Patterns in Art Francesca Leoneschi

PATTERNS IN ART

A CLOSER LOOK AT THE OLD MASTERS By Francesca Leoneschi A VISUAL DELIGHT, AND A DESIGNER'S DREAM-THE DECORATIVE DETAILS OF GREAT EUROPEAN PAINTINGS TRANSFORMED INTO BEAUTIFUL TWO-DIMENSIONAL

PATTERNS

Richly embroidered robes. Intricate lace collars. Elaborately laid floor tiles. Delicately carved and modeled cornices and capitals. These are among the details of decorative art that the Old Masters lovingly rendered in their paintings, to establish a setting, convey a portrait subject's social status, or sometimes just enliven a scene. Together these details-so easy to overlook in the imposing harmony of draftsmanship, color, and composition that makes up a great painting-form a veritable history of ornament. This inventive book plucks these decorative motifs from the background of paintings by masters like Bronzino, Fra Angelico, and Jacques-Louis David and transforms them into vibrant two-dimensional patterns. Seeing these patterns side-by-side with the original paintings deepens our appreciation of both. _Pattern in Painting_ will be a resource for graphic designers, and a revelation

for all art lovers.

WOMEN OF THE 1920S

STYLE, GLAMOUR, AND THE AVANT-GARDE

By Thomas Bleitner

WOMEN'S INTEREST

EXPERIENCE THE GLAMOUR AND EXCITEMENT OF THE JAZZ AGE, THROUGH THE LIVES OF THE WOMEN WHO DEFINED IT It was a time of unimagined new freedoms. From the cafés of Paris to Hollywood's silver screen, women were exploring new modes of expression and new lifestyles. In countless aspects of life, they dared to challenge accepted notions of a “fairer sex,” and opened new doors for the generations to come. What’s more, they did it with joy, humor, and unapologetic charm. Exploring the lives of seventeen artists, writers, designers, dancers, adventurers, and athletes, this splendidly illustrated book brings together dozens of photographs with an engaging text. In these pages, readers will meet such iconoclastic women as the lively satirist Dorothy Parker, the dancer Joesphine Baker, and aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart, whose stories continue to offer inspiration for our time. _Women of the 1920s_ is a daring and stylish addition to any bookshelf of women's history.

Zen in Japanese Culture

Gavin Blair

ZEN IN JAPANESE CULTURE

By Gavin Blair

A VISUAL JOURNEY THROUGH ZEN’S INFLUENCE ON JAPANESE LIFE, FROM CALLIGRAPHY TO THE MARTIAL ARTS Formed by a convergence of the Buddha’s teachings with Taoism and local tradition, Zen has had a profound impact on the art and culture of Japan. As a philosophy, Zen promotes a recognition of emptiness and impermanence. As an aesthetic, it is marked by striking simplicity and a reverence for space. It operates on the principle of _wabi-sabi_, the harmony found in all things transient and imperfect. Countless Japanese artists, artisans, and designers have engaged with the Zen tradition, their work the fruit of its wisdom. Author Gavin Blair has spent nearly two decades as a writer and journalist in Japan. In these pages, he shows how Zen has found expression in all aspects of Japanese culture, be it the tea ceremony, origami, or bonsai. Gorgeous full-color photographs highlight the simple beauty of the Zen aesthetic, from the hanging _noren_ curtains that adorn entrances and doorways, to the intricate craftwork of a _wagasa_umbrella. Together these images speak to the quiet power of Zen. Above all, Zen is an invitation to contemplate the mind, to cultivate harmony with nature and ease through understanding. This book is for any reader who is curious about Japanese culture and the Zen

tradition.

A World History of

Photography Naomi Rosenblum Diana Stoll A WORLD HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY

FIFTH EDITION

By Naomi Rosenblum

and Diana Stoll

AN UP-TO-DATE EDITION OF THE AUTHORITATIVE HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY—WIDELY EMBRACED BY BOTH STUDENTS AND GENERAL READERS Naomi Rosenblum's classic history of photography traces the evolution of this young art form chronologically and thematically. Exploring the diverse roles that photography has played in the communication of ideas, Rosenblum devotes special attention to topics such as portraiture, documentation, advertising, and photojournalism, and to the camera as a means of personal artistic expression. Her text is illustrated with nearly nine hundred images by photographers both celebrated and little known, arranged in stimulating juxtapositions that illuminate their visual power. This fifth edition of _A World History of Photography_ is substantively revised and updated. The photography of the past several decades is reevaluated from a contemporary perspective, and international developments are covered in greater detail. The main strands of today's complex universe of digital image-making are masterfully summarized and placed in their historical context, and the careers of representative contemporary photographers are studied in

depth.

Thoughtfully written, carefully and abundantly illustrated, and provided with a full apparatus—including a chronology, glossary, and annotated bibliography—Rosenblum's volume remains the indispensable work on its subject.

The Pre-Raphaelites Aurélie

Petiot

THE PRE-RAPHAELITES

By Aurélie Petiot

MEET THE RENEGADES OF VICTORIAN ART IN THIS GORGEOUSLY ILLUSTRATED EXPLORATION OF THEIR WORK AND INFLUENCE In the revolutionary year of 1848, a group of young British artists set out to return a lost vibrancy to European art. Calling themselves the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, they mounted an artistic front against what they saw as the confining standards of the Victorian art world, and the dehumanizing aspects of the industrial age. Among their ranks were Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Everett Millais, and William Hunt, who found followers in Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris. Their works drew from Shakespeare, Keats, and Tennyson. They also depicted religious and contemporary themes in striking realism, bringing viewers into intimate contact with the subjects and causing scandal in

their time.
