The delicate splendour and fairytale beauty of Islamic artThe art which arose from the 7th century in the Islamic empires reached from Spain and Morocco to the borders of China. It bore the stamp above all of Arabs, Persians and Turks, but outstanding contributions also came from Egypt and India. "Islamic Art" presents prominent luxury ceramics, prayer mats, goldsmithery, as well as witnesses to the decorative arts and calligraphy – and above all the masterpieces of the splendidly colourful courtly book illumination of Persia and the Mughal emperors of India. The book examines the contributions of the different countries and how they influenced each other, and in this way vividly illustrates the unfolding of the delicate splendour and fairytale beauty of Islamic art from its beginnings into the modern era.

Spitze Winkel, seltsame Formen, grelle Farben und verzerrte Perspektiven sind typische Merkmale des Expressionismus , jener Bewegung des 20. Jahrhunderts, die Emotionen höher schätzte als Objektivität . Der ästhetische Ansatz der vor allem in Deutschland und Österreich wirkenden Künstler erregte auch international großes Aufsehen und gilt heute als eine der einflussreichsten Paradigmenverschiebungen der gesamten Kunstgeschichte . Die führenden Gruppen Die Brücke und Der Blaue Reiter und maßgebliche Künstler wie Wassily Kandinsky , Egon Schiele und Emil Nolde lehnten den Impressionismus als eine Kunstform ab, in der „der Mensch zu einer Grammofonplatte der Außenwelt degradiert sei“. Stattdessen wollten sie das rohe, unter der glatten Oberfläche brodelnde, wahrhaftige Leben darstellen. Ihre Bilder sind voller emotionaler Kraft, die vor allem durch intensive nicht naturalistische Farbtöne, einen losen Pinselstrich und einen dicken Farbauftrag übermittelt wird. Diese Einführung stellt die wichtigsten Vertreter des Expressionismus vor, erklärt ihre Stilmittel und Einflüsse und erkundet ihr Panorama an Stimmungen, Ideen und Emotionen und ihre Suche nach Authentizität.

"Discover how scenes of daily life and delicate dabs of color shocked the art world establishment. In this introduction to Impressionism, we explore the artists, subjects, and techniques that first brought the easel out of the studio and shifted artistic attention from history, religion, or portraiture to the evanescent ebb and flow of modern life. As we tour the theaters, bars, and parks of Paris and beyond, we take in the movement's radical innovations in style and subject, from the principle of plein air painting to the rapid, broken brushwork that allowed the Impressionists to emphasize spontaneity, movement, and the changing qualities of light. We take a close look at their unusual new perspectives and their fresh palette of pure, unblended colors, including many vivid shades that brought a whole new level of chromatic intensity to the canvas. Along the way, we recognized Impressionism's established greats, such as Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, and Camille Pissarro, as well as many associated artists worthy of closer attention, including Marie Bracquemond, Medardo Rosso, and Fritz von Udhe." -- Provided by publisher

Zářivka běžně dostupná v obchodech upevněná diagonálně na zeď, neopracované dřevěné trámy nebo kovové desky, které na zemi vytvářejí nekomplikované. obrazce, bedny z kovu či plexiskla seřazené jednoduše vedle sebe, krychle a jiné základní stereo metrické útvary z překližky, hliníku nebo oceli - tak bychom mohli charakterizovat dna mnoha umělců, která vznikla začátkem šedesátých let v New Yorku a Los Angeles. Pro minimalismus je charakteristické geometrické řazení stejných prvků prosté jakéhokoli subjektivismu. Vznikl v Americe z velké části jako protiváha abstraktního expresionismu a pop-artu. Název "Minimal Art" (minimalismus) vznikl díky filozofovi umění Richardu Wollheimovi, který ve svém stejnojmenném článku z roku 1965 nechtěl postihnout nejnovější umělecké proudy v Americe, ale obecný fenomén v umění 20. století: minimalizaci uměleckého obsahu. Umělecká kritika nakonec tento termín přenesla na dna Carla Andreho, Dana Flavina, Donalda Judda, Sola LeWitta a Roberta Morrise.

