A spectacular visual biography of one of the greatest architects of the 20th century.
"The man who designed the 20th century - [Le Corbusier] arguably had more of an influence on the form of the modern world than any other architect... You couldn't make a book like this about just any architect. Beyond the architecture, reveals a great deal about the man himself. It all points to a life lived enviably fully."—The Guardian Online
"Formidable and wide-ranging... Le Corbusier Le Grand is a feast... Every page is dense with ideas... A source book for the modern world."—Jonathan Meades, News Statesman
"The impact of all the illustrations is undoubtedly fascinating - a real joy [ - ] to browse through - conveys the experience of a day at a really well organised archive."—Building Design

The nude figure was critical to the art of Edgar Degas throughout his life, and yet frequently his expansive body of work on this subject has been overshadowed by his celebrated portraits and dancers.
"Degas and the Nude" is the first book in a generation to explore the artist's treatment of the nude from his early years in the 1850s and 1860s, through his triumphs in the 1880s and 1890s, all the way to his last decades when the theme dominated his artistic production in all media.
With essays by leading American and French critics, it provides a new interpretation of Degas' evolving conception of the nude, situating it in the subject's broader context among his peers in nineteenth-century France.
It explores how Degas exploited all of the body's expressive possibilities, how his vision of the nude informed his notion of modernity, and how he abandoned the classical or historical form in favor of a figure seen in her own time and setting--whether engaged in overtly carnal acts or just stepping out of an ordinary bath.
More than 200 lushly rendered full-color images present a re-seeing of Degas' subject in paintings, pastels, drawings, prints and sculpture. Among them are the most important of Degas' early paintings of nudes, Scene of War in the Middle Ages, which exerted a lifelong influence on the artist's treatment of the female nude and includes poses repeated throughout his career; monotypes of the late 1870s, almost caricature-like in their imagery, illustrating Degas' most explicitly sexual depictions of women in Parisian brothels; and a number of pictures portraying the daily life of women wherever they may reside. Together these iterations range over more than a half-century of genius achievement and present a groundbreaking look at the evolution of this master artist.
Over the course of his fifty-year career, American photographer Edward Weston (1886-1958) blazed a path into Photo-Modernism rendering portraits, landscapes, still-lifes and nudes. In 1902, a sixteen-year-old Weston took up photography in Highland Park, Illinois, where he worked as an amateur for five years. In 1907, at the age of twenty-one, Weston moved to Tropico, California, now the city of Glendale in Los Angeles County, where he constructed his first studio and set about with great purpose to become a photographic artist. Examining Weston's earliest sharp- and soft-focus photographs reveals that the young artist had already formed a perfect sense of composition that was to be the hallmark of his later work.
Presenting Weston's earliest work from a recently discovered family album, Edward Weston: Portrait of the Young Man as an Artist compares the artist's naive first artistic efforts with his latest masterworks to show the persistence and evolution of his singular vision to find essential form in the vernacular with an ever-increasing intensity.
As a young man deeply intuitive and original in his creative expression, Edward Weston demonstrates that his teenage work, beginning with his amateur snapshots, embrace the same significant form as the later work for which he is now considered a master.
Arguably one of the most mainstream music styles today, rap was in fact born centuries ago in West Africa with historians or 'griots' who used to tell stories of the past over the beat of a drum. But it wasn't until the 1970s in New York that rapping as we know it was born and began to flourish. 50 Rappers Who Changed the World profiles some of the genre's biggest influencers, from the 1970s until the present day.
From groundbreaking groups like Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five and The Sugarhill Gang in the 70s, to Run-DMC and Public Enemy in the 80s, Biggie, Tupac and Snoop in the 90s, and Eminem and Jay-Z in the 00s, this is a history of music for anyone who loves rap. Featuring MCs like West Coast legends including N.W.A. and Ice-T, and countless women who changed the game, like Salt-n-Pepa, MC Lyte and Missy Elliott.

Wassily Kandinsky, 1866 in Moskau geboren und 1944 in Paris gestorben, ist einer der großen Erneuerer der Kunst des 20. Jahrhunderts und gilt als Begründer der abstrakten Malerei. Die weltweit größten Sammlungen an Werken Wassily Kandinskys findet man in der Städtischen Galerie im Lenbachhaus München, im Centre Georges Pompidou Paris und im Guggenheim Museum New York – gemeinsam zeigen nun diese drei Museen eine große Retrospektive über den herausragenden Vertreter der modernen Kunst, Wassily Kandinsky.
