Frank Milner Knihy

Roku 1904 pořádá Henri Matisse v galerii Vollard výstavu, na níž představuje první fauvistické obrazy. Nové čisté a jasné tóny barev fauvismu oznamují nový směr v umění a rebelství proti konvencím. Matisse svým uměním vytvořil barevný svět, ve kterém se utápěly paprsky nekonečného světla. Našel svět, který pohltil diváka svou září a všeobjímajícími osvobozujícími vizemi čistých barev.

This series acts as an introduction to key artists and movements in art history. Each title contains 48 full-page colour plates, accompanied by extensive notes, and numerous comparative illustrations in colour or black and white, a concise introduction, select bibliography and detailed source information for the images. Monographs on individual artists also feature a brief chronology.

Frida Kahlo, with over 80 large-scale full-color plates, illustrates the full range of this vibrant artist's work, from the extraordinary series of self-portraits which she painted over more than 20 years, to those more disturbing and cerebral works which were hailed by her contemporaries as Surrealist. Art historian Frank Milner traces the potent mixture of personal history, cultural inheritance, political commitment and sheer self-conscious myth-making that permeates Kahlo's work, and argues that any attempt to subsume her painting within a particular tradition is doomed to a unique artistic phenomenon.

Art historian, Frank Milner introduces 60 of Van Gogh's most characteristic works in this stunningly illustrated volume.
