Gonzalez Angel: Alberto Giacometti: Works, Writings, Interviews

Скачать книгу (размер 809 Kb , формат fb2, страниц 160) Аннотация: Alberto Giacometti's early Surrealist and Cubist forms, compact volumes inspired by Africa and the Cyclades, eventually led this seminal twentieth-century Swiss artist to acknowledge a formal void that he would spend the balance of his career filling with the human figure. In the mid-1930s, influenced by the terrible social and political changes that were taking place across Europe, Giacometti…

Wilson Sarah: Henri Matisse

Скачать книгу (размер 483 Kb , формат fb2, страниц 96) Аннотация: Henri Matisse (1869-1954) is without doubt the most important twentieth-century French artist, and one of the great colorists of art history. His work utterly refutes the cliché that the great discoveries of Modernism were attained by a heroic and violent abandonment of the past: he was firmly grounded in tradition (albeit in a much less restless and ironic approach than Picasso's). In the…

Скачать книгу (размер 809 Kb , формат fb2, страниц 160) Аннотация: The career of French artist Yves Klein lasted just eight years (from 1954 to 1962), but in that short span he took Europe by storm.

Скачать книгу (размер 809 Kb , формат fb2, страниц 160) Аннотация: Widely considered one of the greatest, and certainly one of the most mysterious and erotically daring, painters of the twentieth century, Balthus, or Balthazar Klossowski, the French/Polish Count de Rola, died in his adopted Switzerland in 2001 at the age of 93. Descended from Polish aristocracy and raised among important European intellectuals like Rainer Maria Rilke, Andre Gide and Jean…

Gudiol Jose: Goya

Скачать книгу (размер 646 Kb , формат fb2, страниц 128) Аннотация: Goya--the name alone evokes countless masterpieces, both painted and printed: the raw and brutal «Third of May 1808» the nightmarish Caprichos etchings (with the famous motto, «The sleep of reason produces monsters»), the compellingly erotic «Nude Maja» and «Clothed Maja» the savage Disasters of War series and, of course, the late black paintings, with their murky forebodings of public unrest and…

Throughout his life, Pollock wrote very little about his own art or that…

Скачать книгу (размер 809 Kb , формат fb2, страниц 160) Аннотация: Perhaps no other figure exerted a greater influence on the urban transformation of Barcelona during the first third of the 20th century than Josep Puig i Cadafalch.

Alcolea Santiago: Velazquez

Скачать книгу (размер 646 Kb , формат fb2, страниц 128) Аннотация: Like his Dutch contemporary Vermeer, Diego Velazquez (1599-1660) had little reputation outside of his native land until the nineteenth century, when the Spanish royal painting collections became state property and were installed in the Prado Museum in Madrid. The year was in 1819, and several private and official collections in London and Paris also benefited. Unlike Vermeer, however, Velazquez…
