Listening to Stone: The Art and Life of Isamu Noguchi
ISBN: 9780374535988 / Angielski / Miękka / 592 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A master of what he called "the sculpturing of space," Isamu Noguchi was a vital figure for modern public art. Born to an American mother and a Japanese father, Noguchi never felt like he belonged anywhere and spent his life assembling identities in his statues, monuments, and gardens. He traveled incessantly from New York to remote Japanese islands, from Paris to Bangladesh, synthesizing aesthetic values. The result--massive sculptures of interlocking wood, Zen-like gardens of granite, and stone slides--is now seen as a powerful artistic link between East and West. Drawing on...

Between 1850 and 1876, a community of talented... This project is made possible through support from the Terra Foundation for American Art. When Elizabeth Cady Stanton penned the Declaration ... |

Roland Paris: The Art Deco Jester King
ISBN: 9781851498239 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Roland Paris is one of the most recognizable artists of the Art Deco world, yet his work remains something of an enigma. His art is caricature-like, bordering grotesque, and he delivers critical perspectives on society's downtrodden via jesters and devils. His mediums range from sculpture and painting to porcelain and wood, including woodcuts and the written word. This never before seen study focusses on the artist's trials and tribulations while living in Nazi-ruled Germany, and the tragic end to his life, hours before the end of World War Two.

Stuart Haygarth: Strand
ISBN: 9781908970251 / Angielski / Twarda / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In February 2011, British artist and designer Stuart Haygarth (born 1966) did an unusual thing: he started to walk along the entire coast of southern England, with the goal of collecting every man-made item that he came across. He had a purpose in mind, for Haygarth gathers discarded or overlooked objects and elevates them into art, making exquisite artefacts and stunning installations out of common detritus and everyday waste. Yet his practice is as much about the process of collecting and collating materials as it is about the creation of value or beauty. For Strand--the Old English...

Rodins Gipse: Urspruenge Moderner Plastik
ISBN: 9783631524053 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) gilt als Wegbereiter der modernen Plastik. Allein mit der Entwicklung des Torso als selbstandiges Werk beschritt Rodin die Schwelle zur Abstraktion. Unbeachtet blieb bisher, dass diese Innovation oder auch die Bildung von Assemblagen aus der intensiven Arbeit mit Gips resultierten. In den Gipsen wird wie in keinem anderen Medium Rodins Modernitat evident, in ihnen kristallisiert sich seine kunstlerische Progressivitat. Bereits zu Rodins Lebzeiten wurden offentlich prasentierte Gipse von Kritikern und Publikum kontrovers diskutiert. Doch die Kunstgeschichte behandelt...

Histories of sculpture within the Nordic region are under-studied and the region s influence upon and translation of influences from elsewhere in Europe remain insufficiently traced.

Examining the movement of sculptures, sculptors, practices, skills, styles and motifs across borders, through studios and public architectures, within popular and print culture and via texts, the essays collected here consider the extent to which the sculptural artwork is changed by its physical movement...

Sculpture and Touch
ISBN: 9781409412311 / Angielski / Twarda / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since the Renaissance, at least, the medium of sculpture has been associated explicitly with the sense of touch. Sculptors, philosophers and art historians have all linked the two, often in strikingly different ways. In spite of this long running interest in touch and tactility, it is vision and visuality which have tended to dominate art historical research in recent decades. This book introduces a new impetus to the discussion of the relationship between touch and sculpture by setting up a dialogue between art historians and individuals with fresh insights who are working in disciplines...
