  • EROTISCHE KUNST AUS ASIEN
    EROTISCHE KUNST AUS ASIEN
    HANS-JURGEN DOPP
    Mit Ingres' Türkischem Bad von 1863 ist die Frau des Ostens für viele im Westen zu einem Symbol für eine nie erreichbare, verbotene Lust geworden. Seereisende, Abenteurer und einfache Wanderer aus Europa sind über Jahrhunderte dem exotischen Reiz der asiatischen Frau verfallen; ihrer angenehmen Andersartigkeit, der sanften Blässe ihrer Haut. So kam der Mythos auf, dass sie, vor...

  • TIERGEMÄLDE
    TIERGEMÄLDE
    JOHN BASCOM
    Seit Urzeiten ist die Tierwelt ein schier unerschöpflicher Fundus an Inspiration für den Künstler, der sich mit der Natur und ihren Kindern befasst. Die künstlerische Wahrnehmung des Tieres hat sich über die Jahrtausende maßgeblich verändert. Die Faszination der frühen Höhlenmaler wich bald der Liebe für das domestizierte Tier, die wiederum von einer in der Renaissance aufkomme...

  • MUNCH
    MUNCH
    Elisabeth Ingles
    Der Name Edvard Munch ruft bei den meisten Menschen eine bestimmte visuelle Assoziation hervor: Ein schädelhaftes Gesicht, angstverzerrt, einen stummen, durchdringenden Schrei des Grauens ausstoßend, während im Hintergrund eine feurige, blutrote Sonne untergeht. Der Schrei hat sich im letzten Jahrhundert zu einem ikonischen Sinnbild für die Existenzangst des modernen Menschen...

    SERGEI DANIEL
    Claude Lorrain (1600-1682), einer der talentiertesten Landschaftsmaler seiner Zeit, ist auch unter dem Namen Claude Gellée oder einfach nur Claude bekannt.

    PIETER BRUEGEL
    VICTORIA CHARLES / François Émile Michel
    Pieter Brueghel was the first important member of a family of artists who were active for four generations. Firstly a drawer before becoming a painter later, he painted religious themes, such as Babel Tower, with very bright colours. Influenced by Hieronymus Bosch, he painted large, complex scenes of peasant life and scripture or spiritual allegories, often with crowds of subje...

  • FORBIDDEN ASIA
    FORBIDDEN ASIA
    HANS-JURGEN DOPP
    Since The Turkish Baths (1863) by the French painter Ingres, the Far Eastern woman has, to many, been a symbol of out of reach or forbidden pleasures. Seafaring explorers, military adventurers and simple travellers from Europe over the centuries have all been enthralled by the exotic nature of the Asian woman, her foreignness accentuated by the gentle pallor of her skin. Thus ...

    DÜRER
    VICTORIA CHARLES
    Dürer is the greatest of German artists and most representative of the German mind. He, like Leonardo, was a man of striking physical attractiveness, great charm of manner and conversation, and mental accomplishment, being well grounded in the sciences and mathematics of the day. His skill in draughtsmanship was extraordinary; Dürer is even more celebrated for his engravings on...

    EROTIC DRAWINGS
    VICTORIA CHARLES
    From Michelangelo to Rubens, Degas and Picasso, erotic art has attracted many great masters, who created works that captivate the beholder like few others. In spite of, or maybe even because of, this attraction, erotic art has never failed to evoke controversy, and regularly had to defend itself from charges of pornography. This book guides readers from early portrayals of erot...

  • GOYA
    GOYA
    JP. A. CALOSSE
    Goya is perhaps the most approachable of painters. His art, like his life, is an open book. He concealed nothing from his contemporaries, and offered his art to them with the same frankness. The entrance to his world is not barricaded with technical difficulties. He proved that if a man has the capacity to live and multiply his experiences, to fight and work, he can produce gre...

