Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Taking us back to the earliest days of citiesand the earliest days of human civilizationin Mesopotamia, Pedro Azara in Cornerstone offers a contemporary view on the rise and growth of early cities and urban culture. Investigating ruins and exploring archaeological sites, Azara helps us understand how the earliest cities looked and felt, what the first architects and their buildings were like, and what nascent aesthetic ideals they upheld. Azaras scholarship is rigorous and far-reaching, but his writing is agile, direct, and entertaining as he not only brings the far-distant past to life, but teases out its relevance for our understanding of contemporary culture as well. The result is a fascinating glimpse into our history and a fresh new take on the origins of the civilization of some of our most ancient ancestors.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A vivid portrait of Picassos early life and the city he called home. Part biography of the young artist, part guide to Barcelona, Picasso Barcelona tells the story of the relationship between Picasso and the city that saw him evolve into a modern painter. Rafart takes his reader on a journey through Picassos early world, following in the artists footsteps and discovering its sites through his eyes. On the way, he pauses to reflect on Picassos many friends, his early works, and the places he sketched, painted, and lived. In this portrait of Barcelona at the turn of the century, Rafart conjures up haunting images of a city that no longer exists, but which served as the formative inspiration for an artist set to take the world by storm. Published in cooperation with the Museu Picasso, Picasso Barcelona marks the 50th anniversary of Pablo Picassos death in 1973 and the 60th anniversary of the creation of his museum in Barcelona.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This beautifully illustrated book, the catalog for an exhibition on view at the National Museum of Art of Catalonia in Barcelona and coorganized with the Picasso Museum in Paris, explores important affinities between Picasso and Romanesque art. Using two key moments as starting points, Juan Jose Lahuerta and Emilia Philippot first discuss the summer of 1906, when Picasso stayed in the village of Gosol in the Catalan Pyrenees, and then turn to 1934, as he visited the Romanesque art collections of what is today the National Museum of Art of Catalonia. Picassos discovery of the Romanesque nurtured his interest in other primitive or ethnographic art, later echoed in such decisive works as Les Demoiselles dAvignon. Importantly, while Lahuerta and Philippot avoid any attempt to trace direct Romanesque influences on Picassoas they note, his work consistently escapes such linear accountsthey do demonstrate that Picassos interest in the twelfth-century sculpture Virgin from Gosol, his lifelong fascination with the theme of the crucifixion, and his study of the skull all reflect elements that were also of major importance in Romanesque art and architecture. What these shared features allow, Lahuerta and Philippot ultimately argue, is not only a richer understanding of Picassos work, but also a rediscovering and reinvention of Romanesque art in our contemporary moment, causing the medieval to become refreshingly and paradoxically modern.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In his Columns of Smoke series, Juan Jose Lahuerta takes on the enormously ambitious task of re-reading modernity, offering us fresh ways of looking at it while drawing new links between the ideas of architecture and ornamentation, with a special focus on how they have been treated in print. While the first volume of Columns of Smoke considered epoch-making architect Adolf Looss relationship with photography, here Lahuerta turns to the Classical strand in Looss architecture and to his written workand specifically his engagement with architectural and artistic theory. Lahuerta pays particular attention to Looss seminal Ornament and Crime, the essay that established disornamentation as the signal feature of twentieth-century architecture. Through close analysis of that essay he unearths the racially charged, pseudoscientific ideas from early anthropology that underpin Looss thinking. Sure to be controversial, this new reading of Looss landmark writings calls the whole disornamentation project into question, and in the process, it reveals a radically new perspective on a major turn in modern design and culture.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Legible-Visible explores the relationship between print publications and audio-visual documents, two of the most important media in the social and cultural landscape of our timeand two forms that also define the evolution of contemporary art in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Mela Davila and Maite Munoz here show how the arrival of inexpensive home video technologies in the 1970s and then of digital media at the turn of the millennium sparked revolutions in the creation and diffusion of both video artworks and artists publications. Davila proposes a theoretical and historical framework for works long dismissed by the market because of their serial nature, while Munoz shows how artists have taken advantage of the permeability between publications and audovisual elements. The first book-length work to study artists publications and video in relation to each other, Legible-Visible will enable new ways of thinking about a number of contemporary artists and their work. Legible-Visible explores the relationship between print publications and audiovisual documents, two of the most important media in the social and cultural landscape of our time--and two forms that also define the evolution of contemporary art in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Columns of Smoke is a four-volume collection. The first volume includes Photography or Life and Popular Mies, which illuminate overlooked aspects of modern architecture and photography and reveal a more nuancedand plausibleconception of the modern world. In Photography or Life, Juan Jose Lahuerta contrasts well-known images tied to the history of twentieth-century architecture with anonymous graphic materials and pictures from the popular press. In doing so, he demonstrates that pointing a camera at a building is neither natural nor innocentit involves deliberate and telling decisions. His analysis of the