Der über 3500 Teile umfassende Gesamtbestand dieser einzigartigen privaten Bestecksammlung wird auf 450 großformatigen Farbtafeln originalgetreu präsentiert und bietet einen einmaligen Überblick über den Formenwandel und die Entwicklung des Essgeräts von der Altsteinzeit bis ins 20. Jahrhundert.

Jahrhunderts bis in die Zeit des Klassizismus; also Bestecke, mit denen eine Tafel „bedeckt“ wird (frz. couverts = Bestecke, couvrir = bedecken) und die daher nichts mehr mit „stecken“ (Be-„steck“) zu tun haben. Teil 3 zeigt Bestecke des Historismus bis zur Neuen Sachlichkeit mit dem Schwerpunkt Jugendstil und seinen schier unerschöpflichen Formen und Dekoren bekannter Künstler und Hersteller. Alle Sammlungsstücke sind in einem umfangreichen Katalog wissenschaftlich bearbeitet, ergänzt durch umfangreiche Literatur- und Markenverzeichnisse sowie durch Sach-Register.

Sehr anschaulich wird hier die Entwicklung des Essgeräts von der Altsteinzeit bis in die Moderne in der Opulenz eines Kunstbuches präsentiert – auf höchstem Niveau wissenschaftlich bearbeitet und optisch gestaltet!

Стежки даних. Збірник XL-розміру з історії знань

Від космічних карт та Вітрувіанської людини да Вінчі до карти нью-йоркського метро: простежте історію візуальних даних від Середньовіччя до цифрової ери в цьому збірнику XL. Містить близько 400 інфографічних етапів у сфері технологій, картографії, зоології тощо, це безпрецедентний довідник для дизайнерів, любителів історії та всіх, хто прагне знань.

В епоху великих даних та цифрового розповсюдження, коли новини поширюються все далі та швидше, а засоби масової інформації конкурують за швидкоплинну частку онлайн-уваги, інформаційна графіка займає центральне місце. Одночасно нюансована та акуратна, вона перетворює абстрактні ідеї, складну статистику та передові відкриття на лаконічні, переконливі та майстерні дизайни. Картографи, програмісти, статистики, дизайнери, вчені та журналісти розробили нову галузь експертизи у візуалізації знань.

Цей збірник XL-розміру досліджує історію графіки даних від Середньовіччя до цифрової ери. Куратором виставки є Сандра Рендген, яка охоплює близько 400 етапів у сфері астрономії, картографії, зоології, технологій та інших галузей. Серед середньовічних рукописів та пергаментних сувоїв, складних карт, чудових популярних атласів та раннього комп'ютерного інформаційного дизайну ми систематично розбиваємо історичний контекст кожної роботи, включаючи такі яскраві моменти, як знаменита карта світу Мартіна Вальдземюллера, ретельні дослідження природи Ернста Геккеля та багато невідомих скарбів.

Відразу після бестселера «Інформаційна графіка та розуміння світу», цей третій том заповнює прогалину як безпрецедентний довідник для фанатів даних, дизайнерів, істориків та всіх, хто прагне знань. Захопливе дослідження вчень, досліджень та життя минулих поколінь.

Open your notebooks, sharpen your pencils, and get ready for a history lesson like none you’ve ever experienced. Yes, that’s right: you’re about to learn everything you could ever want to know about the world history of men’s magazines—not sports, not fashion, not hunting or fishing or how to build a birdhouse in ten easy steps, but those titillating periodicals embracing the subject dearest to all heterosexual men’s hearts and other organs: the undraped female form. A twenty-five-year veteran of the genre, former men’s magazine editor Dian Hanson traces its development from 1900 to 1980 in six massive and informative volumes.

Volume I explores the period from 1900, when sexy magazines first started to appear in France and Germany, through the decades of subterfuge and censorship up to the great global change wrought by WWII. Along the way the USA, England, Argentina, and many other countries join the publishing fun.

Volume II starts in the post-war period of the 1940s when the US surged ahead in magazine production while the rest of the world rebuilt and recovered, and ends in 1957 when censorship at last began to ease.

