Искусство

An exquisite volume documenting Cartier's most recent bespoke high jewelry collection, destined for eminent clients and collectors.

Devoted to the new High Jewelry and precious objects collection created by Cartier, this book celebrates nature's vitality, sensuality, and aesthetic force. Documents from the House's archives show that flora and fauna have been a major source of inspiration at Cartier since the very beginning.

The representations are numerous, and the interpretations complement each other: figurative, as realistic as possible; stylized, between an outline or suggestion; and all the way to abstraction, with the disconcerting visual play.

The jeweler's imagination and virtuosity transform precious materials and stones into splendid ensembles. For this groundbreaking new collection, the artists who create the designs go even farther than the known natural universe to visit unexplored territories: in addition to the Houses's emblematic species, such as panthers and crocodiles, we discover original creations, inspired, for example, by succulents and peacocks, or even imaginary creatures like reinvented chimeras.

In this richly illustrated volume, the new Cartier High Jewelry collection is accompanied by text that highlights the privileged relationship that exists between contemporary art and nature. Artists, fascinated by the power and the mystery of the environment that surrounds us, move beyond traditional art arenas to confront the immensity of landscapes or to work directly with materials from nature. The natural world is a marvel that never ceases to inspire and seduce.

Эта книга - не каталог и не монография. Ее предмет - сам механизм творчества. Книга возникла благодаря дружбе двух художников: живописца Галины Быстрицкой и графического дизайнера Ирины Тархановой. Галина Быстрицкая нашла тот импульс, ту единицу впечатления, где происходит контакт художника и мира. Этот импульс кодировался красками и тушью, карандашами и чернилами, фотографиями и дневниками. Он стал иероглифом, почти знаком, концентратом ощущения. А зритель, как ребенок, жаждет собрать узнаваемый паззл, который складывает для нас реальность. Реальность Быстрицкой безусловно и радостно считывается. Сделать эту игру художника осязаемой "тканью жизни" стало задачей дизайнера Ирины Тархановой. Около тысячи изображений, отобранных ею из множества путевых альбомов, рисунков, картин Быстрицкой, стали материалом для разворотов-коллажей. В книге - пять векторов путешествий, пять жизней в изображениях и путевых заметках. Это жизнь в экзотических странах - прообразе рая на земле, где существование представляется простым, бесхитростным и потому счастливым. Жизнь, прожитая в Венеции, полна перевоплощений, снов и предчувствий. Жизнь, проведенная в странствиях по Франции, по английской провинции, воссоздает глубокий и мудрый ритм старой Европы. Путешествие по Средиземноморью, по Испании позволяет прикоснуться к корням нашей цивилизации. И, наконец, жизнь в России, в глубинке, где прошлое, настоящее и будущее сплетены в болезненный запутанный клубок. Сопровождают этот мир тексты других путешественников-литераторов, поэтов, искусствоведов.

...Isms: Understanding Modern Art

Данный путеводитель по современному искусству призван объяснить все его ключевые "измы": группы, стили и школы, определяющие то, что считается искусством с конца XIX века по наши дни.

Автор, британский искусствовед, редактор журнала Frieze, выросшего из одноименной арт-ярмарки, помещая современное искусство в исторический контекст, создает своего рода карту траекторий, по которым развивалась художественная практика новейшего времени.

Вооружившись подобной картой, любой читатель - от студента-искусствоведа до простого любителя искусств - способен дальше прокладывать собственные маршруты.

Список художников, ключевых работ и музеев всего мира прилагается.

Favorite Flicks. An inspiring selection of must-see masterpieces

This collection profiles 100 of the finest films in cinema history. Traversing every genre, the book presents classic, cult, famous, and lesser-known films. Each masterpiece is introduced with essential information, film stills, and original posters. From Metropolis to Annie Hall, celebrate the art of the silver screen and find abundant inspiration for those movie nights in.

They say that in life, there are winners and there are losers. Though the movies we selected for this two-volume collection are winners indeed, those that didn’t make the cut aren’t losers. We just didn’t like them quite as much. It was a tough, soul-searching process, but after much debate and deliberation, TASCHEN settled on what we believe to be the 100 finest examples of 20th-century filmmaking.

From horror to romance, noir to slapstick, adventure to tragedy, epic to musical, western to new wave, all genres are represented in this wide-ranging and devilishly fun compendium. Metropolis? Check. Modern Times? Yep. Citizen Kane, The Seven Samurai? Of course. La dolce vita, Psycho, A Clockwork Orange? You bet. Plus The Godfather, Annie Hall, Blue Velvet, Pulp Fiction... and so many more cinematic gems including lesser-known masterpieces like Buñuel’s The Young and the Damned. Think of this collection as a celebration of contrasts, an homage to the seventh art, a gathering of greats, and a nostalgic romp through celluloid history.

Chronological entries each include a synopsis, cast/crew listings, technical information, actor/director bios, trivia, and lists of awards, as well as film stills, production photos, and the original poster for each film. The chapter for each decade begins with an introduction exploring the historical and social context of films made in that era.

From the earliest cave paintings through to the internet and street art, this inspiring book chronicles the 100 most influential ideas that have shaped the world of art. Arranged in broadly chronological order, it provides a unique and compelling take on the history of art.

The book shows how developments in materials (oil paint, plastics, paint in tubes) and technology (paper, photography, welding) have radically changed the way that art is produced. But these changes run parallel with influences from wider culture such as the study of optics and anatomy and more conceptual concerns such as chance and ephemerality. Each entry explores when an idea first evolved and how it has resurfaced in the work of different artists up to the present day.

Lavishly illustrated with historical masterpieces and packed with fascinating contemporary examples, this is an inspirational and wholly original guide to understanding the forces that have shaped world art.
