Heavenly Himalayas

From the first century BCE to the thirteenth century, Kashmir was a thriving center of Buddhist culture and art. The rise of Islamic peoples led to the destruction of all temples constructed there during the Buddhist era. Yet in the remote Himalayas of Ladakh and other neighboring locations, a few of these archaeological and artistic treasures are exquisitely preserved and are reproduced here for the first time. This volume takes readers on a journey through these remote sites, focusing especially on the amazing temple complex of Mangyu. The chapels, shrines, and dazzling murals presented here not only reveal much about late Mahayana Buddhism in India-its art, culture, and history-but also help fill a gap in our knowledge of the development of early Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism.

Gustav Klimt
Автор: Partsch Susanna Жанр: Prestel Год: 2012 Страниц: 120 Дата загрузки: 11 июня 20142013-12-30

The enfant terrible of the Viennese art scene, Klimt was notorious for his portraits of beautiful women. Illustrated with color reproductions, this book profiles the women who figured in the artist's life and on his canvasses. The author looks beyond the standard assumption that Klimt was a hard-hearted philanderer, pointing instead to his committed and loving relationship with Emilie Floge that prevailed despite the parade of beautiful women who wandered in and out of the artist's studio. Partsch demonstrates Klimt's role in the evolution of portrait painting, which helped usher in the age of Expressionism.

New Fashion Photography

This stunningly illustrated book profiles more than 30 artists from around the world through exclusive interviews, commentary, and hundreds of beautiful images. Its subjects are enormously diverse in style and technique. From Nick Knight's paint-soaked portrait of Lady Gaga to the LaRoache Brothers' macabre restyling of Lily Cole, new fashion portraiture is consistently challenging our conventional ideas of beauty by confronting us with the unexpected. Throughout, photographers explore new avenues of thought and practice previously off-limits in the fashion world: Daniel Sannwald and Pierre Debusschere push the boundaries of the experimental avant-garde and articulate the schizophrenia of contemporary media through digital and physical interventions into the image surface; Miles Aldridge and Chadwick Tyler explore dark surrealism and the subconscious; Eugenio Recuenco and Aram Bedrossian absorb themselves in the language of romance, art and cinema; Alice Hawkins and Kourtney Roy create conceptually charged images that explore body image through self-referential and observational satire; Paola Kudacki and Markus + Indrani craft deceptively simple photos of stunning beauty. Each of the photographers profiled here are part of an explosive new artistic moment that is at once redefining notions of beauty and opening up the world of fashion photography to new and thrilling possibilities.

Seaside Polaroids

Anyone who grew up holidaying on England's beaches is familiar with the distinctive features of these historic resorts — not the exclusive, paradisiacal haunts of the rich and famous, but the gritty, often rocky shores of the Atlantic and the Irish and North Seas, filled with amusement arcades, bathing huts, beach umbrellas and people of all ages and classes. Jon Nicolson's Polaroid SX70 is the perfect vehicle to capture the colour and character of summers at the sea. At once immediate and ephemeral, these delicately hued, slightly muted images taken with original, out-of-date film stock depict the faded glory of Yarmouth's giant piers, Brighton's pebbly shores, the Blackpool Pleasure Beach amusement park, the dunes of Hemsby, and many other resorts across Britain. Each of the 70 photographs is beautifully reproduced on its own page with descriptive captions. A foreword by Joseph Galliano provides a wry, contemporary perspective on these beloved, centuries-old locations.
