2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Freud`s Foes, the latest title in the Polemics series, addresses Freud`s fiercest contemporary critics. The book defends psychoanalysis (while accepting that it has inherent flaws) and argues that although today`s foes pose as daring savants, they are only the latest wave of critiques that psychoanalysis has encountered since its controversial birth and their arguments are easily debunked.

Brenda Maddox
Freud`s Wizard: Ernest Jones and the Transformation of Psychoanalysis

2007 y.
Publisher: Da Capo
Description: The saturation of the English-speaking world with Freudian psychoanalytic concepts was due largely to one brilliant analyst, Ernest Jones. As Freud`s disciple, colleague, biographer, and empire builder, he led the international psychoanalytic movement and moved its vortex from Vienna to London, and its influence to Toronto, New York, and Boston. While negotiating the ferocious politics and rivalry of the movement, Jones also managed an imposing series of liaisons that included an heiress and her maid, analysands, and a `Druid Bride.` Jones, unlike Freud, never had to wonder `what do women want?` From Jones`s first encounter with Freud`s writings as a medical student to the eve of World War II, when he orchestrated the master`s escape to London a hairsbreadth away from the death camps, Maddox lays bare a dark and creative era, and a colorfully flawed but powerfully influential man.

It also tells the many stories of Freud`s women and explores their influence on him and his on them: dutiful daughter Anna, who carried on his work, the novelist and turn-of-the-century femme fatale, Lou Salome, Marie Bonaparte, who mixed royalty and perversity with effortless ease and became the head of the French psychoanalytic movement, the early hysterics who were the cornerstone of psychoanalysis—all these and more emerge vividly from the pages of this important study as it assesses Freud`s contemporary legacy.

Frey

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In 1930, when Albert Frey came to the US from his native Switzerland, he brought the influence of his mentor, Le Corbusier, with him. The innovative Aluminaire House that he developed together with A.L.Kocher was exhibited in 1932 by Henry-Russell Hitchcock and Philip Johnson in the legendary show in the Museum of Modern Art in New York `The International Style: Architecture since 1922` as one of the very few American examples of the movement. Soon after, Frey discovered the California desert, where he would settle and complete his most substantial works. Throughout his life, Frey was interested in finding new ways of building, as well as working with and doing research on prefabricated materials, the results of which he regularly published. With visionary talent, Frey built elegant, clearly structured residential houses and was the founder of the `desert modernism` style. Издание на английском языке. Формат: 18,5 см х 23 см.

Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing
Friction: An Ethnography of Global Connection

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A wheel turns because of its encounter with the surface of the road, spinning in the air it goes nowhere. Rubbing two sticks together produces heat and light, one stick alone is just a stick. In both cases, it is friction that produces movement, action, effect. Challenging the widespread view that globalization invariably signifies a `clash` of cultures, anthropologist Anna Tsing here develops friction in its place as a metaphor for the diverse and conflicting social interactions that make up our contemporary world. She focuses on one particular `zone of awkward engagement`--the rainforests of Indonesia--where in the 1980s and the 1990s capitalist interests increasingly reshaped the landscape not so much through corporate design as through awkward chains of legal and illegal entrepreneurs that wrested the land from previous claimants, creating resources for distant markets. In response, environmental movements arose to defend the rainforests and the communities of people who… [detailed...]

Frida Kahlo: Portraits of an Icon

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionFrom 1926 until her death in 1954, Mexican painter Frida Kahlo created striking, often shocking, images that reflected her turbulent life. One of four daughters born to a Hungarian-Jewish father and a mother of Spanish and Mexican Indian descent, in the Mexico City suburb of Coyoacan, Kahlo did not originally plan to become an artist. During her convalescence from a bus accident in her late teens, Kahlo began to paint with oils. Her pictures, mostly self-portraits and still-lifes, were deliberately naive, filled with the bright colors and flattened forms of the Mexican folk art she loved. At 21, Kahlo fell in love with the Mexican muralist Diego Rivera, their stormy, passionate relationship survived infidelities, the pressures of Rivera`s career, a divorce and remarriage, and Kahlo`s poor health. The couple traveled to the United States and France, where Kahlo met luminaries from the worlds of art and politics. She had her first solo exhibition at the Julien Levy… [detailed...]

