Коллекция Петера и Ирене Людвиг одной из первых в мире объединила в своем составе современные друг другу американское и советское искусство. В этом каталоге, изданном к одноименной выставке в Мартин-Гропиус-Бау, организованной к 30-летнему юбилею падения «железного занавеса», впервые сопоставлены живописные произведения из собрания Людвига, которые были созданы по разные стороны стены, разделявшей два лагеря. Это сопоставление показывает, как художники эпохи «холодной войны» реагировали на политические и эстетические вызовы времени и отражали разные представления о свободе человека и общества.

В книге собрано около 150 работ таких художников, как Энди Уорхол, Илья Кабаков, Джаспер Джонс, Эрик Булатов, Джо Бэр, Виктор Пивоваров, Ли Лозано, Иван Чуйков, Джексон Поллок, Наталья Нестерова, Элен Франкенталер.

The Peter and Irene Ludwig Collection was one of the first in the world to bring together works of US and Soviet art in the time period when they originated. Occasioned by the 30th anniversary of the opening of the iron curtain, in this book, which accompanies the eponymous exhibition at the Gropius Bau, works contained in the Ludwig Collection from both sides of the East-West conflict are compared for the first time. In this dialogue, it becomes apparent how Cold War era artists responded to the political and aesthetic issues of their age and negotiated concepts of individual and social freedom. The volume features some 150 works, including ones by Andy Warhol, Ilya Kabakov, Jackson Pollock, Erik Bulatov, Lee Lozano, Natalya Nesterova, and Helen Frankenthaler.

In its most prestigious exhibition to date, the Fondation Beyeler has devoted itself to the early paintings and sculptures of Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) that date from his so-called Blue and Pink periods to early Cubism. The paintings from this stage of his career, all produced between 1901 and 1907, are milestones on the road Picasso took to becoming the most famous artist of the twentieth century. They can be counted among modernism’s most beautiful and most emotional works, and are also some of the most precious works of art ever to exist.

This comprehensive exhibition and its companion catalogue feature around eighty masterpieces, most of which are only rarely loaned out by famous museums and private collections around the world.EXHIBITIONFebruary 3 – May 26, 2019 Fondation Beyeler, Riehen/Basel

This beautiful volume documents an important moment in the history of the watercolour, as its practitioners moved from the tinted drawings to the creation of fully fledged works of art that rivaled oil paintings in their expressiveness and technical brilliance. With its rolling hills, cloud-laden skies and ever-shifting light, Britain was the perfect setting for such a revolution, as artists packed sketchbooks, brushes and paints, and headed for the countryside. Authors Wilton and Lyles document the evolution of the British watercolour, from the more classically inspired eighteenth-century landscapes to the vivid experiments in Naturalism and Romanticism, with their concomitant studies in light and atmosphere. Over 300 exquisite reproductions allow readers to appreciate the delicate colours and fine lines of these important works, while the authors’ authoritative and eminently readable texts enhance the overall experience of witnessing the birth of an independent medium, and some of the most breathtaking examples of watercolours the world has ever known.

A sumptuously illustrated history of the Eternal City — the capital of Italy and world art — as captured by painters from Antiquity through the twentieth century.

Traditionally founded by its namesake Romulus in 753 BC, Rome began modestly, as a little village of thatched huts on the Palatine Hill. By the third century BC, it controlled the entire Italian peninsula, and by the first century BC, much of the known world. Rome’s fortunes have stumbled more than once since then — indeed, there have famously been times when cows grazed on the Forum — but it has always reemerged as a leading city, thanks to its status as the seat of Christendom. Through the centuries, artists from all over Europe have been drawn to Rome, both to work in the service of the Church and to learn from the accumulated masterpieces.

