta and Didyma. The text is complemented with a number of plans, elevations, reconstructions and photographs. Roland Martyn has taken part in excavations on Thasos and Delos and was head of the Faculty of Archaeology at Dijon and later Director at the Ecole Practique des Hautes-Etudes at the Sorbonne in Paris.

Описание: Known primarily for one of the most widely used architectural treatises of the early modeperiod, Sebastiano Serlio was also an architect of some renown in his own day. This book explores his works and career. Examining his formation in Italy, first in Bologna and then in Rome, Sabina Frommel focuses principally on Serlio's career in France, where through works such as the residence of Ippolito D'Este in Fontainbleau and the Castle of Ancy-le-Franc, he had a profound impact on French architecture. She traces his development from the classicizing manner of his early career to his later works, where he participates in the capricious tastes that were common in both Italy and France during the mid-sixteenth century.