Frida Kahlo

2008 y.
Publisher: Editorial RM
Description: During the summer of 2007, the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City hosted the most complete exhibition ever of the work of Frida Kahlo. Marking the centenary of Kahlo`s birth, the Palacio showed 354 works, including 64 oil paintings, both beloved and virtually unknown, 45 drawings, 11 watercolors, 5 etchings, plus scores of letters, photographs and other personal ephemera. It was a labor of love, as well as a loving gesture, for Mexico`s greatest artistic ambassador. It was also timely, Kahlo is in the air again, as young contemporary artists revisit and recast psychoanalytic, neo-Surrealistic figuration. In 1953, when Frida Kahlo had her first solo exhibition in Mexico - the only one held in her native country during her lifetime - one critic wrote: `It is impossible to separate the life and work of this extraordinary person. Her paintings are her biography`. Kahlo herself puts it better: `They thought I was a Surrealist, but I wasn`t. I never painted dreams. I painted my… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: Writing about The Museum of Modern Art, New York`s monumental and critically acclaimed 2005 Lee Friedlander retrospective, Richard Lacayo of Time magazine said: `If a sophisticated notion of what a picture can look like, the continuous construction of new avenues of feeling, and sheer, sustained inventiveness are the measures we go by, then Friedlander is one of the most important American artists of any kind since World War II Friedlander loves the muchness of the world. He loves the haphazard multitude of things that can pop up in every picture--street signs, sunbeams, bits of roofline, a jagged shadow--all colliding and contradicting one another. In his breezy but very acute introduction to the show`s catalogue, Peter Galassi, MoMA`s Chief Curator of Photography, gets it just right when he says some of Friedlander`s pictures give you the impression that `the physical world had been broken into fragments and reconstituted under pressure at three times its original density.``Now… [detailed...]

Also included are letters, diary entries, and photographs that chronicle the New York cultural environment in which Kiesler lived and worked, and provide rarely documented insight into the role he played in the contemporary design scene. Shortly after emigrating to New York in 1925, Kiesler became an important mediator between European and American positions in the fields of design and architecture. In the following years, he designed furniture and exhibitions, and articulated the fundamental principles of a critical theory of functional architecture and design. Concepts that are being thoughtfully revisited by today`s designers--flexibility, dynamism, and multifunctionality--were constant elements in Kiesler`s theoretical constructs, as evidenced in… [detailed...]

Friedrich Kiesler: Endless House 1947-1961

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionFriedrich Kiesler was an architect, artist, designer, set designer and theoretician. His was the vision of a radically new concept for the interior: the idea of a polydimensional living space, an organically shaped continuum blending colors, forms and light with magical-mythical ideas to create an individual microcosm. Begun in the 1930s, his biomorphic design for an Endless House was based on this vision. It was to serve as his life-long dream and, though never realized, it neverthelessexerted a greater influence on architects and artists than have many of the built buildings of the 20th century. One of the many merits of Kiesler`s architectural concept for the Endless House is that it wedded profound artistic exploration to different academic disciplines such as psychology, the natural sciences, the social sciences and the arts. With respect to its demands on living space, Kiesler`s approach to design set the standards to which today`s ubiquitous `bubble… [detailed...]

Friedrich Kuhn (1926-1972): The Painter As Outlaw (German Edition)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Friedrich Kuhn (1926–72) was a leading painter in the Swiss pop art movement of the 1950s and ‘60s, often called the Zurich 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 Zurich, 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… [detailed...]

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Until now, Friedrich Nietzsche’s influence on the development of modern social sciences has not been well documented. This volume reconsiders some of Nietzsche’s writings on economics and the science of state and in doing so pioneers a line of research not previously available in English. Here, twelve scholars consider Nietzsche’s historical and contemporary relevance, which has ranged from the highly serious (Schumpeter writings on creative destruction) to the pop cultural (the early works of Ayn Rand). Several papers present strong evidence of Nietzsche as an influencer of modern economists, others see him more as an influencer of influencers, and one sees little influence at all. Most of the contributions refer extensively to works previous unpublished (or poorly translated) in English. The editors do not intend to present a thorough overview or definitive description of Nietzsche’s place in economics. Rather, they hope to… [detailed...]

William Vaughan
Friedrich: Art &, Ideas

2004 y.
Publisher: Phaidon
Description: Caspar David Friedrich is now recognized as a leading artist of the German Romantic movement of the early nineteenth century. He is known as the painter of images of a strange and compelling beauty: mysterious landscapes with barren trees, figures silhouetted against the evening sky, and gothic ruins in wintry mists. The meaning of these pictures has long been disputed, but William Vaughan argues that Friedrich`s aim was to convey the spiritual experience of life. For Friedrich, the contemplation of nature can lead us to understand the deeper meaning of things. In this stress on feeling, and focus on landscape, Friedrich was very much the product of his times. In this thoughtful book, William Vaughan discusses all aspects of the artist`s life and career, from his childhood as the son of a soapmaker in Pomerania, to his adulthood in Dresden, where he achieved such fame that his paintings were bought by the Prussian royal family and the Russian Tsar. Friedrich`s radical… [detailed...]