Es werden ausschließlich Hauptwerke seiner Malerei präsentiert, die für Kandinskys künstlerische Entwicklung entscheidend waren. Die Bilderschau im Kunstbau wird ergänzt durch die Ausstellung des kompletten druckgrafischen Werks Kandinskys im Lenbachhaus.
Dieser Katalog zur Ausstellung bietet hochwertige Abbildungen der Gemälde sowie Fotografien aus dem Leben des Künstlers und außerdem Werke, die nicht in der Ausstellung zu sehe sind.
Picasso befasste sich ab den 50er Jahren intensiv mit dem Linolschnitt und verhalf ihm damit zu einer Renaissance, nachdem er lange Jahre als vernachlässigte künstlerische Technik galt.
Der vorliegende Katalogband zu der vom Kunstmuseum Pablo Picasso Münster konzipierten Ausstellung beschreibt Picassos unkonventionellen Umgang mit dem Druckverfahren und erzählt die Geschichte des Linolschnitts ebenso wie die biografischen Rahmenbedingungen, unter denen der Künstler die Werke schuf.
Mit rund 100 Abbildungen führt der Band durch einen Bildkosmos aus Stierkampfszenen, mythologischen Darstellungen und Porträts. Zahlreiche Probe- und Zustandsdrucke belegen den experimentellen Umgang Picassos mit dem Medium des Linolschnitts. Die zwischen 1954 und 1968 entstandenen Werke dokumentieren vor allem das reife Schaffen des Spaniers und gleichzeitig atmen die Bilder die fast jugendliche Beschwingtheit eines Künstlers, der mit über 70 Jahren noch einmal „Lehrling“ in einer von ihm unerprobten Technik wurde.
Camille Pissarro (1830–1903) galt unter seinen Künstlerfreunden als der erste Impressionist. Seine Graphik setzt die Ideen dieser Maler an der Schwelle zur Moderne in sensible und variationsreich ausgeführte Bilderfindungen um.
Der Katalog des Picasso-Museums in Münster erschließt damit einen vergessenen Aspekt auf die Innovationen des Impressionismus. Zwar war Pissarro der Älteste unter den Pariser Impressionisten, doch liefen bei ihm die Impulse ihrer künstlerischen Neuausrichtung zusammen.
Auf der Suche nach einer malerisch befreiten Bildform stieß er gemeinsam mit Cézanne, Guillaumin und Gachet auf die Möglichkeiten der Graphik. Das skizzenhafte Arbeiten mit Radierung und Lithographie erlaubte ihnen die Fixierung des Moments. Der Zustand der Druckplatten war nie definitiv, sondern ließ prozessual Motivveränderungen zu. Der einzelne Abzug wurde so zum kostbaren Dokument des Unwiederbringlichen.
Das mit vielen illustrativen Details ausgestattete Katalogbuch zeigt die Bandbreite des graphischen Schaffens von Pissarro und öffnet den Blick für eine ganz besondere Variante des Impressionismus.
Marc Chagall (1887-1985) ist als malender Träumer in die Kunstgeschichte eingegangen. In seinen farbenprächtigen Werken scheinen die Gesetze der Schwerkraft und der Logik aufgehoben zu sein. Wie kaum einem anderen Künstler gelingt es ihm, die Wirklichkeit in eine romantische Traumwelt zu verwandeln, in den Menschen und phantastische Wesen gemeinsam durch Bildräume schweben.
In Chagalls Werken herrscht keine Trennung zwischen dem Religiösen und dem Weltlichen. Der Künstler wuchs in der Tradition des Chassidismus auf, einer jüdischen Erweckungsbewegung. Nach der Lehre des Chassidismus gibt es nichts, worin Gott nicht ist. Die Bildwelten des Künstlers zeigen, wie selbstverständlich und virtuos Chagall die Menschlichkeit biblischer Geschichten und das Wundersame des Alltags miteinander verwob.
Der Ausstellungskatalog mit seinen Texten zu Zeichnungen und Grafiken, taucht tief in die phantastische Traumwelt des Künstlers ein und spürt zugleich seinen Inspirationsquellen in der realen Welt nach.
