Impressionism
Defining an artistic era or movement is often a difficult task, as one tries to group individualistic expressions and artwork under one broad brush. Such is the case with impressionism, which culls together the art of a multitude of painters in the mid-19th century, including Monet, Cézanne, Renoir, Degas, and van Gogh. Basically, impressionism involved the shedding of traditional painting methods. The subjects of art were taken from everyday life, as opposed to the pages of mythology and history. In addition, each artist painted to express feelings of the moment instead of hewing to time-honoured standards. This description of impressionism, obviously, is quite broad and can apply to a wid...
La lumière au siècle des Lumières & aujourd'hui
A la fois scientifique, artistique et philosophique, La Lumiere au siecle des lumieres et aujourd'hui vise a confronter l'evolution de la connaissance et du developpement des techniques a celle de l'art et du gout, en s'appuyant sur les recherches et les decouvertes effectuees au XVIIIe siecle. La presentation simultanee d'oeuvres d'art, d'objets et de documents scientifiques, leur integration a l'histoire des idees, illustrent l'impact du developpement du savoir et de la methode scientifique dans l'evolution des mentalites qui conduisit a la mise en place d'une societe civile republicaine et democratique. Neurobiologiste, Jean-Pierre Changeux est professeur au College de France et a l'Institut Pasteur et membre de l'Academie des sciences.
On Modern Beauty
A thought-provoking examination of beauty using three works of art by Manet, Gauguin, and Cézanne. As the discipline of art history has moved away from connoisseurship, the notion of beauty has become increasingly problematic. Both culturally and personally subjective, the term is difficult to define and nearly universally avoided. In this insightful book, Richard R. Brettell, one of the leading authorities on Impressionism and French art of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, dares to confront the concept of modern beauty head-on. This is not a study of aesthetic philosophy, but rather a richly contextualized look at the ambitions of specific artists and artworks at a particular ...
Art Nouveau
Rarely has a subject been served by a book of this stature. Five years in the making, it covers all aspects of Art Nouveau in France in 624 authoritative pages and 740 illustrations. Arwas traces the evolution of the movement as it developed, primarily in Nancy and Paris, with the help of carefully chosen illustrations, many never published before. Ranging from the 1900 Paris exhibition to paintings, graphics and posters and such collecting fields as furniture, jewellery, ceramics, book bindings and sculpture, the informative, witty text ranges over architecture, haute couture, and the role of women in Art Nouveau with a particular look at such theatrical icons as Sarah Bernhardt, Loïe Fuller and the Grandes Horizontales. Destined to become the standard book on the subject, both content and design will appeal widely to the connoisseur, the specialist and the collector, as well as to the novice who will be introduced to the magical wonders of the style.
The New Testament - Arts & Comics
The texts tell the most beautiful stories from the Book of Books: the epic of the greatest personality of all time: Jesus Christ, illustrated by the works of the greatest artists of humanity. The result is this fascinating Graphic Novel, a book as you never saw before. ‘The New Testament – Arts & Comics’ presents the story of Jesus through the art of Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Raphael, Boticelli, Velasquez, Tissot and many others, in the dynamic and contemporary language of comics. This book is part of "The Bible - Arts and Comics", but showing paintings and artwork by other artists from those published in the New Testament, chapter contained in "The Bible - Arts and Comics" The New Testament and the beautiful messages of Jesus are presented here as a historical book, with no religious intention. The proposal is to entertain and bring knowledge, art and culture in an original and creative Graphic Novel. Good reading!
