This dazzling survey of 16th-century Venetian painting captures the striking colors and revolutionary characteristics of one of art history's greatest chapters. It is hard to imagine more profoundly influential artists than the Venetian painters of the 16th century. Whether creating sweeping devotional altarpieces or intimate portraits, the Venetian painters changed the way artists employed color and composition. These defining qualities are on brilliant display in this book that covers fascinating aspects of the work of Titian, Veronese, Tintoretto, Lorenzo Lotto, Jacopo Bassano, and many others. More than one hundred paintings, drawings, and prints are reproduced in stunning detail. Side-by-side comparisons draw readers into the conversations between Venetian artists as they tackled similar subjects and vied for commissions. The book opens with fascinating essays about the history of 16th-century Venice, the Venetian School of painting, and the techniques of the Venetian masters. As beautiful as it is informative, this book features all of the excitement and splendor of one of the most prolific and important chapters in the history of European art.
Fashion photographer Arthur Elgort has loved jazz since he was nine years old, when a childhood friend introduced him to the music; he soon found himself frequenting jazz clubs all over his native New York City.
The dynamic style that made Elgort such a sensation in fashion photography was directly informed by his love for jazz and dance. His talent as a photographer grew alongside his interest and knowledge of jazz. By the time he was a well-known working photographer, Elgort could parlay his influence into meetings with his boyhood idols, requesting to have his favorite musicians appear in both his fashion and personal work.
Countless jazz greats have appeared in front of Elgort's camera, including Illinois Jacquet, Dexter Gordon and Dorothy Donegan. Each sitting produced not only images but memorable stories: the time Elgort took Dorothy shopping at Chanel; what it was like to shoot Dexter in his Hell's Kitchen apartment; getting to know Illinois and his wife personally. Arthur Elgort: Jazz collects these moments and more, exploring for the first time the creative exchange between the photographer and his musical heroes.
A spectacular retrospective of the profoundly influential photographer Rankin s extraordinary thirty-year career on the cutting edge of fashion and pop culture.
Masterworks from the Brooklyn Museum Costume Collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. An alluring, opulent showcase of hundreds of beautiful historic clothing items and accessories.
After losing himself in Taos, New Mexico, for 15 years, Dennis Hopper returned to Los Angeles in the mid-1980s. In 1987, Hopper began to use a Polaroid camera to document gang graffiti. He was particularly drawn to the abstract shapes of overlapping paint that appeared when graffiti had been covered up or written over, reminding him, he said, “that art is everywhere in every corner that you choose to frame and not just ignore and walk by.” The Polaroids presented for the first time in this book are proof of that. Hopper firmly considered himself an “Abstract Expressionist and action painter by nature, and a Duchampian finger pointer by choice.” Hopper transformed the instantaneous, disposable nature of Polaroid film into pictures as deliberate and final as images achieved by an artist painting on canvas, and these images represent the first part of his journey back to the world of photography, picking up where he had left off in the 1960s.
Aaron Rose— curator, film director, and the founder of the legendary Alleged Gallery in New York City—contributes a text, which is informed by his deep connection to the Beautiful Losers generation of artists, including Barry McGee, Mike Mills, Chris Johanson, Ari Marcopoulos, and Ed Templeton.
This book is a companion to Drugstore Camera (Damiani, 2015) also edited and designed by Michael Schmelling, which presented Hopper’s personal photographs taken in Taos, New Mexico.
Witness the rise of New York City through dozens of historic and contemporary aerial photographs that chart the city’s ever-changing skyline. From the ground, New York City can feel like a chaotic jumble of traffic, pedestrians, one-way streets, parks, and buildings of every shape and size. But above the city, away from the cacophony and the commotion, New York can be tranquil and awe-inspiring.
The city that never sleeps also never stops changing, which is why this phenomenal collection of historic maps and aerial photos is a fascinating way to explore New York’s evolution. The book opens with maps of 17th-century Manhattan, a quiet settlement with a ragged shoreline. A series of chronological illustrations show the city’s northward expansion, the establishment of its grid system, and the creation of Central Park. The next three chapters include aerial photographs that chart the city’s unbelievable expansion in every direction, including skyward.
As buildings rise, as the shoreline expands with ports and landfills, and as more sophisticated photographic techniques allow for breathtaking views of New York’s unmistakable skyline, this lush, oversized book captures a city that is truly alive. Author Peter Skinner’s commentaries on the photographs and maps will guide readers through what is certain to become a treasured book for all who love New York.
Unique Comic Book! Rembrandt as you have never seen him before in an absolute masterpiece by the Dutch illustrator and cartoonist Typex. For three years Typex lived with Rembrandt, obsessively, day after day, from dawn until deep into the night.
