EL JINETE AZUL
TASCHEN BENEDIKT, 2009

Resumen del libro

Der Blaue Reiter ? Una utopía modernista El grupo artístico Der Blaue Reiter ("El jinete azul") fue formado en Munich en 1911 por iniciativa de dos creadores destacados del modernismo: Vasily Kandinsky, el pionero de la pintura abstracta pura, y Franz Marc, autor de misteriosas imágenes abstractas de animales. El ruso y el alemán, junto a muchos otros pintores visionarios de su cuerda, perseguían anhelantes un nuevo espíritu en el arte. Querían nada menos que una apoteosis de lo espiritual en el arte. El estallido de la Gran Guerra pareció dar un final brutal a lo que era en ese momento el movimiento de vanguardia más importante de Alemania, pero su influencia continuó imparable e inspiró a generaciones enteras de artistas internacionales a crear utopías similares. Artistas incluidos: Wladimir Burljuk, Heinrich Campendonk, Robert Delaunay, Alexej Jawlensky, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Alfred Kubin, August Macke, Franz Marc, Gabriele Münter and Marianne von Werefkin. ...

EDWARD HOPPER 1882-1967: TRANSFORMACIONES DE LO REAL (SERIE MENOR )
TASCHEN BENEDIKT, 1999

Resumen del libro

Edward Hopper, painter of the loneliness of big-city people Edward Hopper (1882-1967) is considered the first important American painter in twentieth-century art. After decades of patient work, Hopper enjoyed a success and popularity that since the 1950s has continually grown. In canvas after canvas he painted the lonelines s of big-city people. Many of Hopper's pictures represent views of streets and roads, rooftops, and abandoned houses, depicted in a brilliant light that strangely belies the melancholy mood of the scenes. Hopper's paintings are marked by striking juxtapositions of color, and by the clear contours with which the figures are demarcated from their surroundings. His extremely precise focus on the theme of modern men and women in the natural and man-made environment sometimes lends his pictures a mood of eerie disquiet. On the other hand, Hopper's renderings of rocky landscapes in warm brown hues, or his depictions of the seacoast, exude an unusual tranquillity that reveals another, more optimistic side of his character. About the Series: Every book in TASCHEN's Basic Art Series features: a detailed chronological summary of the artist's life and work, covering the cultural and historical importance of the artist approximately 100 color illustrations with explanatory captions a concise biography ...

MARC (SERIE MENOR)
TASCHEN BENEDIKT, 2001

Resumen del libro

La popularidad de Franz Marc se debe, aún hoy en día, principalmente a sus representaciones de animales. La desaparecida Torre de los caballos azules rivaliza en popularidad con los cuadros de flores de Emil Nolde. Pero, en contraposición con éste, que siguió pintando hasta una edad muy avanzada, el tiempo en el que Marc cr eó sus cuadros más conocidos se limitó a apenas cuatro años. Diez años fueron necesarios para que evolucionara de la pintura tradicional de la Academia de Munich, pasando por diversas tendencias estilísticas, al lenguaje formal que cristalizaría en su estilo personal. ...

PRERRAFAELITAS
TASCHEN BENEDIKT, 2010

Resumen del libro

Prerrafaelitas. A veces considerados el primer movimiento artístico de vanguardia, los prerrafaelitas rechazaron las teorías artísticas dominantes en su época por lo que vieron como una aproximación personal más espiritual, naturalista e intensa. Fascinado por los aspectos románticos de la cultura medieval y los colores viv aces, como joyas, del arte del Cuatrocientos, el movimiento aborreció las poses y la composición clásicas de Rafael y aquellos en quienes influyó —de ahí el nombre del grupo— y la influencia de sir Joshua Reynolds. Fundado en 1848 por William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais y Dante Gabriel Rossetti, a los prerrafaelitas originales se sumaron William Michael Rossetti, James Collinson, Frederic George Stephens y Thomas Woolner para formar una "fraternidad" de siete miembros. Su influencia en muchos artistas británicos posteriores fue considerable, y hoy la obra de Rossetti es vista como precursora del más amplio movimiento simbolista europeo. Este libro examina el surgimiento, desarrollo, influencia y subsiguiente desaparición del grupo. ... Leer resumen completo

