The V&A may proudly hold the original artwork for the Rolling Stone’s ‘tongue and lips’ logo, but this is an anomaly. The cultural significance of the band logo has been overlooked. And yet, thousands of people wear them on T-shirts every day, mostly as badges of allegiance, but also simply because they look cool. Some have even become tropes – think The Ramones, Run DMC, AC/DC. (Q: How many people who wear Ramones T-shirts have seen them live or know their music?)

Band logos first emerged during the 1960s. They became commonplace in the 1970s and 1980s, when record companies and designers latched on to the power of music branding. Bands and logos may seem like unlikely bedfellows … yet it’s often the most eccentric, anarchic types who end up with the most compelling or ingenious visual marques to signify their attitude and style of music.

It is also interesting how many prominent graphic designers first became interested in logos and letterforms by doodling the names of their favourite bands on their school exercise books. Some of these efforts were reverential copies, others were improvements or embellished versions of the original. A wannabe designer’s version of attempting to emulate a Hendrix riff.

Logo Rhythm includes stories and insight from well-known designers such as Beatles art director Kosh, Bowie designer Jonathan Barnbook, Malcom Garrett, Rob O’Connor of Stylorouge, Chris Bigg of 4AD and editorial guru Mark Porter. There are contributions from Horace Panter of The Specials, XTC’s Andy Partridge, Allan Gorrie of Average White Band, Jim McCarty of The Yardbirds and Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand.

The book hails the unsung heroes and tall stories behind iconic band logos of all genres. It unearths original artwork and proffers informed comment and critique. It celebrates the good, the eccentric and the notorious, digging for nuggets of interest and illumination in the compelling world of band logos.

Looking at pictures can be a delightful, exciting or moving experience, but some pictures – and these are often the most rewarding – require some explanation before they can be fully understood.

Delving into the origins, designs and themes of over 100 pictures from different periods and places, this book illuminates the art of looking at – and talking about – pictures. Woodford shows how you can read a picture by examining the formal and stylistic devices used by an artist, and explores popular themes and subject matters, and the relationship of pictures to the societies that produced them.

The book is supplemented by a glossary of key terms, ranging from art movements and technical terms to religious and classical terminology, to give readers all the information they need at their fingertips.

Contents List:

Introduction • 1. Ways of Looking at Pictures • 2. Land and Sea • 3. Portraits • 4. Everyday Things • 5. History and Mythology • 6. The Christian World • 7. Creating Patterns on Flat Surfaces • 8. Tradition • 9. Design and Organization • 10. The Depiction of Space • 11. Formal Analysis • 12. Hidden Meanings • 13. Quality

A gorgeous new edition with the cover printed on silver.

Tiffany was highly skilled in jewellery design, ceramics, enamels, and metalwork but he is best known for his beautiful stained-glass designs. 

Using opalescent glass in a variety of colours and textures, he created a stunning range of jewel-like Art Nouveau works, many of them presented here in this luxurious volume.

Louise Bourgeois, who has produced art since the 1930s, began in the 1990s to use her clothes and the clothes of her loved ones as components in her sculptures and drawings. It is as much a reincarnation of her past and her childhood as a confirmation of her relationship with memory. Her visual approach to fabrics transforms decorative accessories into emotional and personal references which, especially in her Cells and later in her drawings, create representations of a tormented and at the same time powerful womanhood. Further development of the artist’s work began in 2002: exploiting the iridescent colours and formal structural properties of pieces of her clothing, she created “The Fabric Drawings,” astonishing works alternating between floral figurative pieces and chromatic abstractions.

This set of images is collected here in its entirety for the first time, constituting the closest thing yet to a general catalogue.

• This collection of pictorial and sculptural images is brought together in this anthology in a unique and exhaustive way.
• The publication is a means of approaching her distinctive iconographic and visual explosions and adding to our knowledge of the artist herself.
• Bourgeois’s emotional and figurative strength, translated into compositions of colour and form, is further testimony to her important contribution to the history of modern and contemporary art.

