This volume is considered the most comprehensive monograph about the life and career of the female pioneer who integrated abstract painting, music, and dance, Lalan.

Born in Guizhou, Xie Jinglan (nicknamed “Lalan”) was a multidisciplinary artist trained across various art forms, including painting, music, and dance. Excelling in all such categories, Lalan united these fields in her artistic practice to create an oeuvre that epitomized “synthesized art.” Her lifelong explorations resulted in an unusual kind of exhibition/performance named Spectacle, which assimilates dance and music within her artworks. Her works can be found in important Western and Asian museums, such as the Centre Pompidou Musée National d’Art Moderne, and Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, Shanghai Art Museum, and others.

This book reviews her entire career by selecting her most representative masterpieces and celebrating her life journey as the backdrop, between dream and drama. The materials in this book have been collected by a dedicated research team through a painstaking process lasting more than two years.

Lalan’s paintings are a melting pot of many important features inspired by traditional Chinese culture on the one hand (including the spirit of Taoism, the practice of qigong, and the essence of ink landscapes during the Song Dynasty), and Western abstract painting on the other.

About the Author:

Lalan studied music, dance, and art and produced works combining all three disciplines from the 1960s onward. Véronique Bergen is a philosopher, novelist, poet, and author of monographs and articles on contemporary artists.

Accompanying catalogue of an exhibition at Gagosian Gallery, Paris. The catalogue includes a fully illustrated, comprehensive listing of the paintings, drawings, and prints in Lichtenstein’s Expressionism series. Among the styles and movements appropriated by Lichtenstein, his borrowing of Expressionist motifs — from Alexei Jawlensky’s close-up, pensive faces to Ernst Ludwig Kirchner’s jagged, feline figures — strikes the clearest irony. Including key paintings, sculpture, drawings, and woodcuts, this catalogue demonstrates the bold paradox that Lichtenstein posed by translating Expressionist subjects into the primary colors and pop flatness of his signature style.

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.

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.

Лауреат Пулітцерівської премії мистецтвознавець Себастьян Смі є автором книги The Art of Rivalry: Four Friendships, Betrayals and Breakthroughs in Modern Art (2016).

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.

Пролистать книгу Luigi Lucioni: Modern Light

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:

André Heller is an acclaimed international multimedia artist. 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. In addition to directing shows, plays, circuses, films, and operas, he has also designed fire spectacles, labyrinths, and museums. He lives and works between Vienna and Marrakech.

This major new book on René Magritte offers fresh interpretations of the artist’s use of symbols and imagery to articulate his particular brand of surrealism.

In this beautiful monograph, a collection of revelatory essays focuses on five common images in Rene Magritte’s work — fire, shadows, curtains, words, and the fragmented body. Featuring vibrant reproductions of more than 100 works, this book helps readers understand how the artist employed these images in ways both deceptive and realistic. 

The book explores how he distorted accepted interpretations of classic symbols; why he so often used words as elements of his paintings; and how he applied aspects of the theater in his works. As Magritte’s paintings have become subsumed by the very commercialism they sought to ridicule, this volume takes a fresh look at an artist whose familiarity masks an incredible gift for deception and rapier-like intellect.

A landmark monograph on an unprecedented scale that allows all aspects of Mark Rothko’s career to be heard in full voice, published in close collaboration with the artist’s family and featuring beloved works from major collections as well as never-before-seen canvases and paintings on paper.

Deluxe and comprehensive, this revelatory volume examines the brilliance of Mark Rothko (1903–1970), a pioneer of the New York School and major figure in the Abstract Expressionist movement. Illustrated with more than 275 images that explore his paintings, prints, and works on paper, this book highlights the best-known and also lesser-known works by Rothko — from his early figurative and Surrealist works to his mesmerizing color-field paintings of immense scale to the more restricted palette of his luminous later works and his final series of black-and-gray paintings. Among Rothko’s artistic philosophies, he held that painting was a deeply psychological and spiritual experience through which basic human emotions could be communicated. This is the first book to include foldouts that highlight works from the Rothko Chapel in Houston and the Rothko Room at the Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C.

Kate Rothko Prizel and Christopher Rothko draw on intimate knowledge of the artworks and the artist’s life to give a fuller picture of their father and place him within the context of art history; they endeavor to give an impartial portrait—the man and his work—while introducing personal details where they can enlighten. Alexander Nemerov and Hiroshi Sugimoto provide reflections about the artist’s work.