This luxuriously oversized book uses Rome’s artistic riches to chronicle the eventful history of the city itself. We are shown the customs and beliefs of the ancient Romans through their own frescoes and mosaics, and their greatest deeds in the history paintings of later masters such as Poussin and David. We follow the fitful rise of Rome, which eventually blossoms forth into the supreme achievements of Michelangelo and Raphael. With eyes uplifted to frescoed vaults, we watch the great decorators of the Baroque add to the city’s store of monuments, which are then deftly — and sometimes quite imaginatively — recorded by the vedutisti of the eighteenth century. Finally, in canvases by a surprising range of nineteenth- and twentieth-century artists — from Sargent to de Chirico, and even de Kooning — we see Rome in its role as the capital of a unified Italy, and of the modern Western imagination.

With its more than three hundred full-color illustrations, including four spectacular gatefolds; its insightful text, written by leading art historians; and its valuable apparatus, including capsule biographies of 175 artists; The History of Rome in Painting is an important achievement in scholarship and publishing and a fitting tribute to the Eternal City.

Definitive in its scholarship and thrilling in its scope, this lavishly illustrated volume offers the first book-length study of Luca Signorelli (1450-1523), sometimes described as the "least-known major artist" of the Renaissance. Twenty years of painstaking archival research have produced this portrait of Signorelli in public and private life - an adventurous painter who believed art was divinely inspired, and an affectionate family man who participated energetically in public life.

In his paintings - of which the Last Judgement in Orvieto cathedral is his undisputed masterpiece - Signorelli integrated his observations of daily life with a fresh and sensitive approach to representing religious subjects. A student of Piero della Franscesca, Signorelli's work and influence carried over into the early 16th century, though he was ultimately eclipsed by his friends Raphael and Michelangelo.

Signorelli's work is represented in museums around the world, and this book now offers new audiences and scholars a complete picture of one of the Renaissance's most significant and intriguing artists.

J.M.W. Turner was arguably the greatest landscape and marine painter ever. His output was prodigious: some five hundred and fifty oil paintings, over two thousand highly detailed and finely finished watercolours, and almost twenty thousand sketches, studies and rough watercolours. He excelled in every branch of landscape and marine painting, from elaborate history pictures and idealised scenes in the classical tradition, to tiny, jewel-like watercolours of contemporary life on land and sea made for subsequent engraved reproduction. This book takes us on a grand tour of the artist’s works.

Лоджія, або веранда з колонадою, на другому поверсі Апостольського палацу є одним із найвидатніших скарбів мистецтва Ватикану; його оздоблення, розроблене Рафаелем (1483-1520) і виконане його майстернею в 1517-19 роках, уособлює дух італійського Відродження в його синтезі християнських і класичних тем. Кожне з тринадцяти квадратних склепінь лоджії Рафаеля містить чотири фрески зі сценами з Біблії, від створення світу до Тайної вечері. Водночас штукатурку інших архітектурних елементів прикрашають «гротески» — химерні арабески, оживлені різноманітними фігурами людей і тварин — за зразком давньоримських настінних розписів.

Це новаторське дослідження про лоджію Рафаеля, перше опубліковане англійською мовою, складається з чотирьох частин. Перший і другий стосуються відповідно гротесків і сцен з Біблії, а третій розглядає життя і художні стилі членів майстерні Рафаеля, які працювали з ним на лоджії. У четвертій частині простежується тривалий вплив лоджії: гротескний орнаментальний стиль, розроблений Рафаелем, був наслідований навіть у коридорах Капітолію Сполучених Штатів, а сцени з Біблії послужили впливовими моделями для популярних гравюр. Ця книга, проілюстрована нещодавно замовленими кольоровими фотографіями, підтверджує центральне значення лоджії Рафаеля для історії мистецтва.

There seems to be an endless number of deceptively real objects depicted in still lifes: dewdrops on fragile flower petals, reflections of light on glass goblets and precious silver dishes, candied sweets in Chinese porcelain, the fine hairs on a peach, the soft feathers of a songbird, the sallow tinge to a skull. However, the details of this genre are not exhausted in the delicate rendering of varying surfaces, because each pictorial element can also symbolize religious or moral content or be a reference to the irretrievability of time gone by - tempus fugit! This volume presents, on large-format plates, a splendid selection of works by some of the principal masters of the still-life genre, such as Jan Brueghel the Elder, Georg Flegel, Sebastian Stoskopff, Jan Davidsz de Heem, Abraham Mignon, and Jean Siméon Chardin. These choice treasures of German, Netherlandish, Flemish, and French still-life painting exemplify nearly all of the different ways of playing with this genre.