Розкішне однотомне видання відомого огляду Фейдона про одного з найвидатніших художників нашого часу

Величезний британський художник Лючіан Фрейд мав кар’єру, яка тривала понад сім десятиліть. Він працював майже до дня своєї смерті, поки не залишив незакінченим портрет друга та помічника студії Девіда Доусона.

Це відоме вшанування творчості Фрейда з 1930-х років до його смерті в 2011 році, яке вперше доступне в одному елегантно об’єднаному виданні, включає сотні картин, малюнків, ескізів і офортів – навіть особисті фотографії та ілюстровані приватні листи.

Ця книга, що містить вичерпний огляд його життя та творчості в одному розкішному томі, є чудовим доповненням до полиць шанувальників мистецтва. Створено у співпраці з архівом Люсіана Фрейда та Девідом Доусоном, директором архіву, і відредаговано Марком Холборном.

Про авторів:

Мартін Гейфорд – письменник і мистецтвознавець журналу The Spectator. Він сидів перед портретом Фрейда, досвід, описаний у «Людині з блакитним шарфом» (2010).

Художника Девіда Доусона представляє Marlborough Fine Art, Лондон. Помічник Фрейда з 1991 року до його смерті, він часто був моделлю для його картин.

Марк Холборн – редактор, дизайнер і письменник, який працював з багатьма провідними художниками протягом останніх 30 років.

Інтимні портрети від одного з найбільш новаторських художників-фігуративістів двадцятого століття та майстра намальованої плоті.

Цей важливий том, підготовлений давнім помічником і другом художника в студії, Девідом Доусоном, містить двадцять великих і рідкісних картин Лючіана Фрейда (1922-2011). Книга починається роботами з 1990 року, коли Фрейд почав малювати художника-перформансу Лі Бауері: ці масштабні портрети Бауері започаткували нове відчуття монументальності у творчості митця. Натхненний вражаючою статурою Бауері, Фрейд почав працювати в більшому масштабі, підкреслюючи фізичну присутність своїх суб’єктів. Незважаючи на свій грандіозний масштаб, предмети Фрейда все ще зображуються з почуттям інтимності, проникливої ​​чесності та психологічної глибини.

Оголене тіло — тема, яка має особливе значення у творчості Фрейда. Нагота була для Фрейда способом отримати більш правдивий портрет. У цій монографії дослідження Фрейда розглядаються по-новому, а Доусон розповідає про те, як Фрейд працював над цими портретами, і розповідає про нього, надаючи інтригуючий погляд за лаштунки життя сучасного майстра репрезентативного мистецтва.

Каталог виставки Lucian Freud: The Self-portraits, яка відкриється в RA в жовтні 2019 року. Автори-експерти, зокрема ті, хто знав і працював з Фрейдом, розкривають підхід до жанру, який є водночас несподіваним та інтригуючим.

Цей 152-сторінковий каталог у твердій обкладинці було опубліковано для супроводу виставки Люсіан Фрейд: Автопортрети в Королівській академії мистецтв, з 27 жовтня 2019 року по 26 січня 2020 року.

Перша книга, яка зосереджена на автопортретах Фрейда, дає захоплююче розуміння психіки цього загадкового, але надзвичайно закритого художника. Автори-експерти Девід Доусон, Джозеф Лео Кернер, Джаспер Шарп і Себастьян Смі розмірковують про місце Фрейда в історії автопортретів і роль, яку відіграють автопортрети в його ширшій творчості.

__________

У 1964 році Лючіан Фрейд поставив своїм студентам Норвічського коледжу мистецтв завдання: намалювати оголені автопортрети та зробити їх «відвертими, промовистими, правдоподібними... справді безсоромними». Це була порада, якої митець часто дотримувався. Внутрішні, непохитні та часто оголені, автопортрети Фрейда дають нам уявлення про розвиток його стилю як художника. Твори постійно нагадують глядачеві про неперевершену присутність художника, незалежно від того, чи він безпосередньо стикається з глядачем, чи присутній лише як тінь чи у відображенні.

