Изданието е триезично - на английски, немски и френски език. ... An unprecedented catalog of modern trademarks. Modernist aesthetics in architecture, art, and product design are familiar to many.

Less well-known, but no less fascinating, is the distillation of modernism in graphic design. This unprecedented Taschen publication, authored by Jens Muller, brings together ... |

Italian-born Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (1475 - 1564) was a tormented, prodigiously talented, and God-fearing Renaissance man.

Famed biographer Giorgio Vasari considered him the pinnacle of Renaissance achievement. His peers called him simply Il Divino (the divine one). This book provides the essential introduction to Michelangelo with all the awe-inspiring masterpieces and none of the queues and crowds. With vivid illustration ... |

Among the few women artists who have transcended art history, none had a meteoric rise quite like Mexican painter Frida Kahlo (1907 - 1954). Her unmistakable face, depicted in over fifty extraordinary self-portraits, has been admired by generations; along with hundreds of photographs taken by notable artists such as Edward Weston, Manuel and Lola Alvarez Bravo, Nickolas Muray, and Martin Munkácsi, they made Frida Kahlo an iconic image of 20th century art. After an accident in her early youth, Frida became a painter of her own free will. Her marriage to Diego Rivera in 1929 placed her at the forefront of an artistic ... |

Master of the sublime: The essential Impressionist. ... No other artist, apart from J.M.W. Turner, tried as hard as Claude Monet (1840 - 1926) to capture light itself on canvas. Of all the Impressionists, it was the man Cezanne called "only an eye, but my God what an eye!" who stayed true to the principle of absolute fidelity to the visual sensation, painting directly from the object. It could be said that Monet reinvented the possibilities of color. Whether it was through his early interest in Japanese prints, his time as a conscript in the dazzling light of Algeria, or his personal acquaintance with the ... |

It was a dappled and daubed harbor scene that gave Impressionism its name. When Impression, Sunrise by Claude Monet was exhibited in April 1874, critics seized upon the work's title and its loose stylistic rendering of light and motion upon water to deride this new, impressionistic, tendency in art. As with many seminal art movements, the critics got their comeuppance. Today, Impressionism is close contender for the world's favorite period of painting. With blockbuster exhibitions, record-breaking auction prices, and packed museums, the works once dismissed as unfinished or imprecise are now beloved for their ... |

Мястото на архитектурата в нашия живот. ... Луксозните изданията се предлагат на български, английски и френски език. При вариантите на английски и френски език, книжното тяло е с кант в сребрист цвят. "Често съм се питал защо толкова малко хора се интересуват от архитектура и защо училищната програма не включва изучаването на някои генерални принципи или основни факти. Повечето книги на тази тема се четат трудно, като че ли авторите им се отдават на изискания стил и сложния изказ. От друга страна редките издания адресирани към широката публика са често прекалено елементарни и на границата на поучителното. За жалост, ... |
