The first exploration of Piranesi’s work as a draughtsman, published to coincide with an exhibition at the British Museum

The Venetian-born artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720–1778) is best known for his dramatic etchings of the architecture and antiquities of his adopted city, Rome, and for his extraordinary flights of spatial fancy, such as Le Carceri (‘Prisons’).

Published to coincide with an exhibition at the British Museum, this original volume explores Piranesi’s skill as a draughtsman. While many studies focus on Piranesi’s activities as a printmaker, this beautifully illustrated book examines the many unanswered questions about his drawings. It establishes a clear relationship between his drawings and his prints, discuss the involvement of studio hands in his late works, and examine how his style as a draughtsman evolved. Piranesi Drawings reveals the quality and impact of the pen and chalk studies of a remarkably talented artist, as shown by the British Museum’s superb collection.

Abstract Action. The splattered oeuvre of a cultural icon

The rebel hero of Abstract Expressionism, Jackson Pollock careened through his life like a firework across the American art landscape, with his urgent, splattered drip paintings his most explosive legacy. This essential introduction traces Pollock’s work and his fame to understand his masterpieces in the greater modernist story and explore his making as a cultural icon.

The rebel hero of Abstract Expressionism, Jackson Pollock (1912–1956) careened through his life like a firework across the American art landscape. Channeling ideas from sources as diverse as Picasso and Mexican surrealism, he rejected convention to develop his own way of seeing, interpreting, and expressing.

Pollock’s most famous works are his drip paintings, where he dripped and poured household enamel paint over the canvas with a variety of instruments, from sticks to syringes, hardened brushes to broken bits of glass. The splattered results pulsate with energy, replacing the refinement of easel and brush with something altogether more immediate, vivid, and physical. To evade the viewer’s search for figurative elements in his paintings, Pollock abandoned titles and identified each work with a neutral number only.

Notoriously reclusive and volatile, struggling with alcoholism, married to fellow Abstract Expressionist Lee Krasner, and killed in a car crash aged just 44, Pollock is as much a compelling celebrity icon as an artistic pioneer. This essential artist introduction explores both his work and his fame to shed light on masterpieces of the modernist story, and the making of a cultural icon.

Whaam! When the kitschy, banal, and mass-market became art

Peaking in the 1960s, Pop Art began as a revolt against mainstream approaches to art and culture and evolved into a wholesale interrogation of modern society, consumer culture, the role of the artist, and of what constituted an artwork.

Focusing on issues of materialism, celebrity, and media, Pop Art drew on mass-market sources, from advertising imagery to comic books, from Hollywood's most famous faces to the packaging of consumer products, the latter epitomized by Andy Warhol's Campbell's soup cans. As well as challenging the establishment with the elevation of such popular, banal, and kitschy images, Pop Art also deployed methods of mass-production, reducing the role of the individual artist with mechanized techniques such as screen printing.

With featured artists including Andy Warhol, Allen Jones, Ed Ruscha, Robert Indiana, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, and Roy Lichtenstein, this book introduces the full reach and influence of a defining modernist movement.

About the series:

- Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Genre series features:
- approximately 100 colour illustrations with explanatory captions
- a detailed illustrated introduction plus a timeline of the most important political, cultural, and social events that took place during that period
- a selection of the most important works of the epoch, each presented on a 2-page spread with a full-page image and accompanying interpretation, as well as a portrait and brief biography of the artist

Paul Cézanne, Georges Seurat, Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and others began as Impressionists but soon extended their explorations of the world around them to create highly personal work. 

With their foundations in the bright colours of Impressionism and the break from traditional representational art, the Post-Impressionists worked alone but collectively created the bridge into the expressionism of the 20th Century. Their delightful and evocative masterpieces are celebrated in this gorgeous new book.

The spectacular beauty of Raphael’s tapestries as you have never seen it before

In 1515, Pope Leo X commissioned the Italian painter Raffaello Sanzio (1483–1520), now generally known as Raphael in English, to make the cartoons for a series of ten tapestries with scenes from the lives of Saints Peter and Paul. This commission played an instrumental part in the stylistic development of the Flemish tapestries, a marvellous illustration of princely splendour in the sixteenth century. Under Habsburg rule, Brussels soon emerged as a leading manufactory for exquisite products. Raphael’s designs are among the most successful series in the history of tapestry production.

This publication shows the enormous richness of the tapestries through dozens of details. It accompanies a collection exhibition of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, home to the former imperial tapestry collection, from 26 September 2023 to 14 January 2024.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir's timelessly charming paintings still reflect our ideals of happiness, love, and beauty. TASCHEN's Renoir: Painter of Happiness, the most comprehensive retrospective of his work yet published, examines the personal history and motivation behind the legend. Though he began by painting landscapes in the Impressionist style, Renoir (1841-1919) found his true affinity once he started painting portraits, after which he abandoned the Impressionists altogether. Though often misunderstood and criticized, Renoir remains one of history's most well-loved painters — undoubtedly because his works exude such warmth, tenderness and good cheer.

In an incisive text tracing the artist's career and stylistic evolution, Gilles Néret shows how Renoir reinvented the female form in painting, with his everyday goddesses and their plump forms, rounded hips and breasts. This last phase in Renoir's work, in which he returned to the simple pleasure of painting the female nude in his baigneuses series, was his most innovative and stylistically influential, and an inspiration to both Matisse and Picasso.

