A captivating visual exploration of fashion and modern style as seen through the eyes of artists across the globe, this hardback gift book examines the intricate relationship between the history of modern art and fashion.
Since the emergence of the seasonal fashion industry in the nineteenth century, Western artists have been engaging with fashion’s impact, meaning and forms in their artwork. In portraits, the clothes that sitters wear are often revelatory about their wider context or identity. But as time has passed, sartorial details artists used to provide visual praise or condemnation of their subjects have lost their legibility.
Discover the relationship between the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and the creation of the London department store Liberty; the free advertising Burberry received in paintings of the First World War, and how London’s ‘Swinging Sixties’ scene led to the creation of some of the most important and powerful artworks of the twentieth century.
Exploring the variety of ways in which artists have engaged with such possibilities over the last two hundred years, this book reveals the many ways modern fashion has featured within art and the ways art has become fashion.

Behind the Red Moon explores elemental forces interwoven with human histories of power, oppression, dispersion and survival. In this book contributions by art historians, artists and writers illuminate these themes, and a conversation between the artist and Tate curator Osei Bonsu casts light on the full range of Anatsui’s extraordinary work.
El Anatsui’s Behind the Red Moon is a monumental sculptural installation made of thousands of metal liquor bottle tops and fragments. Crumpling, crushing, and stitching them into different compositions, large panels are pieced together to form massive abstract fields of colour, shape and line. The work builds on Anatsui’s interest in histories of encounter and the migration of goods and people during the transatlantic slave trade.
In these astonishing hangings the past and present of Africa and Europe merge into sculptural forms that embody Anatsui’s idea of the ‘non-fixed form’ and are part of his highly experimental approach to sculpture. ‘Each material has its properties, physical and even spiritual,’ he explains.
Edited by Osei Bonsu, and with contributions by Bronwyn Katz, Julian Lucas, Kobena Mercer, Kwame Mintah, and Olu Oguibe.

This book charts the evolution of Peter Paul Rubens's style from 1608 until 1620 and his rise from relative anonymity to celebrity.
In 1600, Peter Paul Rubens left his home in Antwerp to travel to Italy and study the Italian masters. Eight years later, he returned to Belgium and quickly established himself as one of the foremost painters in Western Europe. This book explores Rubens's work from 1608 until 1620 and how, acutely aware of the possibilities for commercial success, he rose to fame by establishing a "brand" and promoting himself. He created multiple versions of paintings with subjects that had proven to be successful, used similar subject matter of famous artists in the past, and sought collaborators to create more ambitious works than he could have done alone. He also created a studio and workshop with numerous students and assistants, the most famous being Anthony van Dyck, who frequently collaborated with Rubens. Through paintings, drawings, and prints, this book shows how a desire for commercial success influenced and changed Rubens's artistic style. Essays delve into Italy's effect on Rubens, on the narrative aspect of his paintings, and how he managed commissions from famous patrons. Filled with new insights on the most fruitful phase of Rubens's career, this book offers a refreshing look at one of the most influential Baroque artists.

Auguste Rodin has been called the father of modern sculpture and on the centenary of his death this stunning book presents a fresh examination of his legacy. Exploring the full range of the work of French artist Auguste Rodin (1840–1917), this book also reveals the deep significance of Rodin’s oeuvre to the history of the Legion of Honor in San Francisco, which holds one of the finest collections of Rodin sculpture in the United States. The publication contains examples from his early days as a struggling artist to his mature and most successful works, including The Age of Bronze (ca. 1875–1877), Saint John the Baptist Preaching (1878), The Burghers of Calais (1885–1886), and The Kiss (ca. 1884). The majority of the bronzes are lifetime casts by the sculptor, making this collection a rare and significant body of Rodin’s output. A related group of plaster models and fragments augment these major pieces, adding to the scope and breadth of this volume. Showcasing beautiful new photography of more than fifty of Rodin’s most iconic artworks alongside an illuminating essay, this book will delight and surprise readers with its novel insights into one of the greatest sculptors in art history.

