Josef Muller-Brockmann

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Most Comprehensive Monograph on the Pioneering Swiss Graphic Designer Ever Published `A visual poet, a resourceful designer, and a pioneer in education--across all forms his creations spoke with the same unified harmony of line, color, and image. He taught discipline, clarity, honesty, and integrity through example. In a profession critically short on such values, his life and work continue to personify the ideal of a committed, humane, and conscientious designer.` Kerry William Purcell, author Josef MA?A?ller-Brockmann (1914-96) was one of the most important and prolific voices of graphic design who created many of twentieth century`s most significant and memorable posters. He was a leading practitioner and theorist of the Swiss Style, which emphasized cleanliness, readability, and objectivity. Beginning with the opening of his own studio in Zurich in 1936 and working until his death in 1996, the mark he left behind is immeasurable. JOSEF… [detailed...]

Josef Sudek: Ancient Forest of the Beskids

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The series of photographs that Joseph Sudek created in the Mionsi Forest of Morovia`s Beskid Mountains is perhaps the most classically Romantic and visually stunning body of work ever made by this important Czech photographer. In the late 1920s, while shooting the interior of Prague`s iconic Cathedral of St. Vitus during its final phase of completion, Sudek learned a great deal about light. Years later, alone, deep in the virgin forest, he lay in wait for the light that he knew would lend the ancient trees their ghostly aspect--finding graceful compositions in isolated wilderness. Photography historian Antonin Dufek penned the introduction to this volume, which is the first to present such a comprehensive set of Sudek`s photographs of the Mionsi Forest, the ruins surrounding Hukvaldy castle and the foothills of the Beskids. Josef Sudek, born in 1896 in Kolin, was a bookbinder and amateur photographer for several years before studying at the State School of Graphic Arts with Karel… [detailed...]

Joseph A. Schumpeter

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The renowned economist Joseph A. Schumpeter (1883-1950) made seminal contributions not only to economic theory but also to sociology and economic history. His work is now attracting wide attention among sociologists, as well as experiencing a remarkable revival among economists. This anthology, which serves as an excellent introduction to Schumpeter, emphasizes his broad socio-economic vision and his attempt to analyze economic reality from several different perspectives. An ambitious introductory essay by Richard Swedberg uses many new sources to enhance our understanding of Schumpeter`s life and work and to help analyze his fascinating character. This essay stresses Schumpeter`s ability to draw on several social sciences in his study of capitalism. Some of the articles in the anthology are published for the first time. The most important of these are Schumpeter`s Lowell Lectures from 1941, `An Economic Interpretation of Our Time.` Also included is the transcript of his lecture… [detailed...]

Joseph Beuys: Actions, Vitrines, Environments

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: An in-depth look at the fascinating sculptural works of one of the twentieth century`s most innovative artists. Joseph Beuys (1921-86), - the German sculptor, teacher, activist and performance artist, became one of the most influential figures in modern and contemporary art. His charismatic presence, extraordinary life, and unconventional artistic style gained him international fame and notoriety during the 1960s, `70s, and `80s. Beuys`s innovative influence is particularly felt in the field of sculpture, whose definition he expanded to encompass performance art, activism and site-specific environments. His use of unconventional materials including fat, felt, honey, blood and living trees reflected both the mythologising of his personal history and his growing political commitment. This beautifully illustrated book investigates Beuys`s sculpture, arguably the most fundamental aspect of his artistic work, as well as his extraordinary influence. [detailed...]

Joseph Cornell: Master of Dreams

2002 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Recent books on Cornell have brought new attention to the artist and increased his popularity, introducing his art to new audiences. These recent books, however, only deal with specific areas of Cornell`s oeuvre or are not illustrated. This book by Diane Waldman covers Cornell`s entire career- and it will be sought out by old and new fans of his work. Out of the fantasies that enriched a private, often reclusive life, Joseph Cornell created, in his famed shadow boxes and collages, a `poetic theater of memory` in which fables of the unconscious were played out by characters as varied as a Medici princess, a blue swan, and a supporting company of angels, parrots, and ballerinas. Using the same seemingly commonplace materials that compose the classic fairy tale and our daily lives- thimbles, eggshells, mirrors, and maps among them- Cornell beckons us into a world at once distantly magical and tantalizingly, nostalgically `home.` [detailed...]