Volumes III and IV cover the short but crucial transformation period of 1958 to 1967: ten years in which the world and its men’s magazines changed out of all recognition to anything that had came before. Volume III begins with the redefinition of American obscenity laws and follows the flowering of mass distribution, or newsstand, men’s magazines around the world. Volume IV traces the roots of "special interest" and under-the-counter publications during this same period, ending with the Scandinavian sexual/social revolution that resulted in the repeal of all obscenity laws for most of Northern Europe.

Finally, in Volumes V and VI you’ll find the years 1968 to 1980: the post-sexual revolution era of sudden publishing freedom. Volume V covers the newsstands of the world, showing everything from homemade hippie ‘zines to periodicals for big bottom fanciers.

Volume VI, the final word in this encyclopedic series, is reserved for the most daring and extreme edges of the publishing field. Here you’ll peek inside the adult bookstores of Denmark, Sweden, Germany, the US and Japan to see what sexual freedom really meant.

Publisher comments
Each volume contains over 400 pages and 15 to 20 chapters, profiling important or quirky publishers and their magazines, single countries in a given era, distinctive genres such as swinging ("Suburban Sin") or spanking ("Spank You Very Much!"), top models, and those back-of-the-magazine advertisements for male girdles and X-ray spectacles. Most importantly: while the books are amply supplied with fascinating and educational text, they are also chock full of magazine covers and photos—a whopping 5000 images in all! Who knew learning could be so much fun?

The definitive annotated and illustrated history of girlie periodicals (1960s part 1)

Open your notebooks, sharpen your pencils, and get ready for a history lesson like none you've ever experienced. You're about to learn everything you could ever want to know about the world history of men's magazines—not magazines about sports, not fashion, not hunting or fishing or how to build a birdhouse in ten easy steps, but those titillating periodicals embracing the subject dearest to all heterosexual men's hearts and other body parts: the undraped female form. Former men's magazine editor Dian Hanson traces its development from 1900 to 1980 in six massive and informative volumes.

For Volume 3 author/editor Dian Hanson searched the world for the mass-market men's magazines of the 1960s. With the international economy on the upswing and censorship in a losing battle with lust the sixties were a time of great political, social and moral change. Suddenly hundreds of men's magazine titles were right out in public, openly sold on newsstands all over the world.

Volume 3 begins with an explosion of new American men's magazines following the redefinition of US obscenity laws in the late fifties. We examine the enormous impact of Playboy, not only on American titles, but on magazines worldwide. This is the decade when France finally declines as a great force in magazine production; England starts to show her pervy side; Argentina embraces burlesque; and Germany once again blends political activism with nudity. By 1965 even Australia has a booming men's magazine industry. The volume ends with a look at those great back-of-the-magazine ads for party pills and the first inflatable "dates".

The History of Men's Magazines, Volume 3 contains over 400 full color pages of vintage covers and interiors and a well-researched text profiling quirky publishers and artists, individual magazines, and the place of it all in the Swinging Sixties culture. This hardcover volume is a fascinating instant collectable all on its own, and a must have to complete the six volume set of Dian Hanson's: The History of Men's Magazines.

The definitive annotated and illustrated history of girlie periodicals (1960s part 2)

"Separation is great, as long as the separation is of my thighs." —Adults Only

Open your notebooks, sharpen your pencils, and get ready for a history lesson like none you've ever experienced. You're about to learn everything you could ever want to know about the world history of men's magazines—not magazines about sports, not fashion, not hunting or fishing or how to build a birdhouse in ten easy steps, but those titillating periodicals embracing the subject dearest to all heterosexual men's hearts and other body parts: the undraped female form. Former men's magazine editor Dian Hanson traces its development from 1900 to 1980 in six massive and informative volumes.

Why two volumes on the 1960s? Because when men's magazines were finally accepted on the newsstands something had to fill their old niche under the counter. On the cusp of the sixties a new breed of men's magazine emerged in Southern California. Made in smaller print-runs, aimed at more specific markets, these new magazines, called "slicks" for the thick glossy paper they were printed on, first embraced bad girls and big hair, beatniks, booze, and fetish photographers like Elmer Batters. As the decade progressed these were the first men's magazines to showcase hippy culture, and to expose all that hippy hair, years before it made its appearance on the newsstand.