With a complete chronology, bibliography, index of works, and 600 sumptuous, large-format colour reproductions, as well as photos and sketches illustrating Renoir's life and work, here is the essential work of reference on this enduring master artist.

Master of the human form. Rodin's ode to flesh in bronze, marble, and clay

One of the most celebrated sculptors of all time, Auguste Rodin transformed sculptural substance not only into human forms, but into the evocation of human experience. In bronze, marble, and clay, his captivating works summon up all the passions, joys, and vices of life.

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.

• A catalogue of the major exhibition of remarkable paintings by Mark Rothko at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris, from October 18, 2023 to April 2, 2024
• This publication has been produced in close collaboration with the artist’s family
• Two page fold-outs plunge the reader deep into Rothko’s oeuvre

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.

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.

Опублікований з нагоди великої ретроспективи, цей чудовий новий огляд зосереджується на картинах, пов’язаних з роками, які Хоакін Соролья провів у Парижі.

Уродженець Валенсії, іспанський імпресіоніст Хоакін Соролла (1863–1923) вперше поїхав до Парижа в 1885 році як молодий художник у віці двадцяти трьох років. Він виставлявся на міжнародних салонах, отримавши Гран-прі на Всесвітній виставці в 1900 році, а в 1906 році він вперше виставлявся в Galerie Georges Petit, одній з головних галерей імпресіоністів. Виставка мала приголомшливий успіх і допомогла створити міжнародну репутацію Sorolla. Відомий своїми енергійними композиціями, незвичайною кольоровою палітрою та вільними, сяючими мазками пензля, залиті сонцем пейзажі, пляжні сцени та світлові портрети Соролла вразили навіть таких сучасників, як Клод Моне. Ця важлива книга, багато ілюстрована та нещодавно досліджені есе відомих учених, відкриває багато нової інформації про діяльність Соролли та стосунки з іншими митцями в Європі.

Включено понад сто картин, що відображають кар’єру художника, від його ранніх робіт у Парижі, в яких чітко помітний вплив французьких імпресіоністів, до характерних картин, які відображають його зрілий і знаменитий стиль.

David Hockney reflects upon life and art as he experiences lockdown in rural Normandy

‘We have lost touch with nature, rather foolishly as we are a part of it, not outside it. This will in time be over and then what? What have we learned?... The only real things in life are food and love, in that order, just like [for] our little dog Ruby... and the source of art is love. I love life.'
David Hockney

On turning eighty, David Hockney sought out rustic tranquility for the first time: a place to watch the sunset and the change of the seasons; a place to live a life of simple pleasures, undisturbed and undistracted; a place to keep the madness of the world at bay. So when Covid-19 and lockdown struck, it made little difference to life at La Grande Cour, the centuries-old Normandy farmhouse where Hockney set up a studio a year before, in time to paint the arrival of spring. In fact, he relished the enforced isolation as an opportunity for even greater devotion to his art.

Spring Cannot be Cancelled is an uplifting manifesto that affirms art’s capacity to divert and inspire. It is based on a wealth of new conversations and correspondence between Hockney and the art critic Martin Gayford, his long-time friend and collaborator. Their exchanges are illustrated by a selection of Hockney’s new, unpublished Normandy drawings and paintings alongside works by van Gogh, Monet, Bruegel and others.

We see how Hockney is propelled ever forward by his infectious enthusiasms and sense of wonder. A lifelong contrarian, he has been in the public eye for sixty years, yet remains entirely unconcerned by the view of critics or even history. He is utterly absorbed by his four acres of northern France and by the themes that have fascinated him for decades: light, colour, space, perception, water, trees. He has much to teach us, not only about how to see … but about how to live.

Талант, який лежить в основі культових робіт Radiohead, уперше розкриває його власними словами та творчий процес, який приніс йому культову репутацію

Неспокійна та плідна постать, Стенлі Донвуд широко вважається одним із найважливіших образотворчих художників свого покоління. Його впливова робота для Radiohead охоплює багато практик і естетику, що постійно розвивається протягом 23 років, від музичного оформлення до інсталяцій і друку.

Тут він уперше показує свої особисті блокноти, фотографії, ескізи та покинуті маршрути до культових робіт Radiohead. Розташовані в хронологічному порядку, кожен із розділів присвячений основній роботі – будь то обкладинка альбому, рекламний твір чи особистий проект – представлений у вигляді покрокового робочого прикладу, від спекулятивних ідей і ескізів до експериментів у Photoshop і готового твору. Супровідні розповіді Донвуда пояснюють натхнення та історії, що стоять за його творчим процесом, а також те, як це – працювати з групою, розказані з його типовим гострим гумором і великодушністю духу. Зі скарбницею архівного матеріалу це перше глибоке занурення у творчу практику Донвуда та мистецьку свободу, яку йому надає робота у великій музичній групі.

There Will Be No Quiet є обов’язковим для прочитання та перегляду для шанувальників гурту та всіх, хто цікавиться вибуховою сумішшю мистецької випадковості, музичної винахідливості та творчої оригінальності.