"The six performers at the center of this book―Yvette Guilbert, Jane Avril, Aristide Bruant, Marcelle Lender, May Belfort and Loïe Fuller―were all depicted by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and in some ways defined by his iconic renderings. Actors and actresses, comedians, cabaret singers and dancers, these figures were the stars of the new entertainments of 19th-century Paris.
This booming nightlife scene coincided with new developments in modern printmaking. Lautrec immortalized the performances and personas of the city’s entertainers in colorful lithographs, elevating the advertising poster to the status of high art. Artist and performer collaborated to exploit a new culture of entertainment and mass media, creating a new kind of celebrity in the process.
Lavishly illustrated with high-quality, full-color reproductions of Lautrec’s iconic images alongside some of his rarely seen sketches, and illuminated by insightful essays, this volume shines a spotlight on the stars of the Paris stage, the birth of modern celebrity culture and the brilliance of the artist who gave them enduring life."
"“I’m pursuing the impossible . . . I want to paint the air in which the bridge, the house, and boat are to be found—the beauty of the air around them . . .”
Claude Monet wanted to capture more than just air and light in impasto paint on canvas, as he explained in a conversation with the Danish author Herman Bang in 1895. The master of light was also a master of shadows and reflections. This is evident in his most famous paintings, such as that of the façade of the Rouen cathedral, or the haystacks painted against light, or in the reflections of the water lilies in the pond at Giverny. In particular, his sun-drenched groves, coastlines, and depictions of the Seine in both summer and winter, demonstrate how Monet revolutionized painting by questioning the conventional notions of what a painting could be.
This exquisite volume is devoted to the works from the period between 1880 and 1905 and truly paints Monet in a new light."

