Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Born in 1887, in what is now Belarus, Marc Chagall is one of the best-known artists of the twentieth century. His combination of wistful, fantastical scenes and vibrant palette have ensured his enduring popularity, but he is also considered an important pioneer of modern art whose sense of colour was rivalled only by that of Matisse. Time spent studying in Russia and Paris developed what would embody Chagall's style for his entire career, drawing inspiration from his Jewish identity, folklore, nostalgia and religion. This, together with the influence of the fauvist, cubist and symbolist movements he experienced in Paris, created his distinct style that was accessible, but at the same time remote and other-worldly. After leaving occupied France for the United States in 1941, Chagall was commissioned to create stage sets for a new ballet at the New York Ballet Theatre, and given a large solo show at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1946. On returning to Europe in 1948, he continued to create in almost every medium possible, adding his distinctive touch to ceiling paintings, stained glass, murals, tapestries, costumes, ceramics and sculpture, until his death in 1985. In keeping with previous books in our successful series, Tate; Introductions: Chagall provides a lucid overview of this familiar, yet mysterious, artist.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. One of a series introducing major movements in modern art to general readers, students and gallery visitors, this text looks at the Post-Impressionists. Hard on the heels of the Impressionists came artists with a different agenda. Dissatisfied with the essentially short-term effects Impressionism had mastered, they strove in their different ways for an art of a more permanent, structured and expressive kind. By refining and codifying, or dismantling and reassembling, the procedures of Impressionism, artists such as Seurat, Cezanne, Gauguin and Van Gogh and their associates rewrote the rules for representational painting at the turn of the 20th century. The arbitrary colour, exaggerated forms and abstraction of their works marked a new distance between artist and nature, and prepared the public for the freedoms of the next generation of innovators. This book focuses on the artists responsible for these influential stylistic changes, and sets them in their intellectual and historical contexts.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Judged by the standards of his own time, the career of John Everett Millais (1829-96) was an unqualified success. Beginning as a child prodigy, he entered the Royal Academy Schools aged 11, and along with Holman Hunt and Rossetti was a founding member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. The first Pre-Raphaelite picture he produced, The Carpenter's Shop, had a dramatic effect on the critics; Charles Dickens described his portrayal of the child Christ as a 'hideous, wry-necked, blubbering, red-haired boy in a night-gown.' Millais later became the quintessential English gentleman artist, a Baronet and president of the Royal Academy, producing some of the most famous images of the age. At the time of his death, however, there were some who believed that Millais had betrayed his extraordinary talent and vision by pandering to popular taste for the false rewards of money, status and Victorian respectability. In more recent times, Millais's career, after the disbanding of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, has been presented largely as an anti-climax. Yet it is these imbalances and diverse viewpoints that make a study of Millais so compelling. Author Christine Riding analyses his artistic career, his critics and his audience, exploring the broader issues which preoccupied Victorian Britain on the subject of art itself.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Cezanne is often called the first modern painter. But how did he arrive at his way of seeing the world, and what was he aiming to express in his art? Critics, art historians and biographers have all devised theories that attempt to explain the style and content of Cezanne's paintings. Yet Cezanne himself was wary of others misinterpreting his work according to their own agendas. So is there a right way of seeing Cezanne? This text sets out to answer this question. The author explores Cezanne's paintings and analyzes the artist's own comments about art. The landscape of his native Provence, the work of Old Masters, modern art and literature - all influenced Cezanne during his search for a style. However, it was Impressionism that caused him to rethink his ideas about what he was trying to express: the "sensation" in nature. This publication looks at Cezanne's own theories about colour and perception, explains how he built up the painting, and how he was able to express touch in a visual form. It also discusses Cezanne's lasting influence on 20th-century art. With insights into Cezanne's approaches to painting and his techniques, this work should be useful reading for those wishing to understand more about the work of this artist.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Apart from a few exceptions, no one can say with absolute certainty where people go when they disappear. Do we go to the same place that lost socks go to? Or do we perhaps evaporate into the heavens in the same way that puddles do?

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. When Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion was exhibited in 1945, Francis Bacon (1909-1992) instantly became the most controversial painter in the country. By the end of his life, his status as one of the giants of modern art was established, as was his reputation for hard drinking, heavy gambling and sado-masochistic homosexuality. Andrew Brighton casts fresh light on Bacon's formation as an artist in gay and aristocratic bohemian London circles. He locates Bacon at the core of contesting ideas and values, while firmly grounding his reading of Bacon's work in an understanding of his working methods and technique. Penetrating the seeming horror of Bacon's painting, this book reveals the ideas, the beliefs and the life that formed one of the most successful artists of the twentieth century.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) remains one of the most popular and influential artists of the 20th century. His ornate, sensual paintings, often charged with eroticism and embellished with gold, have been reproduced as bestselling posters, cards and book jackets, familiar to many who know little of the artist who created them. Published to accompany a major exhibition at Tate Liverpool, the first Klimt show in the UK and the highlight of that city's Capital of Culture celebrations in 2008, "Gustav Klimt" will explore the life and work of this unique and intriguing figure who was at the epicentre of the cultural renaissance that swept Vienna at the turn of the century.Central to the book will be the first thorough examination of the relationship between Klimt's paintings and mosaics and the work of architect Josef Hofmann, a close friend of the artist. This book will reach beyond the two-dimensional arts to examine the birth of an all-inclusive design culture in Vienna and examine fashion in clothing, jewellery, furniture and interior design. Essays by leading critics will concentrate on key works and key moments, including the foundation of the Vienna Secession; the exhibition of The Beethoven Frieze, and the collaborations with architects and designers in creating total artistic environments such as the Palais Stoclet in Brussels. There will also be an essay on Klimt's erotic works, particularly his drawings, examining his relationship with the women he portrayed. Lavishly illustrated to capture the intensity of Klimt's palette, this will be a fittingly sumptuous tribute to the achievement of a unique artistic innovator.