Now available in a lovely new gift edition, this stunning bouquet of romantic paintings brings together two important aspects of Victorian culture - the Pre-Raphaelite movement and the language of flowers - in one exquisite volume.

Few artistic movements capture classic notions of beauty as romantically as the Pre-Raphaelites - a group of 19th-century painters and poets who aimed to revive the purer art of the late medieval period. In this beautiful volume, Debra N. Mancoff, an expert on Pre-Raphaelite art and the floral lexicon, presents breathtaking examples, which illuminate the meaning of flowers in all aspects of Victorian culture. She offers brief commentaries on individual paintings as well as biographies of the period's leading artists and their models. A captivating introduction to an artistic movement, this exquisitely produced book is also a romantic keepsake of an artistic sensibility that speaks volumes.

The rituals of Siberian shamans, the ancient funerary sculptures from the steppes seen as a crystallised presence of archaic and everlasting forms of worship, Chinese popular prints, Japanese engravings, Theosophic and Anthroposophic theories and Indian philosophy are but some of the elements that inspired the aesthetic and theoretical pursuits of the new Russian artists and writers just before the October 1917 Revolution.

Written to accompany the exhibition in Florence, this book is devoted to the complex relation between Russian art and the East – be it the Russian East or the Far East – with a special focus on the radical artists who shaped the development of modern art a century ago.

Figures such as Léon Bakst, Alexandre Benois, Pavel Filonov, Natal’ia Goncharova, Wassily Kandinsky, Mikhail Larionov and Kazimir Malevich were deeply aware of the significance of the East for their art, and contributed to launching a rich debate that left a deep and permanent mark on their artistic praxis. The catalogue and the exhibition also draw a connection between the chief representatives of the Russian avant-garde and other lesser-known but just as important artists of the period such as Nikolai Kalmakov, Sergei Konenkov and Vasilii Vatagin, some of whose works are being displayed for the first time in the West.

A celebration of the Impressionists artists, including Monet, Renoir and Pissarro, whose paintings are inextricably linked to the birth of modern art. 

Today, our passion for these artists remains, and their paintings are amongst the best-loved works in the history of art. By choosing to paint extraordinary pictures of modernity that shocked the bourgeois elite, the Impressionists challenged the academic ideals of the French Salons, rejected the past and embracing colour to portray a sense of joie de vivre. Their revolutionary use of colour, free brushstrokes and modern subject matter, painted en plain air gave rise to one of the most important and influential art movements of the nineteenth century. 

Featuring many of the most famous and important pieces by the groups’ key figures, this beautifully illustrated reference book also includes a collection of less well-known but equally important works to show the diversity of this exceptional movement.

Оживляючи життя та творчість великого художника, Кандинський досліджує надзвичайну творчість одного з найвідоміших та найвпливовіших російських художників. Ця книга розповідає про його художній розвиток, від раннього народного мистецтва, натхненного його рідною Росією, через його участь у групі Der Blaue Reiter («Синій вершник») та Баухаузі, де він викладав протягом кількох років, до пізніших абстрактних картин, які так впізнавані сьогодні.

Складна та цікава особистість, Кандинський навчався на юриста, перш ніж раптово звернутися до мистецтва у віці 30 років. Хоча на міжнародному рівні його називають «батьком абстракції», ця концепція мучила його роками, перш ніж застосувати її у своїй пізнішій творчості.

Вплив Кандинського як у його творах, так і в його картинах був величезним. Він, у свою чергу, перебував під впливом багатьох різних течій, від модерну до символізму та сюрреалізму. Ця книга відображає його художній прогрес і є вражаючим прикладом виняткового художника.
