Aleppo Tales

2005 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: The Jewish community of Aleppo in Syria, the biblical Aram Soba is one of the world`s most ancient, guardian of the famous Keter Torah scroll, and boasting a synagogue dating back to the Second Temple. In this collection of three tales, the central novella, The Wheel Turns Full Circle, is a rare gem. Sabato interlaces the history of one family with the social and political turmoil spanning over a century, it pivots around an heirloom, a Hanukkah lamp that has made its way into the Louvre. Broken Tablets is an elegy to the lost generation of pious scholars from the Sephardic communities who immigrated to Israel in the 1950s. Truth from the Earth shall Spring explores the mystery of a rare manuscript whose existence has been suppressed for generations after a tragic death in the family. A master of Hebrew ancient and modern, Sabato has been hailed as Agnon`s successor. Philip Simpson`s translation from the originally entitled Emet Mi Eretz Titzmach lifts a veil on a lost world,Е [detailed...]

Alessandro Mendini: 2469 Drawings

2006 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Book DescriptionAmong distinguished contemporary designers, Alessandro Mendini is perhaps most deserving of the overused title of Renaissance man. Painter, writer, architect, theorist, designer: His work in all these fields has influenced generations of other artists and craftsmen and delighted even those who don`t know his name but have entered his spaces (like his stores for Alessi and Swatch), sipped from his espresso cups, and rested in his chairs. Through his work as a founder of Studio Alchimia in 1979 and editor of the magazines Casabella , Modo , and domus , Mendini has fought the strictures of modernism and championed the expressive value of decoration, which is the foundation for the development of his designs. This book offers a window into Mendini`s working methods by presenting some 2,000 of his introductory designs, sketches, and texts that would eventually be realized as objects and buildings. This one-of-a-kind archive is both an importantЕ [detailed...]

Alex Katz Paints Ada (Jewish Museum of New York)

2006 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: For almost fifty years, the American artist Alex Katz (b. 1927) has painted a series of portraits of his wife, Ada. This beautifully illustrated book is the first to focus on these iconic paintings, which are unprecedented in their focus on a single figure over many years. In this volume, leading scholars explore the allure of Ada as a subject and the art-historical importance of KatzТs portraits, asking fascinating questions about KatzТs methods and intentions: What do these paintings reveal and conceal about their subject? What does Katz do in the studio to convey such vitality on his canvases? How does KatzТs work fit into the history of portraiture and the art movements of the 1960s and beyond? Acclaimed art critic and curator Robert Storr examines AdaТs alluring persona, comparing her to other УgoddessesФ who have captivated centuries of portrait painters. James Schuyler recounts a day in KatzТs studio, and the late British artЕ [detailed...]

Alexander Calder: The Paris Years, 1926-1933 (Whitney Museum of American Art)

2008 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: In 1926, Alexander Calder (1898Ц1976) moved from New York to Paris and began to use time and motion as `materials` for animating line and space. CalderТs years in ParisЦЦan understudied part of the artistТs careerЦЦis the focus of this marvelous publicatin. A team of international scholars discusses CalderТs many innovations of this period, chief among them his abstract, motorized, and mobile works. They analyze the extended cast of CalderТs animated Circus, made in Paris between 1926 and 1931, and inclue previously unpublished photographs by Brassai and Kertesz of Calder and this beloved performative sculpture. The essays critically explore the intellectual, cultural, and artistic milieu of Paris in the late 1920s and early 1930s and the contexts of CalerТs friendships with Miro, Mondrian, Duchamp, and Man Ray, among others. What emerges in this fascinating book is a nuanced and detailed understanding of how CalderТs distinctive career first took flight. [detailed...]

Alexander Calder

2009 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: American-born artist Alexander Calder (1898- 1976) is universally celebrated for his innovative sculptures and paintings--both figurative and abstract. From his student beginnings as a rather conventional Ashcan-school painter, he moved on to work in wood and wire and, later, to develop an abstract style. Although Calder is primarily considered a sculptor, he was a marvelous draftsman, and much of his innovation first took place in two dimensions. The very definition of sculpture was changed by Calder: not only did he perpetually invent new shapes, he also created innovative forms that necessitated coining the terms mobile` and `stabile` to describe them. This volume includes an in-depth essay by Dore Ashton, introducing Calder`s beloved and critically acclaimed work.American artist Alexander Calder (1898-1976) is one of the most beloved artists of the twentieth century and is widely know for his invention, in 1931, of the mobile, a type of kinetic sculpture in which suspendedЕ [detailed...]

Alexander Hamilton : A Life

Publisher: Ч
Description: Book Description From his less than auspicious start in 1755 on the Caribbean island of Nevis to his untimely death in a duel with his old enemy Aaron Burr in 1804, Alexander Hamilton, despite his short life, left a huge legacy. Orphaned at thirteen and apprenticed in a counting house, the precocious Hamilton learned principles of business that helped him create the American financial system and invent the modern corporation. But first the staunch, intrepid Hamilton served in the American Revolution, acting as General Washington`s spymaster. Forging a successful legal career, Hamilton coauthored the Federalist Papers and plunged into politics. Irresistibly attractive to women, he was a man of many gifts, but he could be arrogant and was, at times, a poor judge of character. In this meticulously researched, illuminating, and lively account, Willard Sterne Randall mines the latest scholarship to provide a new perspective on Alexander Hamilton, hisЕ [detailed...]
