Мистецтво

Flowers Розі Сандерс – це книга великого формату, яка демонструє понад 80 її найкращих картин із квітами у вишуканих деталях.

Ботанічні картини Розі Сандерс, які часто порівнюють з художницею Джорджією О'Кіф, знаходяться на крайньому краю ботанічного мистецтва – вони випромінюють динамізм і чуттєвість у кожному мазку, а їхнє багатство кольорів відрізняє її від сучасників. У цій чудово ілюстрованій книзі Розі демонструє добірку квітів, від тюльпанів до орхідей, від троянд до ірисів, від анемонів до амарилісу, та освітлює їх захопливим та майстерним використанням перспективи та світла. Ця книга великого формату демонструє її найкращі картини у вишуканих деталях, і вони супроводжуються чудовими та доступними науковими коментарями. Також включено вступ відомого швейцарського ботаніка доктора Андреаса Онеггера.

Ця книга ідеально підходить для художників, які хочуть ближче познайомитися з мазками, текстурами та кольором майстра в картинах, або для читачів, які цікавляться сучасним ботанічним мистецтвом.

This illustrated catalogue is published to accompany the retrospective exhibition devoted to American artist Mark Rothko, curated by Suzanne Pagé and the artist’s son, Christopher Rothko. The show will feature over one hundred works. Born Markus Rothkowitz in Latvia in the early 20th century, the man who would soon become known as Mark Rothko began painting in the 1930s. While his early works were influenced by mythology and Surrealism, his first abstract paintings emerged in the 1940s with the Multiform series, followed by his Classic Years and the Black and Gray paintings. A key figure on the New York art scene, Rothko was an uncategorisable artist who deployed an extensive palette of colour and light with a talent that consistently triggers emotion. His great sensitivity shaped a poetic, enigmatic universe that leaves no one untouched.

Mark Rothko's iconic paintings are some of the most profound works of twentieth-century Abstract Expressionism.

This collection presents fifty large-scale artworks from the American master's color field period (1949-1970) alongside essays by Rothko's son, Christopher Rothko, and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art curator of painting and sculpture Janet Bishop. Featuring illuminating details about Rothko's life, influences, and legacy, and brimming with the emotional power and expressivecolor of his groundbreaking canvases, this essential volume brings the renowned artist's luminous work to light for both longtime Rothko fans and those discovering his work for the very first time. A textured case and large-scale tip-on on the front cover round out this sumptious package.

About the Authors:

Mark Rothko (1903-1970) was one of the foremost members of the Abstract Expressionist movement. He is known for his colour field paintings, which used staining techniques to create abstract fields of colour on large canvases. Rothko was a guest instructor at the California School of Fine Arts, San Francisco, and taught at Brooklyn College, the University of Colorado, Boulder, and Tulane University. From 1958 to 1969, he worked on three major commissions: monumental canvases for the Four Seasons Restaurant and Seagram Building, both in New York; murals for the Holyoke Center, Harvard University; and canvases for the chapel at the Institute of Religion and Human Development, Houston, known worldwide as "The Rothko Chapel." His work is held in gallery and museum collections worldwide.

Janet Bishop is the Thomas Weisel Family Curator of Painting and Sculpture at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. While the museum underwent expansion construction, she oversaw "SFMOMA on the Go," an innovative program of exhibitions presented throughout the Bay Area and beyond. She is best known for her curatorial work on Matisse/Diebenkorn; The Steins Collect: Matisse, Picasso, and the Parisian Avant-Garde; and Robert Bechtle: A Retrospective.

Dore Ashton is an award-winning critic of modern and contemporary art. An authority on Abstract Expressionism and the New York School of the 1950s and 1960s, she is the author and editor of more than 30 books, including About Rothko, a celebrated biography of Mark Rothko. Ashton is a professor of Art History at the Cooper Union in New York City.
 

Цей калейдоскопічний каталог виставки відзначає багатогранну кар'єру Ліхтенштейна — від його знакових досягнень у русі поп-арту та за його межами.

Виданий до сторіччя з дня народження Ліхтенштейна, цей ретроспективний том сповнений блискучих репродукцій, які висвітлюють всю творчість художника. Він містить визнані роботи, що допомогли створити поп-арт 1960-х років — панно, натхненні коміксами та рекламою, які поширюють суспільні стереотипи. У ньому розглядається його новаторське використання намальованих точок бендая та ретельно намальованих і заповнених мазків пензлем, його інтер'єри та пейзажі, переробки натюрмортів, його розширення у скульптуру та кераміку, а також роботи, що віддають шану таким відомим художникам, як Пікассо, Моне та Ван Гог.

У цьому чудовому каталозі читачі оцінять не лише яскраве та динамічне використання Ліхтенштейном кольору, лінії та текстури, але й те, як його постійне протистояння візуальній мові популярної культури та споживацтва продовжує резонувати й сьогодні.

