[023358] Albers, Joseph; Moholy-Nagy, Laszlo; Borchardt-Hume, Achim; Foster, Hal, et al . Albers and Moholy-Nagy: From the Bauhaus to the New World. New Haven: Yale University Press, 2006. ISBN: 030012032X. This beautifully illustrated book highlights the contrasts and correspondences in the lives and work of two of Modernism’s greatest innovators, Josef Albers (1888-1976) and László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1947). Beginning in the 1930s, Albers and Moholy-Nagy each developed a rigorously abstract language that condensed art to its visual fundamentals: line, colour, texture, light, and form. This language experienced a creative explosion during their Bauhaus years, when both artists moved freely between media and disciplines. Essays by leading scholars follow the artists’ separate paths through to their emigration to the United States, where each continued to push tirelessly the conventions of artistic practice, Albers at Black Mountain College in North Carolina and then at Yale University, and Moholy-Nagy in Chicago at the New Bauhaus School and the Institute of Design. As highly influential teachers, Albers and Moholy-Nagy became important catalysts for the transmission of Modernist ideas from Europe to America. Spanning four decades and featuring works in a variety of media, including painting, collage, glass, moving sculpture, photography, film, furniture, and graphic design, this substantial exhibition catalogue reveals for the first time the range of achievement of these two important figures and is essential to our understanding of the evolution of Modernism. 192 pages, illustrated in colour and b&w throughout.

[020652] Arnold, Marion; Schmahmann, Brenda. Between Union and Liberation - Women Artists in South Africa 1910-1994.. Aldershot: Ashgate, 8vo. ISBN: 0754632407. The essays collected here investigate art made by women in South Africa between 1910, the year of Union, and 1994, the year of the first democratic election. During this period, complex political circumstances and the impact of modernism in South Africa affected the production of images and objects. The essays explore the ways in which the socio-political circumstances associated with twentieth-century modernity had a paradoxical impact on women. The contributors study the lives and achievements of women - named and un-named, black and white, and from different cultural groups and social contexts - and consider objects and images that are historically associated with both 'art' and 'craft'. In all the essays, gender theory is related to South African circumstances. The volume explores gender theory in relation to twentieth-century visual culture and discusses economic conditions and regional geographies as well as notions of identity. It investigates the influence of educational and cultural institutions, the role of theory on art practice, debates about material culture, the power of nationalist ideologies and the role of feminist theories in a changing country. A wide range of visual images and objects provide the touchstone for debate and analysis - paintings, sculptures, photography, baskets, tapestries, embroideries and ceramics - so that the book is richly visual and celebrates the diversity of South African art made by women. 230 pages, illustrated in colour and b& Black cloth in dustjacket with some light wear, otherwise fine. £30.00

[023660] Arp, Hans/Jean; Robertson, Eric. Arp: Painter, Poet, Sculptor. New Haven: Yale University Press, 2006. ISBN: 0300106904. Hans, or Jean, Arp (1886-1966) is internationally renowned as one of the foremost sculptors and visual artists of the twentieth century. He was a founder member of the Dada group, but he was also associated with Surrealism and, through the groups Cercle et Carre and Abstraction-Creation, with Concrete Art and Minimalism. Such acclaim has overshadowed the fact that he considered himself above all a poet. This book, the first major English-language monograph on Arp for nearly half a century, is also the first to reveal Arp's practices as poet, painter and sculptor to be not only complementary but mutually dependent facets of a coherent aesthetic strategy. Eric Robertson shows how Arp's practice, throughout his career, of moving freely between his different expressive forms and his two languages (French and German), and his tendency to alter his earlier works, both complicate the bibliographer's task and stimulate the interest of the reader and spectator. In its eclecticism, its playful refusal of fixity, its preoccupation with notions of framing, and its disregard for the aura traditionally associated with the original, Arp's creative oeuvre challenges and often transcends traditional categories of description. Examining major works in the light of recent critical and theoretical perspectives, Robertson also considers the extent to which Arp's resistance to single, reductive interpretations may be linked to his bilingual, bicultural upbringing in Alsace and his experience of two world wars. In the context of the above, the book addresses three key questions: to what extent can Arp's practices as poet, painter and sculptor be seen as not only complementary, but interdependent? What are the implications of Arp's bilingualism for his visual and textual art, his aversion to semantic closure, and his rejection of the finished work in all his creative enterprises? To what extent do his practices of transfer across genres, interdiscursivity and interlingual wordplay call for a reappraisal of Arp's relationship to the avant-gardes and his standing in twentieth-century European art-historical and literary contexts? 256 pages, illustrated in colour and b&w throughout.

