This excellent introduction to the major developments in art and architecture that emerged from seventeenth century Western Europe bridges the gap between the specialized study and a more general survey. Seventeenth-Century Art & Architecture encompasses the socio-political and cultural background of the period. In the process it examines the careers of the most significant painters, sculptors and architects, and those of less well-known artists. Major artists covered include Bernini, Borromini, Caravaggio, Carracci, Claude, Girardon, Guercino, Hals, Jones, Le Brun, Le Vau, Murillo, Poussin, Rembrandt, Reni, Ribera, Rubens, Ruisdael, Steen, van Dyck, Velzquez, Vermeer, Wren and Zurbarn. The seventeenth century also witnessed the emergence of successful women painters such as Artemisia Gentileschi and Clara Peeters, who receive due attention here.
The Visual Encyclopaedia series provide up to 300 beautiful photographic and artwork images, illustrating subjects of perennial cultural interest. Images are accompanied by narrative providing background, brief criticism, and details on relevant museums, brief biographies and time lines.
The 19th century was a pivotal period in Western history, market by revolutionary phase involving not only politics but art and, more broadly speaking, taste. The roots of things change date back to the 1740s, when there was a call for a new kind of art, one that would be useful and educational, both aesthetically and morally, in contrast to the frivolous and "uncommited" tendency of the Rococo. The new model identified with ancient Greece and Rome; it was believed that through the imitation of antiquity, art could aspire to the ideal beauty of true nature.
In the 19th century, the craft of embroidery became a pastime for ladies of leisure. This beautiful new book explores the shift from industry to hobby and how embroidery was crafted and displayed in the home.

This delightful book is a must for any student studying embroidery, fashion and textiles, craft persons interested in historical embroidery techniques, collectors of textiles, plus any needlework enthusiast wanting to extend their knowledge.

XX век в искусстве начался в 1907 году картиной Пикассо Авиньонские девицы. Эта работа ознаменовала разрыв с прошлым и обозначила одно из важнейших направлений творческого поиска в будущем. Примерно в то же самое время представители первых авангардных движений начали экспериментировать с формой, языком, техникой и материалом, что будет характерно для всего столетия, в котором кубизм, экспрессионизм, абстракционизм, футуризм и дадаизм открыли новые выразительные возможности. Появились новые взаимоотношения между искусством и реальностью: художники экспериментировали с формой, предметами и материалами, считая при этом изобразительное искусство формой языка. К началу 1940-х годов центр художественного мира переместился из Парижа в Нью-Йорк. Здесь язык искусства полностью обновился: главным героем в искусстве Поллока становится действие. За несколько лет художники, с одной стороны, глубоко проникли в реалии общества потребления, с другой - достигали изощренных результатов, зачастую непонятных для широкой публики. Это привело к рождению поп-арта, концептуального и минималистского искусства.

This book provides a fascinating insight into the collection's rich diversity; from conceptual art to abstraction to reportage, all of the major movements and genres are represented via a vast selection of the century's most remarkable photographs.