The Russian Criminal Tattoo Archive presents highlights from FUEL’s singular collection of authentic material on this subject

Previously unpublished in its original form, the material in this archive comprises ink-on-paper drawings by Danzig Baldaev, the photographic albums of Arkady Bronnikov and prisoner portraits by Sergei Vasiliev. The selection is contextualised with insights from Mark Vincent PhD (author and academic specialising in the Soviet Gulag) and Alison Nordström (photography scholar, writer and curator).

The meticulous depictions of tattoos by prison guard Danzig Baldaev are reproduced in facsimile, authenticated by his signature and stamp, alongside his handwritten notes on the reverse. Sergei Vasiliev’s photographs portray inmates in startling intimacy, reproduced in colour for the first time. Arkady Bronnikov’s collection of photographs are shown in the albums in which they were collected. Used exclusively to aid police in their investigations, they depict a motley line-up of assorted body parts.

This unique book is the only publication of primary material on this subject, highlighting the pioneering methods of these three individuals used to document this unique phenomenon.

About the Authors:

Danzig Baldaev worked as a warden in ‘Kresty’ (‘the Crosses’) – an infamous Leningrad prison – where he began drawing the tattoos of criminals. Between 1948-2000 he travelled to reform settlements across the former USSR, using pen and ink to record the tattoos he found.
Sergei Vasiliev worked as a photographic journalist for more than 30 years. He documented Russian prisoners and their tattoos in between 1990-93. His work has been exhibited internationally including in the Saatchi Gallery, London and Galerie Max Hetzler, Berlin.
Arkady Bronnikov was a police officer working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Perm between 1963-91. During this time, he collected thousands of photographs of tattooed prisoners from across the Soviet Union.
Mark Vincent is a writer and academic. He is the author of Criminal Subculture in the Gulag (Bloomsbury). He is a lecturer at the University of East Anglia, School of History.

The photographs, drawings and texts published in this book are part of a collection of more than 3,000 tattoos accumulated over a lifetime by prison attendant Danzig Baldaev. Tattoos were his gateway into a secret world in which he acted as ethnographer, recording the rituals of a closed society.

The icons and tribal languages he documented are artful, distasteful, sexually explicit and sometimes just strange, reflecting as they do the lives and traditions of Russian convicts.

Skulls, swastikas, harems of naked women, a smiling Al Capone, medieval knights in armour, daggers sheathed in blood, benign images of Christ, sweet-faced mothers and their babies, armies of tanks, and a horned Lenin - these are the signs by which the people of this hidden world mark and identify themselves.

This second volume of the Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopaedia is an essential companion to the critically acclaimed first volume. It features previously unpublished drawings and photographs from the extraordinary archives of Danzig Baldaev and Sergei Vasiliev.

During his lifetime as a guard in St Petersburg's notorious Kresty Prison, Baldaev diligently recorded over 3,000 criminals' tattoos and their coded meanings. His drawings form a unique gallery; a passport into a hidden world of shovel-faced politicians, fornicating devils, messages tangled in barbed wire. Tattoos on hands, feet, legs, torsos, foreheads, eyelids, buttocks and genitals all take their place in this fascinating document of a rapidly disappearing criminal society, where history, status and even sexual preference are indelibly etched on the body.

Introduction by Anne Applebaum, winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize.

This is the final volume of drawings and photographs from Danzig Baldaev and Sergei Vasiliev, which completes the Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopaedia trilogy. 

Danzig Baldaev documented over three thousand tattoos during a lifetime working as a prison guard. His recording of this esoteric world was reported to the KGB who unexpectedly supported him, realising the importance of being able to establish facts about convicts by reading the images on their bodies. The motifs depicted represent the uncensored lives of the criminal classes, ranging from violence and pornography to politics and alcohol. The illustrated criminals of Russia tell the tale of their closed society.

With an introduction by historian Alexander Sidorov, exploring the origin of Russian criminal tattoos and their meaning today.

This book features over 180 photographs and accompanying texts of Russian criminal tattoos from the Arkady Bronnikov collection.

From the mid-1960s to the late- 1980s Bronnikov worked as a senior expert in criminalistics at the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs, part of his duties involved visiting correctional institutions of the Ural and Siberia regions. It was here that he interviewed, gathered information and took photographs of convicts and their tattoos, building one of the most comprehensive archives of this phenomenon. He regularly helped to solve criminal cases across Russia by using his collection of tattoos to identify culprits and corpses.

The Bronnikov collection was made exclusively for police use, to further the understanding of the language of these tattoos and to act as an aid in the identification and apprehension of criminals in the field. Unimpeded by artistry, these vernacular photographs present a guileless representation of criminal society. Every image discloses evidence of an inmate’s character: aggressive, vulnerable, melancholic, conceited. Their bodies display an unofficial history, told not just through tattoos, but also in scars and missing digits. Closer inspection only confirms our inability to comprehend the unimaginable lives of this previously unacknowledged caste.