[024100] Brown, Glenn, Grunenberg, Christoph; Stubbs, Michael; Bonami, Francesco; Sillars, Laurence . Glenn Brown. London: Tate Publishing, 2009. ISBN: 9781854378576. Glenn Brown is one of the most admired painters of his generation. Born in Hexham in 1966, he studied at Norwich School of Art, Bath College of Higher Education and at Goldsmith's College, London. He was shortlisted for the Turner Prize in 2000. Borrowing from art history and popular culture, he works from sources that include the paintings of Dali, Auerbach and Rembrandt, as well as the largely unknown artists who create imaginary worlds on the covers of mass-market science fiction paperbacks, to investigate the languages of painting. Brown is fascinated by how reproductions of paintings distort the qualities of the originals. Working from books or projecting reproductions onto a blank picture surface, he embellishes his source material, transforming the familiar into the alien by making changes in size, colour, surface texture and brushwork. Dali, Fragonard and John Martin are transformed in playful juxtapositions of elements of kitsch and the sublime. His relentless appropriation of Auerbach, returning to the same work again and again in order to transform the head of a figure, is realised in works such as "Kill the Poor" (2000) and "The Real Thing" (2000). Published to accompany a major, touring retrospective exhibition, "Glenn Brown" features over 70 paintings, sculptures and previously unpublished new works, some of which are illustrated in luxurious gatefolds. Leading international critics and curators examine the trajectory of Brown's career and his importance on the international art scene, making this the most thorough investigation of his ouevre in print. 180 pages, thin card covers, fine. £15.00

[024175] Bruegel, Pieter. Pieter Bruegel the Elder: Prints and Drawings. New Haven/New York: Yale University Press/Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2001. ISBN: 0300090145. Pieter Bruegel the Elder (1525/30-1569) was a remarkable draftsman and designer of prints as well as a great painter. His independent drawings and designs for engravings and etchings, which were carried out by the leading printmakers of his day, have fascinated scholars and the general public alike since they were created. They have recently been the subject of research that has given rise to a reevaluation of the parameters of Bruegel's oeuvre. The new scholarship has been brought to bear in the texts of the present volume, which accompanies a major exhibition of 140 of Bruegel's prints and drawings to be shown at the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam, from May to August 2001 and at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, from September to December 2001. An international group of experts discusses the new Bruegel who has emerged from recent studies, in essays on the artist's life, his contributions as a draftsman and as a printmaker, the survival of his art, and his relationship to the humanism of his day. They also illuminate his genius in entries on all the works in the exhibition. Every work is illustrated and rich comparative illustrations are included.

[020865] Clouet; Jollet, Etienne. Jean & François Clouet. Paris: Lagune, 1997. 4to. ISBN: 0500974659. Jean Clouet and his son François held the key to portraiture in sixteenth-century France. Yet despite their fame - and despite pioneering research in the early twentieth century by Bouchot, Moreau-Nelaton and Dimier, they remain little known and little studied today. Their lives are still shrouded in mystery and the faces they depicted remain enigmatic. Access to their work, primarily drawings, is often difficult. That is why Professor Jollet begins his book by discussing the status of portraits and portrait painters in sixteenth-century France, then analyses the importance of "self-image" at the court of France. These factors shed light not only on the enduring success of the "Clouet formula", but also on the subtle, studued evolution it underwent from father to son: an era in which sitters posed for the eye of God gave way to one in which they posed for the eyes of fellow men. 320 pages, illustrated in colour throughout.

[021199] Lubbock, Jules. Storytelling in Christian Art from Giotto to Donatello . New Haven: Yale University Press, 2006. Small 4to. ISBN: 0300117272. Recounting the biblical stories through visual images was the most prestigious form of commission for a Renaissance artist. In this book, Jules Lubbock examines some of the most famous of these pictorial narratives by artists of the caliber of Giovanni Pisano, Duccio, Giotto, Ghiberti, Brunelleschi, Donatello and Masaccio. He explains how these artists portrayed the major biblical events, such as: the Sacrifice of Isaac, the Annunciation, the Feast of Herod and the Trial and Passion of Jesus, so as to be easily recognizable and, at the same time, to capture our attention and imagination for long enough to enable us to search for deeper meanings. He provides evidence showing that the Church favoured the production of images that lent themselves to being read and interpreted in this way, and he describes the works themselves to demonstrate how the pleasurable activity of deciphering these meanings can work in practice. This fascinating book is richly illustrated, and many of its photographs have been specially taken to show how the paintings and relief sculptures appear in the settings for which they were originally designed. Seen from these viewpoints, they become more readily intelligible. Likewise, the starting point and the originality of Lubbock's interpretations lies in his accepting that these works of art were primarily designed to help people to reflect upon the ethical and religious significance of the biblical stories. The early Renaissance artists developed their highly innovative techniques to further these objectives, not as ends in themselves. 350 pages, illustrated in colour and b&w throughout.
