Volume 9: Aesthetics and Philosophy of Art
ISBN: 9781402050688 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 414 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The present volume is a continuation of the series Contemporary Philosophy.

New Tendencies in Mexican Art: The 1990's
ISBN: 9781403961006 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 183 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Since the 1980s there has been considerable interest in Mexico and its art, as one can see from the sheer number of exhibitions, catalogues, and articles devoted to the subject.

Mariko Mori
ISBN: 9783775719674 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. One of the best-known Japanese artists of the international scene, Mariko Mori, born in 1967 in Tokyo, envisions fantastical worlds and beings in spectacular photographs and videos--frequently casting herself amid these scenarios as a Björk-esque avatar in biomorphic and technological symbiosis. Mori studied fashion design in Tokyo, worked briefly as a model and later studied fine art in England, and this early education is visible in her elaborately produced photographs, videos and sculpture that are as reminiscent of Hollywood as they are of contemporary art. Her recent work involves...

ISBN: 9783829603348 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Eberhard Havekost is the youthful shooting star of the internationally acclaimed Leipzig School. His images, dubbed -photoshop realism- by critics are cool and distanced. Havekost makes the on-screen computer image the direct subject of his painting. The user interface is his painterly theme and how the images appear on it, electronically manipulated, or rather beautified and illuminated from behind. Simple, almost trivial objects filtered electronically and mutated are painted to canvas by Havekost. Mutants of reality transformed into paintings that exude a mysterious bleakness. Our book,...
