London: Unit Editions, 2016. Limited Edition of 2000. Paperback. NEW. New, in publisher's shrink wrap. AVAILABLE NOW. The Original Edition by graphic design publisher Unit Editions. Another gorgeous title from Unit Editions, Action Time Vision is a collection of DIY graphics from the punk and post-punk eras. Brook and Shaughnessy are masters at digging through graphic design archives to pull out some of the most inspired, often underrepresented work from previous decades, and they don't disappoint here. Fast Co Design Rather than referencing the Sex Pistols or The Clash, Action Time Vision credits the designs of Wire, Bauhaus and Penetration sleeves, the ones with a 'disquieting look about them.' This curation of sleeves allows a representation of the extensive language of punk, while cleverly concentrating on its graphic design influence. Lucy Bourton, It's Nice That Music from the punk era transformed the world of music. If you could play three chords, you could make records. You didn't even… Read More

Fine Only leafed through once - like new 2 heavy volumes Ships from Hawaii Adam von Bartsch gilt als "Ahnvater" der modernen Graphikforschung, formulierte er doch nicht nur grundlegende Ueberlegungen zur Systematisierung von Druckgraphik, sondern schuf mit seinem 21-baendigen "Le Peintre Graveur" (1803-1821) ein fundamentales Korpuswerk, das bis heute den Ausgangspunkt fuer die Beschaeftigung mit graphischer Kunst von den Anfaengen bis ins 18 Jahrhundert darstellt Kaum bekannt ist hingegen, dass Bartsch auch kuenstlerisch taetig war und mit einem OEuvre von fast 600 Blatt zu den innovativsten Graphikern seiner Zeit gehoerte, dessen herausragende Stellung in der Graphik um 1800 noch nicht dargestellt wurde Neben Portraets und Illustrationsgraphik widmete er sich vor allem der Reproduktion von Handzeichnungen alter Meister und schuf auf diesem Gebiet zahlreiche Blaetter, die teils einzeln, teils als Folgen verlegt wurden Der… Read More

Steidl The Masters, 2017. New. NEW, Steidl, 2017. 232 pages, 12 x 1.2 x 12.6 inches. Ships from Hawaii. -- When celebrated photographer Arnold Newman began his career in 1938 in chain portrait studios in Philadelphia, Baltimore and West Palm Beach, he also immediately began to make abstract and documentary photography on his own, studying people and places impoverished by the Depression. In June of 1941, Beaumont Newhall of The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and Alfred Stieglitz "discovered" him, and he was given an exhibit with Ben Rose at the A.D. Gallery that September. There Newman began to combine his independent work with the portraiture that had been his bread-and-butter, developing the approach for which he is best known, which came to be called "environmental portraiture," and which is so widely influential today that it might be the new standard practice. This style made Newman a distinctive contributor to publications like Life, Vanity Fair, and the New York Times Magazine, brought him… Read More

Deutscher Kunstverlag, 2009. Hardcover. Fine. NEW, ships from Hawaii -- Die Skulpturen des Bildhauers Aristide Maillol galten bislang meist als Paradefall einer gelungenen Verbindung klassischer und moderner Formlösungen, als Sinnbilder eines überzeitlichen Körperideals. Maillols Inszenierung des weiblichen Körpers führt jedoch in ein anderes, politisches Bezugsfeld visueller Kultur der Moderne: Die Entstehungsgeschichte der Ethnographie. Deren Methoden der Beschreibung, psychologischen Einordnung und musealen Inszenierung von Artefakten etablierten sich im engen Austausch mit Künstlern, Kunstkritik und Kunstwissenschaft. Die detaillierte Analyse der Skulpturen Maillols und ihrer Rezeption in Deutschland und Frankreich zwischen 1890 und 1937 lässt erkennen, wie weitgehend sein Werk Teil des modernen ästhetischen Diskurses um das Fremde war. Zwischen Artefakt, Fetisch und Denkmal lieferten Maillols weibliche Akte fassbare Vorgaben für ein universal gedachtes französisches Identitätsmodell.

Collapsible and compact, made to be carried on the march and assembled on site, these folding chairs, desks, and cots-used by armies since ancient times-reached an aesthetic apex in 18th- and 19th-century England.

In the first-ever book on the subject, Nicholas A. Brawer meticulously details… Read More
