Mark Rothko
The Artist`s Reality: Philosophies of Art

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: One of the most important artists of the twentieth century, Mark Rothko (1903–1970) created a new and impassioned form of abstract painting over the course of his career. Rothko also wrote a number of essays and critical reviews during his lifetime, adding his thoughtful, intelligent, and opinionated voice to the debates of the contemporary art world. Although the artist never published a book of his varied and complex views, his heirs indicate that he occasionally spoke of the existence of such a manuscript to friends and colleagues. Stored in a New York City warehouse since the artist’s death more than thirty years ago, this extraordinary manuscript, titled The Artist’s Reality, is now being published for the first time. Probably written around 1940–41, this revelatory book discusses Rothko’s ideas on the modern art world, art history, myth, beauty, the challenges of being an artist in society, the true nature of “American… [detailed...]

The Arts &, Crafts Companion

2008 y.
Publisher: Thames and Hudson
Description: The Arts and Crafts Movement was enthusiastically embraced by the many architects and designers who had become disenchanted with the results of the mass production of the mid-nineteenth century, and its instantly recognizable style left a legacy of design that remains influential to this day. This essential companion identifies the origins of the movement and celebrates the inspiration of its founder William Morris - craftsman, poet and social reformer. The achievements of such key exponents as Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Frank Lloyd Wright and Gustav Stickley are considered in detail and the distinguishing characteristics of each designer`s contribution thoroughly analysed. There are comprehensive chapters on all aspects of Arts and Crafts style, including architecture, interiors, furniture, textiles, glass, ceramics, metalwork, printing and gardens. Illustrated with 300 meticulously researched images, this is a rich and invaluable general survey and an important work of… [detailed...]

The Arts &, Crafts Movement in Europe &, America

2004 y.
Publisher: Thames and Hudson
Description: At the turn of the last century, the Arts and Crafts movement transformed not only how objects looked but also how people looked at objects. It provided a framework for essential issues that are still debated today, such as the conflict between standardization and individuality, or the problem of defining what kind of design most benefits society. As the most industrialized country, Britain was also the first to generate a movement to counter what was seen as the malevolent effects of mass production. Protagonists such as John Ruskin and William Morris championed `joy in labour` - the moral and spiritual uplift that would come with the revival of making objects by hand. The improvement of working conditions, integration of art into everyday life, and an `honest` aesthetic resulting from the use of indigenous materials and native traditions were also central to the movement`s philosophy. At the end of the 19th century, these Arts and Crafts ideals were appropriated and adapted by… [detailed...]

Rosalind P. Blakesley
The Arts &, Crafts Movement

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Dating from the 1850s to the First World War, the Arts and Crafts Movement was an international phenomenon of enormous scope and influence. It encompassed everything from architecture to town planning, metalwork and embroidery, in places as diverse as California and Budapest. Born of thinkers and practitioners in Victorian England its ideological currents reflect the era`s most pressing social, political and artistic concerns. In this book Rosalind Blakesley explores the common ideas that give cohesion to a movement of otherwise bewildering breadth and stylistic heterogeneity. At the origins of the movement was a reaction against industrialization, the long-standing division between traditional crafts and Fine Art and the over-elaborate ornamentation which disguised an object or building`s true `function`.Early British Arts and Crafts practitioners campaigned for a revival of old craft techniques, for the elevation of the applied arts and for `honesty` in design, ideas that were… [detailed...]

The Arts of Asia: Materials, Techniques, Styles

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description The first book to analyze and survey the extraordinary arts of this vast region by material. Throughout history, the beauty and value of the arts of Asia have been derived largely from the exquisite quality of the natural materials from which they are crafted. Materials have spiritual significance in the Asian cultures that use them, and the art is often born from that significance. For instance, jade, because of its hardness and durability, has long been associated with immortality in China, while bamboo, which bends and sways in the strongest winds, symbolizes flexibility in East Asian cultures. Many of the materials that are most often used in Asia were actually discovered, invented, or first worked there, and theypervade every aspect of life?practical, religious, and artistic. Often materials are not what they seem to a Western eye. `Rice` paper is made from mulberry wood pulp, jade is not carved?it is too hard?but abraded…. [detailed...]

The Ashgate Research Companion to Japanese Music

2008 y.
Publisher: Ashgate
Description: Music is a frequently neglected aspect of Japanese culture. It is in fact a highly problematic area, as the Japanese actively introduced Western music into their modern education system in the Meiji period (1868-1911), creating westernized melodies and instrumental instruction for Japanese children from kindergarten upwards. As a result, now most Japanese have a far greater familiarity with Western (or westernized) music than with traditional Japanese music. Traditional or classical Japanese music has become somewhat ghettoized, known and practised only by small groups of people in social structures which have survived since the pre-modern era. Such marginalization of Japanese music is one of the less recognized costs of Japan`s modernization. On the other hand, music in its westernized and modernized forms has an extremely important place in Japanese culture and society, `Beethoven`s Ninth Symphony`, for example, being so widely known and performed that it is arguably part of… [detailed...]