Die Freundschaft zwischen Jean Cocteau und Pablo Picasso gehört zu den Gründungsmythen der Kunst des 20. Jahrhunderts. 100 Jahre nach ihren Anfängen widmet sich das Picasso Museum in Münster dieser kaum einen Bereich der Kunst unberührt lassenden Welt des kreativen Miteinanders in den Ateliers, Cafés und auf den Bühnen des Montparnasse.
Vielbegabt und einander herausfordernd: Mit Picasso und Cocteau trafen sich zwei durch und durch komplementäre Künstlernaturen, der eine von unbändiger bildnerischer Energie, poetisch reflektierend der andere. Es sind diese beiden Künstler, die mit ihrem Sinn für das Magische im Realen den Gegenpol zu den Surrealisten bildeten. In Dichtung, Tanz, Bühne, Bild, Zeichnung, Grafik, Keramik, Plastik, Film, Buchgestaltung und oft in gemeinsamen Projekten lebten sie ihr gestaltendes Weltverständnis aus.
Der Katalog nimmt anschaulich und repräsentativ diese Themenvielfalt auf und öffnet dafür die Schätze einer exquisiten Privatsammlung.
Seit Neuestem beherbergt das Kunstmuseum Pablo Picasso die größte Matisse-Sammlung Deutschlands, die zuvor 60 Jahre lang in einem Pariser Banksafe der Matisse-Erbengemeinschaft lagerte.
Insgesamt 121 Werke decken alle Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten im Schaffen des großen Meisters der klassischen Moderne ab, darunter Holzschnitte, Lithografien, Radierungen, Linolschnitte und Aquatinten. Die Grafiken dokumentieren rund 50 Schaffensjahre von Matisse: vom frühesten Blatt von 1906 bis zum spätesten aus dem Jahr 1952, ergänzt um zehn Malerbücher des Künstlers.
In der Publikation stehen die Arbeitsweise und der Werkprozess im Mittelpunkt. Neben den Werken auf Papier werden Gemälde, Skulpturen, ein Scherenschnitt und Tapisserien aus internationalen Museen und Privatsammlungen präsentiert.
Wertvolle Stoffe und farbenfrohe Muster, atemberaubende Gewänder, Teppiche und Gebrauchsgegenstände des Vorderen Orients zogen Henri Matisse (1869–1954) in ihren Bann. Wiederholt besuchte der Künstler Algerien und Marokko.
Er inszenierte seine Reisesouvenirs im Atelier zu einer fantastischen Bildwelt, die ihm als künstlerische Inspirationsquelle diente. Das Zusammenspiel von Figur und Ornament bestimmt die Darstellung der Odalisken, jener Haremsdamen in ihren Gemächern oder die von lockeren Stoffen umspielten weiblichen Akte. Das Ornament fungiert keineswegs nur als Dekoration, sondern als zentraler Bestandteil von Matisse‘ Bildlogik.
Der Band vereint hochkarätige Gemälde, Skulpturen, Zeichnungen und Grafiken, gibt Einblicke ins Atelier und spannt einen Bogen von den frühen 1920er- bis in die späten 1940er-Jahre.
In its most prestigious exhibition to date, the Fondation Beyeler has devoted itself to the early paintings and sculptures of Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) that date from his so-called Blue and Pink periods to early Cubism.
The paintings from this stage of his career, all produced between 1901 and 1907, are milestones on the road Picasso took to becoming the most famous artist of the twentieth century. They can be counted among modernism s most beautiful and most emotional works, and are also some of the most precious works of art ever to exist.
This comprehensive exhibition and its companion catalogue feature around eighty masterpieces, most of which are only rarely loaned out by famous museums and private collections around the world.
Alberto Giacometti (1901−1966) and Francis Bacon (1909−1992) are two artists whose bodies of work influenced twentieth-century art and continue to resonate to this day. What turned them into icons in their field has to do with their individual lifestyles, as well as with the historical, social, and aesthetic upheavals in Europe after 1945, which each artist reflected upon in his ouevre. The Fondation Beyeler has ambitiously undertaken a juxtaposition of the two artists in a large, upcoming exhibition in 2018. In a fascinating way, the meeting of the two artists’ work here is like a dialogue about space and time, in which it is possible to recognize each man’s art in the work of the other. The show’s companion catalogue continues to intensify and carry on this conversation in words and pictures.
