Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This easy-to-read book groups methods according to what they have in common, even if separated in time. At the same time, it rehabilitates some lost or forgotten methods, with a view to challenging current orthodoxies, especially with regard to such topics as translation, rote learning, authenticity, and communication. In doing this it aims to unpack, not just the history of methods, but the beliefs that underpin them and the benefits that still might possibly accrue from experimenting with them. Through its inclusion of interesting characters, intriguing anecdotes, and often bizarre techniques, the material is absorbing and engaging.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Als eine kleine Gruppe junger Maler ab 1870 in Frankreich antrat, der Welt eine neue, moderne Art des Sehens und Malens zu zeigen, die sich vom Naturalismus abwandte, der subjektiven Wahrnehmung oberste Priorität einräumte und die Konturen auflöste, um den zufälligen, flüchtigen Moment in seinem flirrenden Farbenspiel einzufangen , ernteten sie wie alle Avantgardisten anfangs Hohn und Spott. Die Impressionisten unterschieden sich nicht nur durch ihren ungenauen, lebhaften Pinselstrich, ihrer neuartigen Farbgebung mit kräftigen, leuchtende Farben und anderen stilistischen Eigenheiten von der gewohnten Bilder-Kost des kunstbeflissenen Bürgers, sie zeigten ihm auch Motive, denen jede Erhabenheit und jedes Pathos fehlte: Straßenszenen mit anonymen Passanten, Freizeitvergnügungen im Park und auf der Pferderennbahn, Szenen in Bars und Bistros und Landschaften , die auf Komposition und Tiefenwirkung verzichten und ganz auf das Spiel von Licht und Farbe und die Wiedergabe des momentanen Seheindrucks setzen. Heute gilt die Bewegung des Impressionismus als Schwanengesang auf die klassizistische Malerei und Wiege der Moderne. Diese Einführung in die Malerei des Impressionismus stellt neben den Größen dieser Stilrichtung Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, Berthe Morisot und Camille Pissarro auch viele weitere Künstlerinnen und Künstler vor, die größere Aufmerksamkeit verdienen, zum Beispiel Marie Bracquemond, Medardo Rosso und Fritz von Uhde.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Jackson Pollock (19121956), Rebell und tragischer Held des Abstrakten Expressionismus, wurde bereits zu Lebzeiten mythologisiert. Der Hemingway der Malerei hat dem Publikum alles geboten, was man von einem Genie erwarten darf: Trunksucht, Rowdytum, Größenwahn, Depressionen, einen frühen Tod in einem Autocrash und eine Kunst, wie es sie vor ihm nicht gegeben hat. Mit seinen abstrakten Drip Paintings schlug er ein gänzlich neues Kapitel der modernen Kunst auf. Nachdem er zu Beginn seiner Laufbahn noch figurativ gearbeitet und Einflüsse von den Surrealisten bis zur mexikanischen Wandmalerei verarbeitet hatte, fand er in der zweiten Hälfte der 1940er zu einem Stil, den er zwar nicht erfunden hatte, aber weltberühmt machen sollte. Als prominentester Vertreter des Action Painting kehrte er konventionellen Maltechniken den Rücken zu und schuf abstrakte Gewebe, indem er Industriefarben mit Stöcken oder eingetrockneten Pinseln auf die Leinwand spritzte oder direkt aus den Farbtöpfen tropfen ließ. In den auf diese Weise entstehenden Geweben aus Schlieren, Schwüngen, Tropfen und sich überschneidenden Rinnsalen spiegelte sich so auch der Bewegungsduktus des Künstlers wider. Um zu verhindern, dass der Betrachter in seinen Gemälden nach etwas Figürlichem sucht, gab Pollock ihnen eine Zeit lang keine Titel mehr, sondern identifizierte jedes seiner Werke lediglich durch eine Nummer . Pollock hatte ungeachtet seiner Erfolge in der zeitgenössischen Kritik stets mit schweren existenziellen Krisen zu kämpfen, die sein kurzes Leben überschatteten, der Legendenbildung jedoch durchaus förderlich waren. So ist diese Einführung in sein revolutionäres Werk auch die Geschichte einer medialen Inszenierung, die der gängigen Fantasie von Genie und Wahnsinn folgt.