Impressionism has probably been given the most attention of any style of art in the last decades. Although it seems as if everything has already been said and shown, this book pursues a new, original path. This book writes the history of impressionism and postimpressionism from a technological perspective—using high-powered microscopes, under infra-red and ultra-violet light—that brings the readers closer to the artists. It examines some of the most famous canvases of the last century, looking for clues as to where the paintings were made, under what conditions and, in some cases, by whom. This book also explores aspects such as how the artists conveyed the quality of light at different times of the day and which conditions inspired them the most, what materials and work methods they used, where the paintings were created as well as their history. The authors have succeeded in conveying their insights in a highly readable way giving us the feeling of being pulled into the daily world of the these painters

These superb patterns, created by one of the principal founders of the British Arts and Crafts Movement, were designed for a wide number of uses.

Together with a smaller selection of full-color images, originally intended for use in wallpaper, tapestries, tiles, and other domestic accessories, the handsome motifs offer a splendid capsulation of beautiful printing and a vast storehouse of ideas for use by today's commercial artists and craftworkers.

After almost five decades of painting in the relative wilderness of San Diego, Richard Allen Morris has suddenly become a deserved art-world darling. Long admired by fellow West Coast artists like John Baldessari and East Coasters like David Reed, Morris has displayed a restless engagement with Abstract Expressionism over his long career, from early, large, blown-up-to-abstraction riffs on Giotto and Toulouse-Lautrec to his more recent, typing-paper-size works that show him to be a virtuoso colorist. One recurring motif has been guns, altered or colored or even "disarmed" of representation and often made comic by this distortion. This comprehensive collection includes essays by Baldessari and the novelist and poet Siri Hustvedt, who curated Morris's first-ever New York show in April 2004.

In the academic year 2000-2001, Yale professor and New York Citybased architect Peggy Deamer led two innovative courses: first, afocused seminar on the state of contemporary residential design;second, a creative studio offering house designs that drew on thediscoveries of the seminar. This book, the second in a seriesdocumenting work at the Yale School of Architecture, combines workfrom both courses in a thoughtful and provocative study of thestate of the house at the turn of the millennium. Deamer introduces the volume with an essay on three issues vitalto a discussion of millennial design: newness, uniqueness, anddesign innovation. Designs of visiting seminar critics -- StevenHoll, Elizabeth Diller and Ricardo Scofidio, William McDonough,LOT/EK, Winy Maas, and Jacques Herzog -- are showcased along withde*ive and analytical texts. Work from the studio course isdivided into various themes explored by the students: image,standardization and modularity, networks and diagrams. The hybridquality of this volume

"What are the words to that song?" is a common question, and trying hopelessly to remember a nagging, half-finished phrase can sometimes be enough to drive a person over the edge. It's a situation that 500 Best-Loved Song Lyrics, collected and edited by Ronald Herder, attempts to rectify. From "The Aba Daba Honeymoon" (by Arthur Fields and Walter Donovan, 1914) to "Zum Gali Gali" (Israeli work song), it covers scads of folk songs, hymns, and old-time show tunes. In the case of songs with multiple versions, Herder has chosen, as he puts it in his introduction, "the text that is most memorable, that captures the spirit of the original song the way we remembered it, that is truly 'best-loved.'" However, if the lyrics you're trying to remember are from a tune along the lines of "Proud Mary" or the theme song from the Brady Bunch, you're out of luck: in keeping with Dover Publications' standard practice, all of the included words are out of copyright, and that means they must be over 50 years old. But for Christma

For 200 years, Beethoven's symphonies have been at the core of the classical repertoire, and they remain among the most important works of art in any medium. They embody the composer's innovative notion of the symphonic ideal. Although classical in structure, the symphonies possess a psychological element that makes them the quintessence of Romanticism. These elegant four-hand versions of Beethoven's masterpieces have long been favorites of duet performers.This volume brings his final four symphonies to the hands of pianists in faithful, satisfying arrangements suitable for performance or study.

Rauschenberg has been so prolific that few critics have a handleon his vast output or the sensibility and ideas behind it. Enterintrepid art historian Mattison, who observes Rauschenberg hard atwork in his enormous, immaculate, high-tech Florida studio, wherethis master of intuition and spontaneity, who is actually asorganized and efficient as an emergency room physician, works witha crew of energetic assistants at a breathless pace. Collaborationsand an atmosphere conducive to the unexpected are crucial toRauschenberg's "unfettered creativity," Mattison realizes, and thejuxtaposition of seemingly unrelated images that characterizeRauschenberg's work reflects his keen interest in the flux andmultifariousness of life. Mattison also analyzes Rauschenberg's20-year collaboration with choreographer Trisha Brown, parsesRauschenberg's attunement to urban life and fascination with spaceexploration, ponders the aesthetic implications of the artist'sdyslexia, and chronicles Rauschenberg's wildly ambitious and highlyco

The End of Print is the definitive statement of the work of the great iconoclast designer, David Carson. In print for the first time in several years, this classic book has itself become part of the history of graphic design. It features work from the magazines where Carson first made his mark including Transworld Skateboarding, Surfer, Beach Culture and Ray Gun as well as his instantly recognizable advertisements for clients such as Nike, Pepsi, MTV and Sony. Lewis Blackwells text includes an interview in which Carson examines the origins of his approach and discusses the extreme reactions to his work.

Friedrich Kuhn (1926–72) was a leading painter in the Swiss pop art movement of the 1950s and ‘60s, often called the Zürich School of the Little Mad World. Kuhn’s unusual work showcases his desire to create an individual style of painting that lies between figurative and abstract, while being laced with idiosyncratic references to modern and popular culture. Kuhn’s personality as a raucous maverick has often overshadowed serious interpretations of his work; Friedrich Kuhn allows us for the first time to consider both the legend and the art in context. Designed to accompany a vast retrospective exhibition of Kuhn’s work at the Kunsthaus Zürich, this richly illustrated book reassesses Kuhn’s paintings as early ambassadors of Swiss art that prefigured trends that continue to shape the international art world today. Including many previously unpublished paintings and photographs of Kuhn’s art and performances, the book also presents new essays investigating his work and the myths surrounding

Often regarded as the last great composer in the Austro-Germanic tradition, Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) exerted a major influence on 20th-century music; his later work in particular affected the musical ideas of such composers as Arnold Schoenberg, Dimitri Shostakovich, Alban Berg and Benjamin Britten. While his mature work foreshadowed radical elements of modern music--particularly the dissolution of tonality--Mahler's first symphonies were written in are latively traditional programmatic style with a strong spiritual element. These early works are seen by some critics as attempting to "establish some ultimate ground for existence in the face of pain, death, doubt and despair." The composer's spiritual quest, as well as the vivid orchestration, innovative symphonic structure and rich emotional expression that characterized his music can be clearly studied and appreciated in this volume, which contains complete scores of Mahler's first two symphonies: Symphony No. I in D Major ("Titan") Symphony