About the Author:

Christopher Rothko is the son of Mark Rothko and is actively involved in managing his father's legacy. He has helped prepare more than two dozen Rothko exhibitions. Kate Rothko Prizel is the daughter of Mark Rothko. She fought and won a prolonged legal battle that resulted in the return of almost 700 of her father’s works to his estate. Alexander Nemerov is Professor at Stanford University. Hiroshi Sugimoto is a contemporary photographer and architect.

Пролистать книгу Mark Rothko

Mark Rothko's awe-inspiring yet deceptively simple, iconic colour field paintings belie the mythical and emotional complexity behind them. 

Rothko put his heart and soul into creating works that were to act upon the viewer in an almost physical way, progressing from figurative and symbolist works to eventually using shimmering and enveloping colour to elevate you to higher spiritual awareness. 

This gorgeous book enables you to discover the themes, thinking and methodology behind the oeuvre, from Greek tragedy and Nietzsche to music and colour, whilst experiencing his pieces displayed in full, free of clutter, for you to immerse yourself and be swept away. 

Travel is a fundamental experience of human existence. For Max Beckmann it was of existential importance both in a symbolic, but also in a deeply personal sense. In the 1920s, he regularly traveled to the noble health resorts and palace hotels on the Dutch, Italian, and French coasts. His defamation as a "degenerate" artist by the Nazi regime, however, forced him to retreat, first from Frankfurt to Berlin and subsequently into exile in Amsterdam. His emigration to the United States marked the culmination of a life entwined with the longing to travel as well as uprooting, transit and exile. Max Beckmann. DEPARTURE assembles an outstanding selection of artworks and initiates a dialogue with hitherto unseen objects and materials from the Max Beckmann Archive. It shows Beckmann’s relationship to film and literature as a producer of images of aspirations and longing resonating with notions of identity and home.

About the Author:

Max Beckmann (1884-1950) is one of the most important artists of the 20th century. A star of the Berlin Secession, Beckmann’s career was slowed by World War I and a personal crisis, but continued in the 1920s. After the Nazis forced him to resign his professorship in Frankfurt in 1933, he went into exile in Amsterdam in 1937 and subsequently emigrated to the US in 1947. Teaching in St. Louis and New York, he became the most successful German artist in the United States of his time.

With an engaging text by renowned Michelangelo scholar William E. Wallace, Michelangelo: The Complete Sculpture, Painting, Architecture brings together in one exquisite volume the powerful sculptures, the awe-inspiring paintings, and the classical architectural works of one of the greatest artists of all time. Including everything from his sculptures Pietàs and David to his beautiful paintings of the Sistine Chapel and the Doni Tondo, the book provides an opportunity to view Michelangelo’s work as never before, and to more fully understand the artist who, through his work, spoke of his life and times. The frescoes are specially printed on onion skin paper to recreate the actual appearance of light reflecting off of the plaster walls. The stunning black-and-white photography of the sculptures is printed in four colors to bring out the rich details of the marble.

About the Author:

William E. Wallace is associate professor of art history at Washington University in St. Louis, and is an internationally recognized authority on Michelangelo and his contemporaries.

Відкрийте для себе еволюцію мистецтва Модільяні через призму його стосунків із торговцем мистецтвом Полем Гійомом.

Цей чудово ілюстрований каталог і супутня виставка в Musée de l’Orangerie у Парижі демонструють, як партнерство Модільяні з його галеристом Полем Гійомом вплинуло на його живопис. Коли Амедео Модільяні прибув до Парижа в 1906 році, єврейсько-італійський художник був художником. Його зустріч зі скульптором Костянтином Бранкузі в 1909 році стала відкриттям і надихнула Модільяні займатися скульптурою — майже виключно — до 1914 року, коли він зустрів арт-торговця Поля Гійома. Наслідки цієї зустрічі були раптовими й тотальними. Модільяні повернувся до живопису і ніколи не озирався назад. Цей том розкриває взаємозв’язок, який спонукав цю зміну, через аналіз картин Модільяні та творів Гійома. Маючи під рукою ці ресурси, читач отримує глибоке уявлення про цей інтригуючий дует, чиї поєднані таланти художника та промоутера залишили незгладимий слід в історії мистецтва двадцятого століття. Книга підкреслює їхню співучасть і спільні інтереси до африканського мистецтва, літератури та поезії.