Salon culture in Japan: making art, 1750–1900 celebrates the British Museum’s rich collection of technically sophisticated artworks created as part of Japanese cultural salons in the late 18th and 19th centuries, featuring lively figures in daily life and festivals, elegant birds and flowers, ferocious animals, and lyrical landscapes.

This book accompanies the special 2024 display in the British Museum Mitsubishi Corporation Japanese Galleries, City life and salon culture in Tokyo and Osaka: 1770–1900.

In early modern Japan, cultural salons were creative spaces for people of all ages and social levels to pursue painting, poetry and other artistic endeavours, as serious but amateur practitioners. They all used a pen- or art-name. Individuals were therefore able to socialise and interact broadly through these artistic activities, regardless of official social status as regulated by the shogunal government. The idea of communal and collaborative creativity seems to have been especially ingrained around the area of Kyoto and Osaka. Each of the two cities had a distinct character: Kyoto was the national capital, where the emperor and aristocrats resided, and Osaka was the centre of commerce.

Only a fraction of these technically sophisticated artworks has previously been published in colour. With five essays by leading experts that explore this fascinating cultural phenomenon from different angles, and eight shorter insights that delve into specific historical aspects and the personal connections and legacies of cultural figures, this book offers a new perspective on Japanese art and society in the late 18th and 19th centuries.

Ця репродукція ukiyo-e художника Тойохара Кунічіка (1835-1900) показує інсценізацію битви між бійцями-самураями в бамбуковому гаю в кабукі. Воїн верхи на коричневому коні піднімає верхівку високо над головою, готовий обрушити її на ворога.

Про автора:

Тойохара Кунічіка (1835 - 1900) був відомим художником укійо-е в Японії. У підлітковому віці він почав навчатися у провідного гравця Токіо Утагави Кунісади. Він досяг успіху протягом періоду Едо (1603 - 1867) та ери Мейдзі (1868 - 1912). Найчастіше він малював красивих жінок і сучасне світське життя, а також деякі пейзажі та історичні сцени. Історично західні колекціонери мистецтва відкидали його, але виставка 2008 року в Бруклінському музеї та стаття в New York Times призвели до відновлення інтересу до Кунічіки в 21 столітті.

About the Author:

Katerina Pantelides studied Russian ballet and the body at the Courtauld Institute of Art, where she also taught. She has written style-related pieces for several publications.
 

Egon Schiele left an enormous artistic legacy that is all the more powerful for the brevity of his career. Isabel Kuhl's lively text follows Schiele's trajectory from an artist in the Art Nouveau style to a powerful interpreter of human sexuality and considers the many hardships, including exile and even imprisonment, faced by Schiele as a young and rebellious artist with a singular vision. Gorgeous reproductions of his most emblematic works are presented chronologically, allowing readers to appreciate the evolution of Schiele's radical style, his uncanny use of colour and line, and his willingness to confront an oppressive society. From unflinching portraits to precisely detailed landscapes, Schiele's artistry shines through on every page.

About the Author:

Isabel Kuhl is an art and architecture historian. Among her many books are Vincent van Gogh, 50 Buildings You Should Know, and 50 Sculptures You Should Know.

The self as a subject is one of the most fascinating and fruitful of artistic enterprises. From the 15th century to today, this collection brings together some of the best examples of self-portraiture to explore the genre’s evolution over the centuries as well as the enduring questions of selfhood and self-representation that have besieged human experience for centuries before social media and the selfie.

Is a self-portrait of an artist a medium of reflection? Or is it merely a black void, the “false mirror,” as the Surrealist René Magritte entitled his 1928 painting of an eye? How much does it impart about contemporary notions of beauty, power, and status? From Albrecht Dürer to Egon Schiele, Fra Filippo Lippi to Frida Kahlo, this far-reaching collection explores the numerous ways in which artists have taken themselves as subjects, the variety of ingenious methods and perspectives they have used, and the intriguing questions they raise.

Чуттєвий, сміливий та актуальний – цей том з різноманітними ілюстраціями представляє весь спектр єврейських уявлень про сексуальність. При цьому він досліджує поширені та суперечливі стереотипи, згідно з якими єврейська традиція або підтримує сексуальність, або обмежує її суворими правилами.

Популярні серіали та шоу про знайомства «Неортодоксальні», «Штісель» та «Єврейські сватовства» задовольняють дивовижне бажання зазирнути в інтимне життя євреїв. Незалежно від того, чи є їхні головні герої ультраортодоксальними, світськими чи десь посередині: поп-культура спрощує тему, яка була предметом глибоких дискусій у єврейському світі з часів заповіді «плідніться та розмножуйтеся». Рабини та релігієзнавці, сексотерапевти, науковці та митці борються з традиційними ідеями та сучасними викликами, досліджуючи єврейські позиції щодо сексуальності у всьому її різноманітті.

Серед митців – Джуді Чикаго, Ніколь Айзенман, Р. Б. Кітай, Рое Розен, Гіл Єфман та інші.