work of Adolf Loos and Le Corbusier, for example, suggests irreconcilable differences between the two architects that represent radically opposed approaches to architecture and life. Furthermore, a close study of snapshots of Walter Gropiuss Bauhaus building taken by teachers and students leads to new ways of understanding the myths associated with the Dessau school. Using the same method in Popular Mies, Lahuerta looks at photographs of architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohes work and shows that Mies was influenced not only by Stieglitz and Camera Work, but also a mass culture that enjoyed zeppelins, music halls, x-rays, and phantasmagorical gadgets. At the same time, in their portrayals of Miess work, the press and anonymous photographers situated it in a popular context that stands as a counterpoint to the notion of a heroic modern era. This first volume of Columns of Smoke is a brilliant treatment of modern visual culture that will redefine our concept of modernity. Features overlooked aspects of modern architecture and photography and reveal a more nuanced-and plausible-conception of the world. This volume includes images tied to the history of twentieth-century architecture with anonymous graphic materials and pictures. It will redefine our concept of modernity.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The first performances by Joseph Beuys were a radical turning point for twentieth-century art. Beuys saw art as a transformative action that is both personal and communal, and his expanded artistic practice engaged spirituality, personal mythology, political structures, and symbolic materials. For Manresa, one of his legendary performance actions, which took place on December 15, 1966 in Duesseldorf, he collaborated with the Danish artists Henning Christiansen and Bjoern Noergaard. In 1994 those two artists performed a new version of the piece as Manresa Hauptbahnhof. The performance was carried out in Manresa, the city that both gave the name to the original action and also was where Saint Ignatius Loyola had the revelations that led him to write his Spiritual Exercises, which Beuys considered essential reading. This book, marking the centenary of the artists birth, presents never-before-seen materials from the two performances, including texts, images, scripts, and preparatory drawings, and contributions from scholars and critics offer further insight. Friedhelm Mennekes, an art critic and Jesuit priest, analyses the Ignatian imprint in Beuyss work while explaining its spiritual complexity, looking beyond the popular vision of the artist as shaman. Pilar Parcerisas examines Beuyss spiritual geography, explaining the importance the town of Manresa within it while also laying out the physical and mystical coordinates of Eurasia, a site that was always present in Beuyss work. While reviewing the features of Manresa, Klaus-D. Pohl also addresses the paradoxical union between Beuyss mysticism and the neo-Dadaists of Fluxus. Beuyss collaborator Bjoern Noergaard recalls his time working with the German artist and reflects on the paths he opened up. Finally, art historian Harald Szeemann considers the possibility of liberating politics through spirituality.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In 1927, while a student of architecture at the Moscow Vhutemas, Georgii Krutikov presented a vision for a flying city. More than just a flight of architectural fancy, Krutikovs flying city was a utopian dream, a plan to solve the seemingly intractable problems of overcrowding and resource depletion by moving humanitys living quarters to space. Inspired in equal parts by sci-fi dreams of space travel and the revolutionary idealism that still percolated in the Soviet Union at that time, Krutikov created an incredible amount of detailed information about his city: sketches, drawings, plans, and more. Krutikovs flying city has been cited as a major influence on Russian modernism for decades, yet little has been written about the design, its creator, or his subsequent architectural career. This beautifully illustrated book fills that gap, presenting a detailed study of Krutikovs scheme and its underlying ethos, then tracing Krutikovs later work as an architect. It will interestand amazeall fans of the avant-garde, architecture, and Russian history.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Juan Jose Lahuertas Columns of Smoke series offers bold new readings of modernity and its key figures while redefining the connections between architecture, ornamentation, and the portrayal of both in print media. The third volume focuses on the Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi (18521926), whose spectacular fin-de-siecle bohemian modernism stood in revolutionary contrast to the leading approaches of the day. With the rise of Le Corbusiers modern style of architecture in the early twentieth century, architects who favored ornamentation and a strong bond with nature, like Gaudi, were relegated to the sidelines. Lahuerta draws on first-hand documents, many previously unpublished, to show that Gaudi, far from being the isolated eccentric seen in other accounts, was keenly aware of the major theories and works of his time and cleverly used industrial processes to produce ornamental details that appear today to be almost handmade. Equally impressive was Gaudis ability to capitalize on his fame once in the public eye, as both the architect and his buildings appeared in illustrations in the popular press. His influence on avant-garde artists like Salvador Dali, who admired the edible appearance of Gaudis Casa Mila in Barcelona, and Pablo Picasso, who was fascinated by the eroticism of the Casa Batllo, attests to the architects impact far beyond his field. Richly illustrated with rare images from a variety of sources, this highly visual take on Gaudi is also a spirited commentary on the roots of modernism more generally. Entertaining and perceptive, Antoni Gaudi challenges us to reconsider what we thought we knew about this pioneering architect and his distinctive work.

It is a work that seeks to understand how the landscape is drawn around us. A fresh and very personal reading of our recent history, illuminated by photographs, collages, and gadgets created to explain the reasons of form. Formalismo Puro is an art project in its own right, created by a conceptual artist with a background in sculpture, enthralled by the notion of architecture as form.