Description: Book Description1921. There is no century, perhaps, in English history that exhibits to our sight so many contrasts as does the 17th. Every age, no doubt, is a transition age, and every age exhibits change, but the 17th century may, in a very special sense, be characterized as a time of flux. It was an age of fervent religious enthusiasm, as also an age of licentiousness and indifference to religion. It was an age of gross superstition, as also an age which the foundations of modern scientific knowledge were laid. Contents: biography, skepticism, Platonism, royal society, psychical research.

Joseph Holston: Color in Freedom: A Journey Along the Underground Railroad

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The history of the struggle for freedom from slavery cannot be told too many times. It is a vital component of America`s history, it is key in understanding American culture. In Joseph Holston`s magnificent suite of images, the story is told deeply and compellingly. His dramatic motion- and color-filled paintings contrast the brutal ugliness of slavery with the overwhelming courage of those who survived it, escaped it, and worked to end it. Holston portrays the human capacity for cruelty with stunning poignancy and the human capacity for hope with heartfelt--but measured--joy. The artist traveled the route of the Underground Railroad--the name for the system that developed to help fugitive slaves escape to the North--in preparation for creating this series. He organized the pictorial narrative like a symphony in four movements, naming each section as such: The First Movement: The Unknown World, The Second Movement: Living in Bondage: Life on the Plantation, The Third Movement:… [detailed...]

Joseph Losey (British Film Makers)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description The career of Wisconsin-born Joseph Losey spanned over four decades and several countries. A self-proclaimed Marxist and veteran of the 1930s Soviet agit-prop theater, he collaborated with Bertholt Brecht before directing noir B-pictures in Hollywood. A victim of McCarthyism, he later crossed the Atlantic to direct a series of seminal British films such as Time Without Pity , Eve , The Servant , and The Go-Between , which mark him as one of the cinema`s greatest baroque stylists. His British films reflect on exile and the outsider`s view of a class-bound society in crisis through a style rooted in the European art house tradition of Resnais and Godard. Gardner employs recent methodologies from cultural studiesand poststructural theory, exploring and clarifying the films` uneasy tension between class and gender, and their explorations of fractured temporality.

J. D. Bowers
Joseph Priestley and English Unitarianism in America

2007 y.
Publisher: Pennsylvania State University Press
Description: Many have argued that American Unitarianism originated solely from within Congregationalism and developed independent of outside influences. William Ellery Channing`s `Unitarian Christianity` sermon in 1819 was a key moment in the history of the denomination, as Channing consciously sought to define the parameters of the faith and eliminate all vestiges of competing influences. Yet the American Unitarian tradition was far more complex than its nineteenth-century adherents were willing to admit. In `Joseph Priestley and English Unitarianism in America`, J.D.Bowers reexamines its origins, course, and development and subsequently reveals the extent to which Joseph Priestley`s ideas concerning Congregational polity were recognized and established within the United States. In contrast to studies that simply trace the history of the denomination as it flows out of New England and is controlled by Bostonians, Bowers shows that Priestley`s legacy grew in importance throughout the nineteenth… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionJoseph Southall is perhaps the most important ?Arts and Crafts? painter. Born in Nottingham in 1861, Southall spent most of his life in Birmingham, where he originally trained to be an architect, before falling under the spell of John Ruskin and switching his interests to painting.

As well as superb watercolours of England, there are also scenes from the Italian lakes and Tuscany, several images of sailing barques in the harbour at Fowey in Cornwall and a number of works done at Southwold in Suffolk, where the Southalls spent every July.
