I Found Mine
One man’s journey towards finding his passion As most people who finally took the plunge can relate, sooner or later you have to stand on the ledge that separates danger and opportunity, from security and stagnation. It then becomes a question of what direction to jump. In I Found Mine, Mohammed Zawad, shares with us the stories that made him ‘Jump’. Perhaps the most striking thing about this book is Mohammed’s talent for incorporating his life experiences and lessons, into helping readers to understand his message. All the stories are personal and relatable, regardless of the reader’s background. What's noteworthy is how he gives you a glimpse of his personal life, the good, the bad, and the ups and downs. His candour about his successes and failures make the book a fabulous read. Mohammed Zawad possesses an amazing ability to inspire, encourage, and motivate people to seek out and follow their dreams. I Found Mine is for everyone; whether it’s someone who wishes to learn a new skill, wants to go back to school, or is looking for an entirely new career but is not sure where to start.

Kirchner and Nolde
The artists as explorers: the Expressionist artists Kirchner and Nolde studied non-Western lifestyles and incorporated them into their artistic projects. Between "armchair anthropology" practised in the museums and "field-work anthropology", which also took place in the colonies, both artists contributed to the construction of an (imagined) "other", offering an alternative to bourgeois, "civilised" society in Germany. Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Emil Nolde both spent time between 1910-11 studying objects and materials in ethnographic museums, but before long they expanded their investigations to include travels to colonial regions (Nolde) and the staging of "exotic" studio environments (Kirchner). The publication examines how both approaches evolved through an interplay between art, early German anthropology and colonial enterprise within the German Empire at the beginning of the 20th century. It contains not only paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs, posters and documents, but also a variety of texts offering a broad overview as well as relating a specific narrative.
Eye to I
This richly illustrated book features an introduction by the National Portrait Gallery's chief curator and nearly 150 insightful entries on key self-portraits in the museum's collection. "Eye to I" provides readers with an overview of self-portraiture while revealing the intersections that exist between art, life, and self-representation. Drawing primarily from the museum's collection, "Eye to I" explores how American artists have portrayed themselves since 1900. The book shows that while each individual's approach to self-portraiture arises under unique circumstances, all of their representations raise important questions about self-perception and self-reflection. Sometimes artists choose to reveal intimate details of their inner lives. Other times they use the genre to obfuscate their true selves or invent alter egos. Today, with the proliferation of selfies and the contemporary focus on identity, it is time to reassess the significance of the self-portrait.

About Us
Grappling with sweeping social changes during the past thirty years of China's global rise, young artists have explored and crafted new identities through photography. While their works range across subjects--capturing bustling cityscapes and quiet landscapes, framing exuberant hopefulness and melancholic doubt--their experimentation speaks to a generational need for new aesthetic tools in an uncertain world. Featuring 150 photographs from the collections of Alexander Tutsek-Siftung, About Us offers a vibrant and in-depth survey of contemporary Chinese photography.

Harald Sohlberg
Majestic and magical landscapes, the soft beauty of fields of flowers, the raw cold of winter: the works of Harald Sohlberg combine a Romantic perception of nature with a contemporary pictorial language akin to Symbolism. This volume assembles some 60 paintings, in addition to a number of drawings, prints and photographs by the artist and grants insight into his conceptual world through his correspondence.0In particular the mountain world surrounding Rondane National Park provided Harald Sohlberg (1869?1935) with inexhaustible inspiration for countless studies and watercolours which were later incorporated into his landscape pictures. This volume places one of his most famous works, 'Winter ...
Making Van Gogh
Van Gogh is dead, but the van Gogh-chaps are alive! And how alive they are! It is van Goghing everywhere?, was how Ferdinand Avenarius described it in 1910 in the magazine Der Kunstwart. Vincent van Gogh's paintings exerted a particular fascination on young artists in Germany at the beginning of the twentieth century. Barely fifteen years after his death the Dutch artist was seen as one of the most important forerunners of modern painting. A selection of key works from all van Gogh's creative phases are juxtaposed with works by Max Beckmann, Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Paula Modersohn-Becker, Gabriele Münter, Karl Schmidt- Rottluff and others.--éd.
My Generation
The Jablonka Collection is one of the highest-profile repositories of American and German art of the 1980s. In this catalog, the art dealer, gallerist, and curator Rafael Jablonka provides for the first time an insight into his wide-ranging collection, which is dedicated primarily to artists of his own generation--featuring artists like Eric Fischl, Damien Hirst, Roni Horn, Mike Kelly, Sherrie Levine, Thomas Schütte, Terry Winters, and many more. Jablonka has collected art for decades according to the basic principle of assembling multiple works from the different creative phases of artists. Featuring reproductions of some 120 works--paintings, works on paper, sculpture, and installations--the book introduces the oeuvres of the artists in question and presents a representative cross-section of the extensive Jablonka Collection, which was presented to the Albertina in Vienna on permanent loan in 2019.