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Francis Bacon (19091992), der als Künstler größtenteils Autodidakt war, besaß die einzigartige Gabe, innere und unbewusste Impulse in Figuren, Formen und extrem klaustrophobische Kompositionen zu verwandeln. Bacon, der in der Zeit nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg für seine Werke eher berüchtigt als berühmt war, malte menschliche Körper, die jedoch entstellt, geschändet und verstümmelt waren. Seine Bilder schienen vor intensiven Emotionen förmlich zu zucken und zu heulen. Die packenden, oft grotesken Porträts von Menschen mit verrenkten Gliedmaßen oder tumorartigen Wucherungen sind nicht nur Charakterstudien, sondern gleichzeitig auch Reflexionen über die Leiden und Traumata der Conditio humana . Diese verstörenden Bilder gehörten auch zu den ersten in der Kunstgeschichte, die offen homosexuelle Themen aufgriffen. Unser Buch stellt Bacons erotisches, beklemmendes und unvergessliches uvre vor, das oft nachgeahmt und vielfach analysiert wurde, vor allem aber den Betrachter tief berührt.

As World War Two looms, they leave for Jersey, and it is here that they confront their destiny, dreaming up a campaign of propaganda against Hitler's occupying forces.From one of our most celebrated writers, Never Anyone But You explores the gripping true story of two extraordinary women who challenged gender boundaries, and ultimately risked their lives in the fight against oppression. Theirs is a story that has been hidden in the margins of history - until now.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'Lucht's engaging prose style and keen ethnographic eye provide for a captivating narrative on a form of population movement often in the news but rarely if ever really understood.' --Jeffrey E. Cole, author with Sally Booth of Dirty Work: Immigrants in Domestic Service, Agriculture, and Prostitution in Sicily.'Few ethnographers manage to integrate in-depth multi-sited fieldwork, enthralling narrative and innovative theory as well as Hans Lucht does in this study of existential reciprocity among Ghanaian fishermen forced by dwindling catches to embark on hazardous migrations to Europe in search of the wherewithall of life. In Lucht's capable hands, these stories become an allegory of our times.' --Michael Jackson, author of Life Within Limits: Well-Being in a World of Want.'An original, comprehensive, and skilled study, Darkness before Daybreak provides the reader with a real sense of the quality and meaning of existence in Ghana and in Naples, while providing enough historical and political/economic context to permit a nuanced critical analysis of globalization theory.' --Peter Schneider, Professor Emeritus of Sociology and Anthropology, Fordham University, and author with Jane Schneider of Reversible Destiny: Mafia, Antimafia, and the Struggle for Palermo.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'Professor Hughes offers an earnest warning: 'Unless there is some emotional tie, some elective affinity linking the student to his subject of study, the results will be pedantic and perfunctory.' In other words, it is only a step from the sublime to the meticulous. Those eager to guard against that sad descent will find 'History as Art and as Science' a guide, a tonic, and an inspiration. Its short, electrifying essays are so magnificently sane and persuasive they should be required reading for every student who contemplates a major in history.'--Geoffrey Bruun, 'Saturday Review'.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book charts the history of armoured warfare from the first use of the tank in 1916 right through to the 21st century, adopting military, political and global perspectives. Alaric Searle explores the origins of the tank, the part it played in the First World War and its contribution to the outcome of the war.

Searle looks at the conduct of mechanised warfare in Korea, Indo-China and Vietnam, and during conflicts such as the Arab-Israeli Wars and the Gulf Wars. Armoured Warfare adopts a global perspective, providing the most comprehensive survey of the history of the subject currently available. With a detailed bibliography of both primary and secondary sources, it is an ideal companion for those studying armoured warfare, modern military history and war studies.