The result is a visually overwhelming graphic novel, in which Typex brings 'his' genius Rembrandt to life: petulant, vain, arrogant, crass, touchy, but also endearing, disarming and sometimes pathetic. This award-winning book is a virtuoso masterpiece to take up again and again.
An evocative celebration of the men of gypsy flamenco culture, from one of contemporary photography's most gifted artists.
Known for his edgy photographs, Ruven Afanador amazes again with another collection of images that will seduce and delight. Following up on Mil Besos - which focused on the women of flamenco - Afanador turns his powerful vision to the men of flamenco, with startling results.
Photographed in Andalusian Spain, these unique images present a universe inhabited by gypsies, musicians, and most of all the male flamenco dancers, full of beauty and bravado. Captured in arranged poses or in mid-dance, the dancers embody the wild, youthful passion inherent in the musical world of flamenco. As likely to be in gorgeous costumes as in the nude, these men exude gritty glamour, innate classicism, and a singularly charged eroticism.
Combining the surreal glamour of fashion with documentary photography, these striking black-and-white images will appeal to both the fashion crowd as well as the serious art photography audience.
W książce zaprezentowano - rzadko podejmowane w literaturze dotyczącej tak metodologii historii sztuki, jak i historii fotografii - zagadnienie reprodukcji dzieła sztuki i artefaktu. Jest to o tyle zaskakujące, że fotografia zaczęła się od reprodukcji właśnie, od faksymile innych obrazów, które tworzył od 1822 roku Nicphore Nipce. W tym samym czasie historia sztuki wyemancypowała jako odrębna dyscyplina akademicka i od początku jej przedstawiciele posługiwali się nowym medium, i w procesie badawczym, dydaktycznym, i w publikacjach swoich prac. Fotografia nie była jednak nigdy medium transparentnym. Magdalena Wróblewska pokazuje szczególnie jej uwikłania w aktualny dyskurs władzy (zwłaszcza w kolonializm) oraz w reżim wiedzy ("obiektywność"). Fotograficzna reprodukcja dzieła ukazana została nie jako proste narzędzie, ale medium, współtworzące zarówno przedmiot badań, jak i samą dyscyplinę. Książka Magdaleny Wróblewskiej jest na gruncie polskich badań pionierskim spojrzeniem na fotografię jako na medium ściśle związane z wczesnym rozwojem historii sztuki jako autonomicznej dyscypliny naukowej; nie medium służebne czy pomocnicze, lecz aktywnie współkonstytuujące tę dziedzinę wiedzy. Jest otworzeniem oczu na niezauważane, mimowiedne, lecz, jak się okazuje, tkwiące u samych podstaw naukowego działania czynniki pracy badawczej. Książka ta wnosi bardzo istotny wkład w krytyczną, rewizyjną, lecz w rezultacie niezbędną i ożywczą refleksję nad naszą dyscypliną. prof. dr hab.

Czy można oglądać programy telewizyjne, nie mając telewizji i nie korzystając z platform streamingowych? Jak zmienia się interaktywność telewizji pod wpływem mediów społecznościowych? Jak odbiorcy definiują telewizję w dobie nowych mediów? Książka Aleksandry Powierskiej przynosi odpowiedzi na powyższe pytania, prezentując świeże podejście do badań nad przemianami współczesnej telewizji. W efekcie przeprowadzonych analiz powstaje koncepcja sieciowości telewizji, która w duchu teorii ANT wskazuje na coraz większą liczbę aktorów ludzkich i nie-ludzkich kształtujących praktyki odbiorcze oraz doświadczenia widzów-użytkowników. W publikacji nie brakuje również wątków dotyczących języka mediów społecznościowych, komunikacyjnej roli obrazów oraz znaczenia algorytmów."Książka doskonale wpisuje się w prowadzone w Polsce i na świecie badania środowisk medialnych, a także opisuje przemiany, które zachodzą w środowiskach nowych mediów. Wskazana przez Autorkę kategoria sieciowości telewizji, ukazująca telewizję jako połączenie sieci technicznej i potencjału społecznego, rzuca ciekawe światło na badania związane z telewidzeniem".Z recenzji dr hab. prof.