Volume 4 concentrates on the emergence of California's specialty magazine industry and how it spawned the state's multi-billion dollar sex industry of today, but also includes fetish master Irving Klaw, the specialty magazines of England, and concludes with Sweden and Denmark's emergence as the new powers in European publishing.

Together with Volume 3, Volume 4 gives a complete picture of this fascinating decade of rapid social change, but also stands on its own, covering a distinctly different, more risqué side of 1960s men's magazine publishing.

Volume 4 contains over 400 full color pages of magazine covers and interiors with well-researched text profiling important publishers and artists, individual magazines, and specialty magazine categories. This hardcover volume is an instant collectable and is vital to completion of Dian Hanson's: The History of Men's Magazines six-volume set.

Surveying applied arts and industrial design from the 18th century to the present day, this book explores the dynamic relationship between design and manufacturing, and the technological, social and commercial context in which this relationship developed. The effects of a vastly enlarged audience for the products of modern design and the complex dynamic of mass consumption are also discussed. Part of this dynamic reveals that products serve as signs for desires that have little to do with need or function. The book also explores the impact of a wealth of new man-made industrial materials and tools on the course of modern design - from steel to titanium, plywood to plastic, cotton to nylon, wire to transistors,and microprocessors to nanotubes. The research, development and applications of these technologies are shown as depending upon far-reaching lines of communication stretching across geographical and linguistic boundaries.

This landmark book celebrates, for the very first time, the costume designer’s contribution to the telling of the cinematic story in 100 years of Hollywood. Rocking the conventions of what is considered ‘costume’, Hollywood Costume reveals what is hidden in plain sight: that films are about people and it is the art of the costume designer who helps create those characters.

This book looks at this process of transformation by analyzing some of the finest and most eclectic costumes from the most beloved films of the last 100 years. As well as essays by a wide variety of leading scholars, archivists and private collectors, the book incorporates contributions by key costume designers, actors and directors working in Hollywood today. Fabulous golden age of Hollywood costumes are juxtaposed beside all the contemporary classics including The Tramp, Ben Hur, Cleopatra, The Wizard of Oz, Gone with the Wind, Pirates of the Caribbean, Ocean’s Eleven, Sherlock Holmes and Avatar.

About the Author:

Copley Center for Costume Design at UCLA, School of Theater, Film & Television.

Hollywood Sketchbook is the first volume published on costume design illustration for the movies.

This groundbreaking book celebrates one hundred years of the costume designers' and costume illustrators' contributions to the art of cinematic storytelling.

Costume designer Deborah Nadoolman Landis offers us a unique perspective on the art and importance of the costume drawing. During her years of practice and research, Professor Landis has discovered a wealth of never-before-seen original sketches, published here for the first time, along with a comprehensive array of first-person anecdotes from collectors, archivists, illustrators, and designers.

Whether the film, costume designer, or star was significant or successful did not factor into the criteria for choosing the sketches in this book.

Every drawing had a chance to be included on its own merit as a work of art. Featuring a comprehensive introduction that contextualizes the rigors of costume design and a filmography that details the career highlights of each artist, Hollywood Sketchbook is the perfect gift for any lover of fine art, costume design, and the movies.

A good study of poses helps to interpret fashion illustrations, explaining above all how an item of clothing will react to any movement. Any professional artist knows that recreating depth and relative position of objects is practically impossible without the basic notions of perspective. The book explains the foundations and basic notions of perspective of drawing.

We are all type consumers and interact with type in our everyday lives. Typefaces in all shapes and sizes evoke an emotional response and trigger associated memories before we’ve even read the words.

How to Draw Type and Influence People shows how we use type to understand different messages. Each typeface is introduced and explained and then creative exercises show the reader how to draw each font and invite them to explore the associations evoked by the styles, to reveal why they have come about and how to create their own versions.

Ideal for all those who work with type daily, this book provides an accessible way into the world of typefaces, for the general reader, but also graphic designers who want to explore fonts in more detail and design their own letterforms.