Нариси провідних авторитетів, у тому числі тих, хто добре його знав, досліджують життя та творчість Фрейда, аналізують важливість автопортретів у його практиці та інтенсивність, яку він зберігав, вивчаючи власне.

Супроводжує виставку в Королівській академії мистецтв, Лондон (27 жовтня 2019 р. – 26 січня 2020 р.) і Музеї образотворчих мистецтв, Бостон (22 лютого – 25 травня 2020 р.). Виставка організована Королівською академією мистецтв, Лондон, у співпраці з Музеєм образотворчих мистецтв, Бостон.

A revelatory look at this Italian-American modernist painter of highly realistic and romanticized still lifes, landscapes, and portraits drawn from his life in the gay New York scene and rural Vermont.

This first comprehensive survey of the life and work of Luigi Lucioni (1900–1988) places him in the context of fellow Regionalist painters Grant Wood, Charles Sheeler, and Maxfield Parrish. Lucioni is known for meticulously rendered still lifes, landscapes, and arresting portraits drawn from his close-knit circle of queer New York artists and cultural figures, including Paul Cadmus, Jared French, George Platt Lynes, and Lincoln Kirstein. In the early 1930s, Lucioni discovered Vermont, whose landscapes reminded him of northern Italy. It was there that he met Electra Havemeyer Webb, who was to become his single most important patron. For more than 50 years, the New York City–based artist spent every summer painting landscapes of trees, barns, and buildings in Vermont with sharply observed realism and a cool, precise style.

Key scholars examine Lucioni’s oeuvre, materials, techniques, and his role in American modernism.

A landmark book documenting the first-ever art amusement park – launched in 1987 in Hamburg, Germany – in anticipation of its global reintroduction

In the late 1980s, more than 30 of the era’s most acclaimed artists – including Jean-Michel Basquiat, David Hockney, Roy Lichtenstein, Salvador Dalí, and Keith Haring – designed unique and fully operational fairground attractions specifically for the original park, including rides, interactive sculptures, games, performances, and music.

Each artist’s contribution is documented in photographs that show the artist at work, with details of the artworks, and showing the art in the context of the exhibition. Giving access to rare artworks that have not been widely viewed in 35 years, this book is being published for the first time in English with an updated preface.

About the Author:

He is the creator of best-selling books, largescale flying and floating sculptures, and garden artworks, and has had a platinum-selling career as a singer and songwriter.

Thirty-five contemporary artists create their own version of Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe.

Édouard Manet’s Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe (1863) is generally cited as the first modern painting. The entry slide in art history lectures about modernism, the work remains among the “most audacious painting[s] ever seen in France,” as Ross King described it in The Judgement of Paris (2006).

As Manet did with Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe, the most provocative painters today collapse the historical and the contemporary onto one plane. Jeffrey Deitch invited a group of these influential artists to create their own versions, combined here with historical responses to Manet’s painting. The slim volume features these often biting and satirical works alongside essays discussing Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe’s enduring influence on contemporary figurative painting.

About the Authors:

The world of Magic: The Gathering is home to many fantastical characters and creatures, but perhaps none so intriguing as its legends. Legendary dragons, demons, angels, goblins, vampires, merfolk, wizards, and more roam the multiverse. These characters harken back to Magic’s early history, having been introduced in one of the first Magic card sets (1994’s Legends); new legends continue to tell epic stories in lore and on the battlefield through the present day.

Magic: The Gathering: Legends showcases high-quality reproductions of the legendary card art from across the game’s history — in many instances for the first time outside of the card frame — along with accompanying histories written by Jay Annelli. This collection also offers exclusive insight into the art and mythology behind some of Magic: The Gathering’s most powerful, popular, and enduring legends, including Niv-Mizzet, Emmara Tandris, Marit Lage, Sisay, Atraxa, the Eldrazi titans, Edgar Markov, Queen Marchesa, Zurgo, Pia Nalaar, Zacama, King Algenus Kenrith, Snapdax, and many, many more.