"Genuine ideas to express" Sometimes considered the first avant-garde art movement, the Pre-Raphaelites rejected their era’s dominant artistic theories for what they saw as a more spiritual, naturalistic and intensely personal approach. Fascinated by the romantic aspects of medieval culture and the vivid, jewel-like colors of Quattrocento art, the movement abhored the Classical poses and composition of Raphael and those influenced by him—hence the group’s name—and the influence of Sir Joshua Reynolds. Founded in 1848 by William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, the original Pre-Raphaelites were joined by William Michael Rossetti, James Collinson, Frederic George Stephens and Thomas Woolner to form a seven-member "brotherhood". Its influence on many later British artists was extensive, and Rossetti’s work is now seen as a precursor of the wider European Symbolist movement. This book examines the group’s emergence, development, influence, and subsequent demise. About the Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Genre Series

Kniha Surrealismus po úvodním eseji sestává z představení konkrétních výtvarných děl, řazených abecedně podle příjmení tvůrce. Surrealismus je směr výtvarného umění a moderní literatury, který vznikl v Paříži po první světové válce. Surrealisté se snaží vyřadit logiku a setřít hranice mezi normálním a fantastickým, aby vytvořili volnou hrou asociací s využitím sil podvědomí lepší svět. Jejich obrazy se vyznačují prostorovým, věcným způsobem malby s téměř fotografickou ostrostí detailu a dodnes nepozbyly aktuálnosti.

Mysticism of the Middle Ages The earliest Gothic art dates back to mid-12th century France, from which it spread throughout Western Europe through the 15th century. The Gothic style, which dominated the European aesthetic for four centuries, was prominent both in architecture, especially cathedrals and churches, and the arts—painting, sculpture, stained glass, illuminated manuscripts, and frescoes. Predominantly religious, Gothic art was dark and emotional, marked by intensity and logical formalism. The later Gothic period, known as the International Style, was a precursor to the Renaissance. Artists featured: Giotto di Bondone, Duccio di Bouninsegna, Dieric Bouts, Robert Campin, Cimabue, Petrus Christus, Barthélemy d’Eyck, Jan van Eyck, Andrea da Firenze, Jean Fouquet, Nicolas Froment, Hugo van der Goes, Jaume Huguet, Stefan Lochner, Ambrogio Lorenzetti, Simone Martini, Master Bertram, Master Franke, Master of the Glatz Madonna, Master of the Paradise Garden, Master of Saint Veronica, Master Theoderich, Master of the Wilton Diptychons, Master Wittingau, Hans Memling, Lorenzo Monaco, Lukas Moser, Michael Pacher, Martin Schongauer, Rogier van der Weyden, Konrad Witz

Укутанная снегом земля расстилается под свинцовым небом. Несмотря на мороз, люди колют дрова, выгоняют скот... Начиная с одного из первых европейских пейзажей, содержащихся в "Роскошном часослове герцога Беррийского" (ок. 1410-1416), книга Норберта Вольфа прослеживает развитие пейзажной живописи вплоть до стилизованных абстрактных изображений поп-арта. Пейзаж в искусстве отнюдь не является простым отражением природных ландшафтов. В истории пейзажной живописи находит свое выражение история видения и восприятия, которая привносит в живопись некую социальную составляющую. Живопись остается тем экраном, на который вплоть до наших дней проецируются человеческие желания, надежды и страхи.

Taschen [Paperback] B004THP4U6 The immediacy and accessibility of video makes it an ideal medium for artists who want to work with sound and moving image; no sooner than video cameras were available to the public in the 1970s were artists already beginning to experiment with the possibilities of video. Though it took decades for it to be widely embraced by mainstream art, video is now firmly accepted as an important medium, thanks to the work of artists such as Matthew Barney, Bruce Nauman, Bill Viola, and Gillian Wearing. Artists Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Chris Cunningham, Matthew Barney, Fischli/Weiss, Gary Hill, Nan Hoover, Christian Marclay, Steve McQueen, Mariko Mori, Bruce Nauman, Tony Oursler, Marcel Odenbach, Nam June Paik, Pipilotti Rist, Sam Taylor-Wood, Bill Viola, Gillian Wearing.

