Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - It is nearly the summer holidays and Billy Dexter and his classmates are trying to finish their wicker baskets. Their craft teacher, Miss Beddows, is so appalled by Billy's efforts that she keeps him in after class for a pep talk. 'As long as you set your mind on something and try hard enough, th…ere's nothing you can't do.' Billy loves the idea that he can do anything, but his friends, Melanie and Paul, don't agree. 'What about growing horns ' suggests Melanie. It is a challenge Billy has to accept. Brimming with humour and written in John Yeoman's matter-of-fact style, this story from 1961 is vividly illustrated with Quentin Blake's inimitable drawings. It was the second in a long line of collaborations between John Yeoman and Quentin Blake, following soon after their first, A Drink of Water. Blake, Quentin (illustratore).

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Published on the fiftieth anniversary of Marcel Duchamp¿s death, Duchamp¿s Last Day offers a radical reading of the artist¿s final hours. Just moments after Duchamp died, his closest friend Man Ray took a photograph of him. His face is wan; his eyes are closed; he appears calm. Taking this… image as a point of departure, Donald Shambroom begins to examine the surrounding context¿the dinner with Man Ray and another friend, Robert Lebel, the night Duchamp died, the conversations about his own death at that dinner and elsewhere, and the larger question of whether this radical artist¿s death can be read as an extension of his work. Shambroom¿s in-depth research into this final night, and his analysis of the photograph, feeds into larger questions about the very nature of artworks and authorship which Duchamp raised in his lifetime. In the case of this mysterious and once long-lost photograph, who is the author Man Ray or Duchamp Is it an artwork or merely a record Has the artist himself turned into one of his own readymades A fascinating essay that is both intimate and steeped in art history, Duchamp¿s Last Day is filled with intricate details from decades of research into this peculiar encounter between art, life, and death. Shambroom¿s book is a wonderful study of one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Art-writing at its most useful should share the dynamism, fluidity and passions of the objects of its enquiry, argues Marina Warner. In this new anthology of some of her most compelling work, she captures the visual experience of the work of several artists with a notable focus on the inner lives… of women through an exploration of the range of stories and symbols to which they allude. Metamorphosis features vividly in the imagery, stories and media of the art that Warner has chosen to write about: in connection with animals in the work of Louise Bourgeois, for instance; with the Catholicism of Damien Hirst; and with performance as a medium of memory and resistance in the installations of Joan Jonas. Rather than drawing on connoisseurship, the authors approach grows principally out of anthropology and mythology. She argues that art and aesthetics increasingly fulfil a magical social function a principle that runs through these writings to give the collection a quality that is polemical as well as coherent. With an introductory essay and illustrations throughout, Marina Warner investigates how artists noted for their treatment of disturbing, uncanny material have reached beyond the visible, to express interior states. Truly inspiring, her writing unites the imagination of artist, writer and reader, creating a reading experience parallel to the intrinsic pleasure of looking at art.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - What should you do at Christmas In Edvard Munchs Christmas in the Brothel, the artist depicts himself sleeping off the effects of drink, but the Madame reads a book. What links Stalin and the artist Rosso Fiorentino What was Gauguin hinting at when he painted a copy of Miltons Paradise Lost into…a portrait of a friend How did a chance meeting on Unter den Linden make the young owner of The Red Book famous Was it true that no one ever saw Picasso with a book in his hand And why were the Cumberland girls reading The Fashionable Lover in Romneys commissioned portrait Thousands of fine paintings include books in their subject matter. This companionable survey first asks what is a book ; it explores the symbiotic relationship between the development of books and the emergence of our modern idea of the role of the artist; it parades and interprets the work of many of the greatest artists of the last five hundred years; and it explains how and why books became the single most ubiquitous feature of our cultural lives and, in large measure, of our everyday existence. These paintings connect us with centuries of lived experience: religious systems, symbols of all kinds, education, changing patterns of transport, gender roles, social status, romance, the imagination of children, literary life, sex, friendship, civilized bathing, professional competence, scientific discovery, aids to rest, aids to reflection, danger books tell us about ourselves, and have earned their place in life and art through the ages.

It asks the question: what does it mean to be bohemian in the modern world Robyn Lea is an incredible storyteller - both visually and in the written form. She understands the creative spirit. In each profile she traces the journey from unusual childhoods to creative, often unorthodox, adult worlds and along the way reveals the interesting twists of fate that have allowed each person to realise their full bohemian potential in the spaces they live and work in.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The starting point for Dietrichson's works is architecture but detached from scale and human scale. The artist's interest is the spatial, the angular, geometric. Shapes create utopian imagery in the form of either sculpture, watercolor or silkscreens of levitating building elements or sculptures…and installations in public spaces. However, the expression is closely linked and characterized by being made in the same gesture with a pervasive form language characterized by precision in workmanship and material sensibility. They are in the transition between the tight and the limitless, between dream and function, between repetition and difference. The book's editor is the art historian Demetrio Paparoni, which also contributes an indebt-essay on Dietrichson's works. Also, in a lengthy interview with editor and art historian Katya Tylevich, we get a personal and present knowledge of several aspects of the artist, while the curator of the Haugar Art Museum, Tone Lyngstad Nyaas, contributing with a text that about geometry, abstraction, metaphysics and utopia in an arthistorian context. The book is divided into four chapters, with a brief, introductory text. Art historian Øivind Storm Bjerke writes about Dietrichsons watercolors, curator Karl Olav Segrov Mortensen about sculptures, and writer Maria Moseng about the silkscreens, while the art critic Arve Rød is writing about the artists public art projects, focusing on Våler Church as the artist adorned out in 2015.

This is an atlas of the journeys that writers make, encompassing not only the maps that actually appear in their books, but also the many maps that have inspired them and the sketches that they use in writing. For some, making a map is absolutely central to the craft of shaping and telling their tale. A writers map might mean also the geographies they describe, the worlds inside books that rise from the page, mapped or unmapped, and the realms that authors inhabit as they write.