TOULOUSE-LAUTREC (SERIE MENOR)
TASCHEN BENEDIKT, 2000

Resumen del libro

Today, the painter and graphic artist Henri Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901) is considered as one of the most inspired portrayers of human figures. This physically handicapped scion of the old French nobility was fascinated by life around Montmartre, whose cafes, cabarets, dance halls, and bordellos presented him with the "thea tre of life." More than any other artist, Toulouse-Lautrec captured the belle époque's pursuit of fleeting pleasure: directly and without flattery, his paintings, lithographs, and posters offer a masterly and timeless image of the age. ...

FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT (SERIE MENOR)
TASCHEN BENEDIKT, 2004

Resumen del libro

"The interior space itself is the reality of the building." - Frank Lloyd Wright. Widely thought to be the greatest American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) was a true pioneer, both artistically and technically. At a time when reinforced concrete and steel were considered industrial building materials, Wright bold ly made use of them to build private homes. His prairie house concept—that of a low, sprawling home based upon a simple L or T figure—was the driving force behind some of his most famous houses and became a model for rural architecture across America. Wright`s designs for office and public buildings were equally groundbreaking and unique. From Fallingwater to New York`s Guggenheim Museum, his works are among the most famous in the history of architecture. ... Leer resumen completo

EDGAR DEGAS 1834-1917 (SERIE MENOR)
BERND GROWE
TASCHEN BENEDIKT, 2001

Resumen del libro

Dancers always remained Degas's favorite theme "No art could be less spontaneous than mine. Inspiration, spontaneity, temperament are unknown to me. One has to do the same subject ten times, even a hundred times over. In art, nothing should look like chance, not even movement." Edgar Degas In terms of both theme and techniq ue, the key to understanding the early work of Edgar Degas (1834-1917) is classical painting. Although he was eventually associated with the Impressionists and even participated in their joint exhibitions, Degas never adopted a purely Impressionist approach. Degas's work, reflecting an extremely personal and psychological perspective, emphasizes the scenic or concentrates on the detail. Thus, Degas's painting is often discussed with reference to the rise of short-exposure photography. Thematically, nature proved less interesting to the artist than the life and inhabitants of the modern metropolis. Degas primarily sought his motifs in ballet salons, at the race track or circus, or in bedrooms - but dancers always remained his favorite theme.

IMPRESIONISMO (SERIE MENOR)
TASCHEN BENEDIKT, 2007

Resumen del libro

On April 15th, 1874, in the Parisian studio of photographer Nadar, was the opening of the first group exhibition that was uninhibited by government interference and the dictates of an official selection committee. This date has gone down in the annals of art history because it marks the birth of the Impressionism. Impressio nistic paintings now rank among the most popular works of art and are the pride of any museum or collection worldwide. However, in 1874 the public response to the exhibition, and to Impressionist painting, was not adoration but rather shock and even outrage. The Impressionists and the succeeding Neo-Impressionists were avant-gardist and revolutionary, paving the way for modern art. Present-day viewers, hardly realizing this revolutionary potential, can be content to enjoy the aesthetic of light and color. Artists featured in detail: Frederic Bazille, Marie Braquemond, Gustave Caillebotte, Mary Cassat, Edgar Degas, Vincent van Gogh, Armand Guillaumin, Max Liebermann, Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, Guiseppe de Nittis, Camille Pissarro, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Medardo Rosso, Giovanni Segantini, John Singer Sargent, Georges Seurat, Paul Signac, Walter Richard Sickert, Alfred Sisley, Max Slevogt, Fritz von Uhde, Federico Zandomeneghi ...