    KIRCHNER
    KLAUS CARL
    The self-appointed leader of the artists group Die Brücke (Bridge), founded in Dresden in 1905, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner was a key figure in the early development of German Expressionism. His first works show the influence of Impressionism, Post-impressionism and Jugendstil, but by about 1909, Kirchner was painting in a distinctive, expressive manner with bold, loose brushwork,...

    LEMPICKA
    PATRICK BADE
    The smoothly metallic portraits, nudes and still lifes of Tamara de Lempicka encapsulate the spirit of Art Deco and the Jazz Age, and reflect the elegant and hedonistic life-style of a wealthy, glamorous and privileged elite in Paris between the two World Wars. Combining a formidable classical technique with elements borrowed from Cubism, Lempicka s art represented the ultimate...

  • MANET
    MANET
    Natalia Brodskaya
    Manet is one of the most famous artists from the second half of the nineteenth century linked to the impressionists, although he was not really one of them. He had great influence on French painting partly because of the choice he made for his subjects from everyday life, the use of pure colours, and his fast and free technique. He made, in his own work, the transition between ...

    NAÏVE ART
    Natalia Brodskaya
    Until the end of the 19th century Naïve Art, created by untrained artists and characterised by spontaneity and simplicity, enjoyed little recognition from professional artists and art critics. Naïve painting is often distinguished by its clarity of line, vivacity and joyful colours, as well as by its rather clean-cut, simple shapes, as represented by French artists such as Henr...

    JP. A. CALOSSE
    Just as there is a fundamental difference in the use of the words naked and nude , the unclothed body can evoke a feeling of delight or shame, serving as a symbol of contradictory concepts beauty and indecency. This book is devoted to representations of the nude by great artists from antiquity and the Italian Renaissance to French Impressionism and contemporary art; from B...

    JMW Turner was a prolific master born to a barber in Covent Garden, London, in 1775. When he died in 1851, he left over 19,000 artworks. Selecting which to include in this book was a major feat in itself. Turner was a Romantic when it came to landscapes, with an inimitable flair for seascapes, and was a pioneer of new techniques for creating tone and hue, deeply impressed by Go...

    PATRICK BADE
    Ornans, Courbet s birthplace, is near the beautiful valley of the Doubs River, and it was here as a boy, and later as a man, that he absorbed the love of landscape. He was by nature a revolutionary, a man born to oppose existing order and to assert his independence; he had that quality of bluster and brutality which makes the revolutionary count in art as well as in politics. I...

    Behind Frida Kahlo s portraits, lies the story of both her life and work. It is precisely this combination that draws the reader in. Frida s work is a record of her life, and rarely can we learn so much about an artist from what she records inside the picture frame. Frida Kahlo truly is Mexico s gift to the history of art.

    EUGÈNE MÜNTZ
    Michelangelo, like Leonardo, was a man of many talents; sculptor, architect, painter and poet, he made the apotheosis of muscular movement, which to him was the physical manifestation of passion. He moulded his draughtsmanship, bent it, twisted it, and stretched it to the extreme limits of possibility. There are not any landscapes in Michelangelo's painting. All the emotions, a...

The three masters of Ukiyo-e, Hokusai, Utamaro and Hiroshige, are united here for the first time to create a true reference on Japanese art. The three masters rank highly among the most famous J...

    Egon Schiele (1890 1918) is one of the great Expressionist painters. He was taught by Gustav Klimt and, at a very early age, like his Viennese Secession predecessors, broke with the traditions of official Austrian art. His numerous self-portraits and nude models remained consistent throughout his career and reflected his erotic, sensual and tormented vision of art. This title p...

    War Leonardos deutliche Berufung zur wissenschaftlichen Forschung eine Hilfe oder ein Hindernis für seine Arbeit als Künstler? Er wird gewöhnlich als ein Beispiel für die Möglichkeit eines Bündnisses von Kunst und Wissenschaft angeführt. In ihm, so heißt es zumeist, erhielt das schöpferische Genie durch die analytische Fähigkeit zusätzlichen Antrieb; der Verstand verstärkte die...
