Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The glorious Manifattura Lenci of Turin is the star of this volume, which presents 150 works from the important Giuseppe and Gabriella Ferrero Collection. The historic Lenci factory was founded by Enrico Scavini and his wife Elena ('Lenchen,' or 'Lenci') König in 1919, to produce toys and objects for children--including the now-collectible 'Lenci dolls.' After 1927 the business began to focus on making little figurines and decorative objects like vases, boxes and ornaments in glazed ceramics. The firm made designs inspired by the fashions of the moment, and their objects quickly became status symbols for the interwar Italian bourgeoisie. Bringing in Turinese artists like Sandro Vacchetti, Marcello Dudovich, Gigi Chessa, Mario Sturani and Abele Jacopi to contribute designs, the Lenci factory produced a range of unique, inimitable ceramics that showcased the taste of an era and a society.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Legendary Belgian artist Pierre Alechinsky (born 1927), originally trained in printing and etching, is best known for his work as a painter, associated with European Tachisme and the Cobra group. Pierre Alechinsky: Marginalia highlights an aspect of the artist's work that is perhaps less familiar: his long-standing interest in the illustrated book. This fascination has fed Alechinsky's collaborative projects with writers and his incorporation of 'marginal remarks' into his own monumental paintings over many years. Maintaining a deep engagement with the written word in literary and painting contexts, Alechinsky has worked with writers such as André Breton, Eugene Ionesco, Christian Dotremont, Roger Caillois, Hélène Cixous, Joyce Mansour, Michel Butor, Hugo Claus, E.M. Cioran, Marcel Moreau, Pierre-Andre Benoit and Roland Topor. Pierre Alechinsky: Marginalia presents Alechinsky in three characteristic modes--as reader, illustrator and artist.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This book reveals the extraordinary artistic relationship between Italian artists Canaletto (1697-1768) and Bernardo Bellotto (1722-80).Bellotto was Canaletto's nephew and assistant, and an adept pupil--he picked up his uncle's teachings so well that he sometimes signed his work as 'Bellotto de Canaletto' and traded on the illustrious name, particularly after he settled in northern Europe in 1747.Canaletto, famous for his precisely painted views of Venice, taught Bellotto how to use a camera obscura in his painting, and both share a meticulous style. But in the course of Bellotto's travels (from Venice to Rome to Dresden, Vienna, Munich and finally Warsaw, where he remained until his death) the artist developed his own methods and interests. Favoring a cooler palette then his uncle, and interspersing his precise architectural vedute with modern landscapes and portraiture, Bellotto distinguished himself from his uncle.The recent rediscovery of the inventory of goods from Bellotto's house in Dresden--included in this volume--finally offers a key to understanding the artist's culture and personality. One of the 18th century's most restless artists, Bellotto seems ripe for rediscovery, and Bellotto and Canaletto: Wonder and Light offers a long-overdue exploration of the relationship between the artist and his famous mentor.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Imperial Threads brings a new perspective to Islamic art by exploring the connection between four major dynasties--the Ottoman (1299-1923), Timurid (1370-1507), Safavid (1501-1736) and Mughal (1526-1857) empires--that mark the start of the early modern period.(Due to the development of firearms during that period, these dynasties are commonly referred to as the 'Gunpowder Empires.')