More than 150 years after his death, William Blake (1757–1827) remains a cryptic and controversial figure. Equally gifted as a poet and a painter, he produced work that is as arresting for its beauty as for its strangeness.
With this fresh examination of Blake’s unfolding career, William Vaughan presents an artist with a radical and utterly individual vision, who was deeply concerned with the social, religious, and political issues of his age.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841–1919) wird so sehr mit der Malerei des Impressionismus in Verbindung gebracht, dass die überraschende Vielfalt seines Frühwerks aus dem Blick gerät.
Das wichtigste Modell der frühen Jahre des Künstlers war seine Geliebte Lise Tréhot, mit der er zwischen 1865 und 1872 ein Verhältnis pflegte. Nachdem sie für eine umfangreiche Gruppe wichtiger Frühwerke, darunter Die Dame mit dem Möwenhütchen und Im Sommer, beide aus dem Jahr 1868, posiert hatte, verabschiedete sich Lise vom Bohèmeleben zugunsten einer bürgerlichen Ehe. Die ab 1864 bis Ende der 1870er-Jahre entstandenen Gemälde zeigen Renoirs künstlerisches Spektrum – die Entwicklung seiner malerischen Sprache einschließlich der impressionistischen Phase.
Die Publikation widmet sich erstmals ausführlich Renoirs frühem Œuvre und verdeutlicht die prägenden Einflüsse enger Künstlerfreundschaften mit Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, Frédéric Bazille und Alfred Sisley.
The classic, scandalous, and bestselling tell-all-and-then-some from Andy Warhol—now a Netflix series produced by Ryan Murphy.
This international literary sensation turns the spotlight on one of the most influential and controversial figures in American culture. Filled with shocking observations about the lives, loves, and careers of the rich, famous, and fabulous, Warhol's journal is endlessly fun and fascinating.
Spanning the mid-1970s until just a few days before his death in 1987, THE ANDY WARHOL DIARIES is a compendium of the more than twenty thousand pages of the artist's diary that he dictated daily to Pat Hackett. In it, Warhol gives us the ultimate backstage pass to practically everything that went on in the world-both high and low. He hangs out with "everybody": Jackie O ("thinks she's so grand she doesn't even owe it to the public to have another great marriage to somebody big"), Yoko Ono ("We dialed F-U-C-K-Y-O-U and L-O-V-E-Y-O-U to see what happened, we had so much fun"), and "Princess Marina of, I guess, Greece," along with art-world rock stars Jean-Michel Basquiat, Francis Bacon, Salvador Dali, and Keith Haring.
Warhol had something to say about everyone who crossed his path, whether it was Lou Reed or Liberace, Patti Smith or Diana Ross, Frank Sinatra or Michael Jackson. A true cultural artifact, THE ANDY WARHOL DIARIES amounts to a portrait of an artist-and an era-unlike any other.
Some 40 carefully chosen juxtapositions of masterpieces by both artists trace a dialogue that ranks among the most fascinating in art history.
This publication brings Pablo Picasso's (1881-1973) encounter with the Cretan-born old master Doménikos Theotokópoulos, better known as El Greco (1541-1614), vividly to life. El Greco’s unmistakable painting style won him considerable fame in his day. Soon after his death, however, his work was largely forgotten.
It was only around 1900 that an El Greco revival was launched, with Picasso advancing the cause. His engagement with the Greek-Spanish master not only went far deeper than has previously been assumed but also lasted much longer. From his first encounter with El Greco's works shortly before 1900 until the end of his life, Picasso not only referenced but engaged in a fascinating artistic dialogue with the old master.
The KUNSTMUSEUM BASEL houses the oldest public art collection in the world. For the exhibition, curators Carmen Gimenez and Josef Helfenstein bring together prestigious loans from around the world with a core group of Picasso's works from their own collection.
Das Jahr 1918 markiert das Ende einer großen Ära: Es ist das Todesjahr von Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Koloman Moser und Otto Wagner. Das Kunstgeschehen hatte sich jedoch schon früher von deren Einfluss gelöst. Von politischen Umbrüchen kaum berührt entfaltet sich in den Nachfolgestaaten der Donaumonarchie ein reges Kunstschaffen, geleitet vom Wunsch nach Aufbruch.
Die Zeit zwischen den beiden Weltkriegen ist in der Kunst geprägt von internationaler Vernetzung abseits neuer politischer und ideologischer Grenzen. Es findet ein reger künstlerischer Austausch statt, aus dem heraus sich konstruktive, expressionistische und fantastische Tendenzen entwickeln. Eine wichtige Rolle spielen dabei zunehmend Zeitschriften, über die sich neue Positionen verbreiten. Der Ausbruch des II. Weltkriegs setzt diesen kosmopolitischen Künstlernetzwerken ein jähes Ende. Der Band führt durch die faszinierende, künstlerisch fruchtbare Epoche der Zwischenkriegsjahre.
Mit Werken von rund 80 Künstlern, u.a. Josef Capek, Friedl Dicker-Brandeis, Albin Egger-Lienz, Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka, Koloman Moser, Antonin Prochaska, Egon Schiele, Lajos Tihanyi u.v.m.
Dieser Katalog zur Ausstellung im Kunstmuseum Luzern umfasst das gesamte Schaffen des herausragenden britischen Künstlers David Hockney. Mit mehr als 80 Gemälden, Zeichnungen und Druckgrafiken spannt sich das Lebenswerk aus Hockneys Londoner Studienzeit über die 1960er-Jahre in Los Angeles, die Neuausrichtung seiner Malerei in den 1980er-Jahren, einem Jahrzehnt mit Landschaften aus Yorkshire bis hin zu seinen jüngsten, monumentalen iPad-Zeichnungen.
Diese Werke aus der Sammlung der Tate bilden die magische Essenz dieses großen Œuvres, darunter die Doppelporträts My Parents und Mr and Mrs Clark and Percy oder das ikonische A Bigger Splash.
Die Essays beleuchten Hockneys Sozialisation in der jungen Queer Culture Englands der 1960er-Jahre; persönliche Beiträge und Erinnerungen von Frank Gehry, Marieke Lucas Rijneveld, Ed Ruscha, Christine Streuli oder Ali Smith markieren Hockneys große Bedeutung für die zeitgenössische Alltagskultur.