Since 1940 Slim Aarons has been hard at work, first as a war photographer, then with unprecedented access as a photographer to the rich and famous. In this gorgeous sequel to Slim Aarons-Once Upon a Time, he develops the environmental portrait to the level of art, always showing his subjects in their natural setting, in a circumstance synonymous with their station in life. He documented a particular world that is vanished. A Place in the Sun is that special glimpse of privilege under a bright and beaming sky, whether on sandy shore, snowy slope, or elegant home where cares are few. Through 250 stunning color pictures, Aarons provides a veritable who's who of high society: Aristotle Onassis with his first wife, Tina, and their children, Christina and Alexander; C.Z. Guest at her villa in Palm Beach; the Aga Khan at his Sardinian resort; and Truman Capote in Palm Springs. From Mustique to Monaco, from Aspen to Gstaad, only Slim Aarons can take us on a journey to the most exclusive playgrounds of the rich, inspiring even the most jaded armchair traveler. Also available from Slim Aarons: Slim Aarons: Women, Slim Aarons: Once Upon a Time, Poolside with Slim Aarons, and Slim Aarons: La Dolce Vita.
Glamorous fashions, personalities, and places captured by iconic photographer Slim Aarons
Slim Aarons, at least according to the man himself, did not photograph fashion: "I didn't do fashion. I did the people in their clothes that became the fashion." But despite what he claimed, Aarons's work is indelibly tied to fashion. Aarons's incredibly influential photographs of high society and socialites being unambiguously themselves are still a source of inspiration for modern day style icons.
Slim Aarons: Style showcases the photographs that both recorded and influenced the luminaries of the fashion world. This volume features early black-and-white fashion photography, as well as portraits of the fashionable elite-like Jacqueline de Ribes, C.Z. Guest, Nan Kempner, and Marisa Berenson-and those that designed the clothes, such as Oscar de la Renta, Emilio Pucci, Mary McFadden, and Lilly Pulitzer. Featuring some never-before-seen images and detailed captions written by fashion historians, Slim Aarons: Style is a collection of the photographer's most stylish work.
When it comes to building a brand, logo design is often one of the first few important steps in the creative journey. In addition to encapsulating what the business stands for and making an impactful first impression upon launch, it has to be instantly recognisable and stand out amid other similar offerings in an often saturated market. With so much more competition to contend with today, how can designers help start-ups and evolving brands put their best foot forward visually?
A key branding element used by many of the biggest companies around the world, a logotype revolves around a company's name or initials and features typography as the main design approach. Often the starting point before it is further refined into a purely symbolic image or icon, it combines two distinct design disciplines to differentiate brands from one another - a process that takes acumen, skill and empathy. FROM TYPE TO LOGO details some of these processes in a compelling book of case studies that make an inspiring reference point for budding and working branding professionals alike.

Our lives are increasingly lived on screens, and every one of our electronic interactions is mediated by a designed interface, which can be buggy and incomprehensible or inviting and accessible. Like other ubiquitous everyday tools, these interfaces are seldom recognized as objects of design—and even less as objects of interaction design. In video games, however, in which “play” is an essential feature, users are acutely aware of their relationship with the interface, making video games compelling examples of interaction design.Published in conjunction with an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, Never Alone: Video Games as Interactive Design explores the impact of interactive design by examining 35 video games created between 1972 and 2018—from Space Invaders (1978) and Pac-Man (1980) to The Sims (2000) and Minecraft (2011). An overarching essay by the curator Paola Antonelli presents the pioneering criteria by which MoMA has chosen these video games for its collection, as well as the protocols for their acquisition, display, and conservation. The richly illustrated plate section is divided into three sections that analyze input devices (keyboards, joysticks, buttons), game designers, and players, and each game is accompanied by a short text illuminating its significance in the history of the medium.
Featuring nineteen home-building and design strategies that are direct, original and often surprisingly simple, this inspirational sourcebook presents a mix of new technology and time-tested vernacular methods that will change the way we think about ‘home’.

Nothing short of a design revolution is underway as we confront climate change, polluting plastics, global migration, rapidly expanding cities and an ageing population. Part handbook, part manifesto, Houses that Can Save the World shows how architects, designers, engineers, self-builders, artists and others are embracing the new challenges the human race is facing.
Whether you are planning a self-build or are simply looking for ways to make your home more environmentally friendly and efficient, this book is packed with innovative ideas that can help us to make our homes and the world a better place to be.
Since his emergence in the early seventies, Martin Scorsese has become one of the most respected names in cinema. Classics such as Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Goodfellas are regularly cited as being among the finest films ever made.
This lavish retrospective is a fitting tribute to a remarkable director, now into his sixth decade in cinema and showing no signs of slowing up. Leading film writer Tom Shone draws on his in-depth knowledge and distinctive viewpoint to present refreshing commentaries on all twenty-three main features, from the rarely shown Who’s That Knocking at My Door (1967) to the latest release, The Irishman (2019), as well as covering Scorsese’s parallel career as a documentary maker.
