Van Gogh - The Complete Paintings

Marc Chagall

Chagall

The amazing work of a tormented soul Vincent van Gogh's story is one of the most ironic in art history. He lived an unhappy and difficult life during which his work received almost no appreciation—finally killing himself by a bullet to the chest, so great was his despair—and is now widely considered one of the most important painters of all time, his works fetching record prices of tens of millions of dollars at auction. This comprehensive study of Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) represents a rarity in art history: a detailed monograph on his life and art combined with a complete catalogue of his 871 paintings. These volumes also reproduce most of Van Gogh's paintings in color.

Van Gogh. Tutti i dipinti

Today he is universally seen as one of the great forerunners of 20th century painting, and one of the tragic masters of art.

1853-1890

Chagall is widely regarded as epitomizing the "painter as poetO and his paintings, steeped in mythology and mysticism, portray colorful dreams and tales that are deeply rooted in his Russian Jewish origins.

Drawings and Watercolours

Städte haben Konjunktur. Sie verkörpern die Maximalisierung des Lebens. In Städten entstehen die Trends, die Moden, die Stile und die Konzepte der Veränderung. Sie sind vielfältig und vielschichtig. Sie sind synonym mit Zivilisation. In zwölf Kapiteln heftet sich der Autor an die Fersen von ausgesuchten Städtern, die als Baedeker durch die jeweils ganz besondere Phase im Leben einer bestimmten Metropole führen. Die Reiseführer heißen u.a. Sokrates und Horaz, Augustinus und Dürer, Mascha Kaleko und Lina Bo Bardi; die Kultur- und Zivilisationsgeschichte führt von der Geburt der Demokratie in Athen über die Gottesstädte des Monotheismus der späten Antike zur Entstehung von Gotik und Universität im mittelalterlichen Paris und ins Katastrophenjahr 1666 nach London. Mozart scheitert an der feinen Gesellschaft in Wien um 1790 und Manet führt im Paris des zweiten Kaiserreichs vor, was Modernität meint; gegen Armut und Verelendung engagiert sich Jacob Riis in New York um 1900; Mascha Kaleko wiederum erlebt in Berlin um 1930 das Phänomen der Massenkultur. Anhand von Bodys Isek Kingelez' Kinshasa schließlich lässt sich das Prinzip der Mega-Städte begreifen, der Global und der Arrival City, die Landflucht und Ungebrochenheit der Hoffnung auf ein besseres Leben in der Stadt.

Vom antiken Athen bis zu den Megacitys

Die Stadt

"Made in Germany offers a comprehensive survey of contemporary art in Germany. At its core are fifty-two young artists living and working in Germany, about half of whom are from abroad and all of whom are among the promising newcomers of the international art scene. In looking at questions of artistic identity, Made in Germany no longer simply considers the birthplace and biography of the artists, but also the context of where the work itself is produced. This is the first time that modern German art has been clearly examined to this great an extent as a weave of national particularities and cultural exchange." "This volume provides concise insights into the complete oeuvres of all the artists, as well as an informative comparison of the individual artists and each of their different regional and biographical contexts."--BOOK JACKET.