The birth of the occidental concept of man The 18th century`s Neoclassicist movement, with its white marble sculptures inspired by the art of the ancient world, has helped Greek art to remain vivid in our memories even today. But the reality of ancient art was entirely different, as surfaces were in fact much more brut. As author Michael Siebler points out, recent findings have revealed that the seemingly perfect bodies of statues and sculptures were very often painted in flamboyant colors and ornaments. Thus ancient Greek art combined a high level of classical identity with an equal amount of sensuality. Despite being viewed in a new light, the beauty of the works of art persists. Including detailed analyses of the following Alexander-sarcophagus; Apoxyomenos; Amphora; Diskobol; Apoll from Belvedere; Laocoon; Nike from Samothrake; the altar from Pergamon, now in Berlin; the Alexander-mosaic in Naples; Harmodios and Aristogeiton, in Naples; Doryphoros; sculptures from the Alphaia-temple, now in Munich; Amphora; Ptolemaier-Cameo in Vienna; Hermes; Apollo from the Zeus-temple in Olympia; numerous sculptures in Athens; Krater, now in New York; some Elgin Marbles in London; the warrior from Riace, now in Reggio .

Gotika
Kolektiv autorů
Gotika znamená nový úsek v dějinách umění: středověk se otevírá renesanci a začíná světské malířství. Jestliže středověký člověk ve svém světě idejí ještě zůstával v myšlenkách na posmrtný život, gotický umělec hledá inspiraci v životě samém a nachází nové pravdy. Tento vztah ke světu, který lze vnímat smysly, vede k radostnějšímu a procítěnějšímu pojetí reality. Vývoj dvorské stavovské společnosti a vzestup měšťanské kultury podporují rozvoj gotického umění a vedou také uměleckou tvorbu k zjemnění a eleganci nového druhu.

The year 1884 saw the appearance in Paris of a fin de sicle cult novel that was celebrated as an altogether perverse sensation on the European cultural scene. The title of the book was A Rebours (translated both as Against the Grain and Against Nature). Its author Joris-Karl Huysmans wrote it as a seductive textbook of decadence, as an antidote to banal naturalism or realism. Symbolism, whose influence was felt well into the modernist era, was an artistic religion-substitute, a spiritually charged cult of beauty. A Symbolist picture or sculpture is mysterious on purpose. In place of intellectual comprehension, the work seeks to have the beholder experience its mysterious depth like a vision. It is no wonder that Symbolists created some of the most fascinating artworks of their age.

Land of The earth as canvas In the mid-60s, artists in the USA and Europe began planning works for sites outside the narrow boundaries of galleries and museums. It began with ephemeral enhancements or traces left in deserted landscapes, in the deserts of America, or in the moors of Scotland. Following this were spectacular earthen sculptures of gigantic proportions, some of which are still in the process of completion today. One distinguishing feature of Land Art is its critical preoccupation with the tradition of sculpture. Sculpture can now be an earthwork excavation, a field of metal poles, a buried hut, a trace in the grass, or even a book. Another of the movement’s special characteristics is its emphasis on site-specific, outdoor works intended to lastingly alter our perception of places, and to set new parameters in art production and reception. Artists Carl Andre, Alice Aycock, Herbert Bayer, Christo & Jeanne Claude, Walter De Maria, Agnes Denes, Jan Dibbets, Hamish Fulton, Andy Goldsworthy, Michael Heizer, Nancy Holt, Peter Hutchinson, Patricia Johanson, Dani Karavan, Richard Long, Mary Miss, Robert Morris, Dennis Oppenheim, Charles Ross, Robert Smithson, Alan Sonfist, James Turrell About the Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Genre Series