In around 1600, Rome was the center of the art world. Attracted by Caravaggio’s spectacular success, young artists from all over Europe converged on the bustling metropolis to study and discuss his breathtaking and unconventional works, each using his style to develop their own individual pictorial language. Artists from the Dutch tradition were particularly influenced by the Italian master’s dramatic use of lighting and perspective, and carried Caravaggio’s merciless realism to extremes.
Featuring more than seventy paintings, this stunning volume traces the careers of the most important Utrecht Caravaggists—from Hendrick ter Brugghen to Gerard van Honthorst and Dirck van Baburen—and illuminates the wider atmosphere of rebellion and renewal in the art world during this time.
Manet, Pissarro, Morisot, Cezanne, Seurat, Gauguin, Van Gogh and their colleagues made some of the most beautiful drawings in the history of art. This book sets drawings by the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists in the context of late nineteenth-century France and explains why these particular works are as important as their paintings in the representation of modernity. A new approach to materials and a wholly inclusive attitude to exhibitions gave drawings a more elevated status in this period than ever before, which avant-garde artists welcomed in their preference for scenes from contemporary life.
For the first time also, painting and drawing shared the same stylistic principles of spontaneity, freer handling and lack of finish. Pastels by Degas, watercolors by Cezanne, pen-and-ink drawings by Van Gogh and mixed media works by Toulouse-Lautrec have an autonomy of their own, which proved instrumental in the development of modern art. The distinguished art historian Christopher Lloyd examines the drawings of twenty of the leading Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists, highlighting an aspect of French avant-garde art that remains relatively unexplored and was of immense importance for the art movements that followed.
On the 100th anniversary of their deaths, Gustav Klimt and Auguste Rodin are celebrated as two pioneers of modernism who set new standards in their chosen media.
Although they worked in different media, Auguste Rodin and Gustav Klimt were two artists whose output generated both incredible enthusiasm and virulent denunciation in their lifetimes. On the centenary of their deaths, in 1917 and 1918 respectively, this opulent volume highlights the remarkable parallels between the two creators: their passion for the human figure, erotic subject matter, pioneering techniques, and the achievement of international success. In chapters of alternating perspectives, this book features essays on fin-de-siècle Vienna, the phenomenon of artistic celebrity, and a tribute to the two seminal works that each artist gave the same name: The Kiss.
Bringing these two masters together for the first time in such a detailed manner, this book captures a significant moment in European culture and demonstrates why their geniuses still speak so profoundly to us today.
Rembrandt is probably the most famous Dutch painter of the seventeenth century. His works are greatly loved today, but he was not always so well regarded. His life was one of a dramatic rise and fall, unfolding during the Golden Age of the newly formed Dutch Republic.
Rembrandt's public acclaim and wealth as a painter came to him as a very young man. His images were vigorous, psychologically compelling but also often less than flattering. By his middle age taste had shifted to more idealized visions, and by the time of his death in 1669 Rembrandt was destitute.
But whether the public was with or against him, Rembrandt continued to paint with the same passion, and arguably the art he produced in his final, destitute years is his most intimate, sensitive and open.
Antoni Gaudi has a reputation as monastic, mad and hermetic. But the architect of many of the buildings that define Barcelona's cityscape was no mad eccentric. He was a genius inspired by his faith in nature and the divine.
Picking up the same strands of eclecticism and art nouveau current in fin de siecle European architecture, he transformed them into an idiom unique to himself and Barcelona to create a series of buildings as revolutionary in their engineering as they were astonishing for their spaces. For Gaudi his work was his life, and this book reveals the exuberant world and groundbreaking work of this unique figure in the history of modern architecture.
Paul Cezanne challenged convention and pioneered new possibilities in painting. He was remarkable for his ability to perceive and paint aspects of everyday life in ways that revealed dynamic yet deeply harmonious visions of the world. But the intellectual and emotional difficulties of his achievements were considerable.
Mainly self-taught, most of his career was plagued by rejection. The critics, and the public, disliked his paintings, and in 1884 Cezanne declared that Paris, the centre of the nineteenth-century art world, had defeated him. Repeatedly, he retreated into self-doubt and bad temper.
This book follows Cezanne on his extraordinary artistic journey, focusing on his formative discoveries, made not in the flashy, fashionable metropolis of Paris but in provincial and rural France, often in isolation.
