Michelangelo is best known for great artistic achievements such as the Sistine ceiling, the David, the Pietà , and the dome of St. Peter's. Yet throughout his seventy-five year career, he was engaged in another artistic act that until now has been largely overlooked: he not only filled hundreds of sheets of paper with exquisite drawings, sketches, and doodles, but also, on fully a third of these sheets, composed his own words.

An exceptionally clear, thorough, and well- illustrated introduction to abstract art since 1900. Since the early years of the twentieth century, Western abstract art has fascinated, outraged, and bewildered audiences. Its path to acceptance within the artistic mainstream was slow. This revised edition traces the origins and evolution of abstract art, placing it in broad cultural context. Well-respected scholar Anna Moszynska examines the pioneering work of Hilma af Klint, Wassily Kandinsky, Kazimir Malevich, and Piet Mondrian alongside the Russian Constructivists, the De Stijl group, and the Bauhaus artists, contrasting European geometric abstraction in the 1930s and ’40s with the emphasis on personal expression after World War II.

This authoritative account of the life and work of Salvador Dalí, one of the most recognizable artists of the twentieth century, is revised and updated with color illustrations throughout. In this revised and updated edition of art historian Dawn Ades’s seminal study of Salvador Dalí, based on interviews with the artist, Ades examines what accounts for Dalí’s popularity, exploring such issues as the accessibility of his imagery and his talent as a self-publicist. This book reconsiders the Dali´ phenomenon, from his early years and the development of his technique and style to his relationship with the Surrealists, his exploitation of Freudian ideas, and the image that he created of himself as the mad genius artist.

A new, updated edition of this illuminating study on William Hogarth, one of the eighteenth century’s most famous artists and satirists. William Hogarth (1697–1764) was one of the great eighteenth-century painters, a marvelous colorist, and an innovator at all levels of artistic expression. In this updated volume, art historian and Hogarth scholar David Bindman surveys the works of this artist whose wry humor and sharp wit was reflected in his prolific paintings and prints, including The Rake’s Progress and Marriage A-la-Mode. Hogarth was also a master of pictorial satire, highlighting the moral and political issues of the day with delightful detail and comedy—themes that resonate deeply with our times. This new edition has been specially updated to include a discussion of Hogarth’s representation of Black people in eighteenth-century Britain, a subject that has long been overlooked in his many works.

Artist Paul Gauguin achieved a high public profile during his lifetime and was one of the first artists of his generation to achieve international recognition. But his prominence has always been tangled up with the dramatic and problematic events of his life—his self-imposed exile on a remote South Sea island and his turbulent relationships with his peers—as with the appeal of his art. In this revised and updated edition, art historian Belinda Thomson gives a comprehensive and accessible account of the life and work of one of the most complicated artists of the late nineteenth century.

Что надеть? Этот вопрос мы задаем себе каждое утро. И отвечаем: хорошо бы что-то новенькое. Сегодня в мире каждый год производится 80 млрд предметов одежды, а в этой отрасли занят каждый шестой человек на планете. Да, индустрия моды традиционно ставила себе на службу трудовые, природные и интеллектуальные ресурсы, но в последние десятилетия по мере разворачивания быстрой моды, глобализации и революционных технологий злоупотребление всеми этими ресурсами растет лавинообразно. Мы отчаянно нуждаемся в новой, гуманистической, концепции моды, считает известная журналистка Дана Томас.

Among the great 20th-century masters, the surrealist painter Joan Miro stands out for the atmosphere of wit and spontaneity that pervades his work. Miro’s art went through many phases, and its major features – his signs and symbols, his series of anguished peintures sauvages in the 1930s, his lyrical, poetic gouaches, his monumental sculptures and ceramics, his unprecedented use of poetic titles, and his attachment to nature and to the night – are discussed here by Roland Penrose, a friend of the artist for almost five decades. A brief epilogue by Eduardo de Benito, London correspondent of the Spanish art periodical Lapiz, illustrates the developments of Miro’s last years. This new revised edition, now illustrated in colour throughout, includes a foreword by Antony Penrose, outlining the relationship between his father and the artist, as well as updates to the Bibliography.