NATURALEZA MUERTA
TASCHEN BENEDIKT, 2008

Resumen del libro

Objects frozen in time Setting up a still life may take no more than gathering a few objects on a table, but infusing its depiction with depth, texture, feeling, and even beauty takes great skill. The origins of the still life can be traced back at least to classical antiquity (such wall paintings have been found in the rui ns of Pompeii) but the genre's name wasn't coined until the 17th century in Holland, a few centuries after it was re-popularized during the Renaissance. This book explores a stimulating selection of still lifes from the 15th century to the modern day, revealing the historical importance and creative possibilities of this genre. Featured artists: Meister der Maria von Burgund, Ludger tom Ring the Younger, Annibale Carracci, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, Juan Sánchez Cotán, Jan Bruegel the Elder, Frans Snyders, Pieter Claesz Rembrandt, Sebastian Stoskopff, Jan Fyt, Evaristo Baschenis, Jan Davidsz de Heem, Willem Kalf, Otto Marseus van Schrieck, Giuseppe Maria Crespi, Jean-Siméon Chardin, Luis Eugenio Meléndez, Théodore Géricault, Eugène Delacroix, Adolph Menzel, Edouard Manet, Vincent van Gogh, John Haberle, Paul Cézanne, Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Henri Matisse, Umberto Boccioni, Giorgio De Chirico, Giorgio Morandi, Chaïm Soutine, Salvador Dalí, Daniel Spoerri, and Gerhard Richter ...

SCHIELE (SERIE MENOR)
TASCHEN BENEDIKT, 1999

Resumen del libro

Egon Schiele (1890-1918) - along with Oskar Kokoschka - is the painter who had the most long-lasting influence on the Vienna art scene after the great era of Klimt came to a close. After a short flirtation with Klimt's style, Schiele soon questioned the aesthetic orientation to the beautiful surface of the Viennese Art Nouv eau with his rough and not easily accessible paintings. Many contemporaries found Schiele's expressive nudes and self-portraits, with their strange movements and morbid colours, to be ugly and even morally objectionable--criticism which culminated in criminalizing the painter as 'obscene' and resulted in 1912 in an indictment and short jail sentence. However, not even his harshest critics could dispute the artist's extraordinary drawing talent.

Through the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, World War II, the 1950s and 60s, Rockwell illustrations were a part of daily life, showing, as he once said, "the America I knew and observed to others who might not have noticed." ...

A través de este libro podemos descubrir el land art , corriente artística surgida a finales de los años sesenta que tiene como fin trasladar el trabajo artístico a los espacios naturales, los cuales son transformados por el pensamiento y la acción del artista. El land art se encuentra dentro de esas corrientes que en relac ión con la desmaterialización del objeto, niegan el papel preponderante de los museos y galerías desviando la práctica del arte a lugares inéditos hasta su aparición. Este movimiento que utiliza el propio espacio natural como soporte de la obra surge primero en los Estados Unidos a finales de los años sesenta. Los artistas del land art llevan acabo toda una serie de manipulaciones y transformaciones sobre el paisaje. Generalmente las piezas adquieren grandísimas dimensiones y su presentación en las galerías se hace a través de una documentación de fotografías, videos o textos. ... Leer resumen completo

The art of ancient Egypt that has been handed down to us bears no names of its creators, and yet we value the creations of these unknown masters no less than the works of later centuries, such as statues by Michelangelo or the paintings by Leonardo da Vinci. The present volume introduces a series of such masterpieces, rangi ng from the Old Kingdom, or the 3rd millennium B.C., to the Late Period in the 9th century B.C. The works in question are sculptures, reliefs, sarcophagi, murals, masks, and decorative items, most of them now in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, but some occupying places of honor as part of the world cultural heritage in museums such as the Louvre in Paris, the British Museum in London, the Egyptian Museum in Berlin and the Metropolitan Museum in New York. ...
