Book Synopsis Harald Sohlberg by : Marianne Yvenes
Download or read book Harald Sohlberg written by Marianne Yvenes and published by Hirmer Verlag GmbH. This book was released on 2018 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Majestic and magical landscapes, the soft beauty of fields of flowers, the raw cold of winter: the works of Harald Sohlberg combine a Romantic perception of nature with a contemporary pictorial language akin to Symbolism. This volume assembles some 60 paintings, in addition to a number of drawings, prints and photographs by the artist and grants insight into his conceptual world through his correspondence.0In particular the mountain world surrounding Rondane National Park provided Harald Sohlberg (1869?1935) with inexhaustible inspiration for countless studies and watercolours which were later incorporated into his landscape pictures. This volume places one of his most famous works, 'Winter Night in the Mountains', in a new context and casts light on less well-known aspects of Sohlberg?s oeuvre, which also includes street scenes, for example. One characteristic of his works that is particularly attractive is the lack of people in them - not least because their traces always appear present. This reveals a critical attitude to the modern age and at the same time allows the viewer to become immersed in his or her own stories.00Exhibition: National Gallery, Oslo, Norway (29.9.2018 - 13.1.2019) / Dulwich Picture Gallery, London, UK (13.2. - 2.6.2019) / Museum Wiesbaden, Germany (12.7. - 27.10.2019).

Book Synopsis Harald Szeemann by : Hans-Joachim Müller
Download or read book Harald Szeemann written by Hans-Joachim Müller and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harald Szeemann (1933-2005) war einer der einflussreichsten Ausstellungsmacher der letzten Jahrzehnte. Eine ganze Generation von Kuratoren hat sich von seiner unabhängigen Ausstellungspraxis und seinen emphatischen Inszenierungen der Gegenwartskunst inspirieren lassen. Szeemanns unbeirrbares Interesse am künstlerischen Einzelweg, an starker Haltung und kraftvoller Persönlichkeit erscheint im Rückblick wie vehementer Widerspruch gegen einen Kunstbetrieb der Trends und Tendenzen. Der Band beschreibt das »Prinzip Szeemann«, die Visionen eines erklärten Ausstellungskünstlers und lässt die wichtigsten Stationen seiner singulären Karriere Revue passieren - von der legendären Berner Ausstellung »When Attitudes Become Form« über die documenta 5, die großen thematischen Untersuchungen wie »Junggesellenmaschinen« und »Der Hang zum Gesamtkunstwerk«, die Entdeckung der jungen osteuropäischen Szenen bis hin zu den Biennalen in Venedig, Lyon und Sevilla. (Englische Ausgabe ISBN 978-3-7757-1705-2) Zum Autor: Hans-Joachim Müller (*1947), Studium der Kunstgeschichte und Philosophie, in den 1980er Jahren Kunstkritiker im Feuilleton der »Zeit«, zuletzt Feuilletonchef der »Basler Zeitung«. Lebt heute als freier Autor (unter anderem für die »Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung«, die »Zeit« und das »art«-Magazin) in Freiburg im Breisgau und in Süditalien.

Download or read book Remain in Me-- written by Andreas Schmidt and published by Scepter Publishers. This book was released on 2011 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saint Paul's command to "Pray without ceasing" (1 Thess 5:17) can seem impossible for the average Christian living in the middle of this hectic contemporary world. Yet his words are intended as much for those of his time as those of today, and as much for those who labor at home or in the office as for those in monasteries. Indeed, the Catechism of the Catholic Church professes the contemplative life, or in other words, a life of constant prayer, as both necessary and attainable.
Book Synopsis Erik Gunnar Asplund by : Malcolm Woollen
Download or read book Erik Gunnar Asplund written by Malcolm Woollen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-16 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking an interdisciplinary approach, weaving together art, philosophy, history, and literature, this book investigates the landscapes and buildings of Swedish architect Erik Gunnar Asplund. Through critical essays and beautiful illustrations focusing on four projects, the Woodland Cemetery, the Stockholm Public Library, the Stockholm Exhibition and Asplund’s own house at Stennäs, it addresses the topic of buildings accompanied by landscapes. It proposes that themes related to landscape are central to Asplund’s distinctive work, with these particular sites forming a collection that documents an evolution in his design thinking from 1915 to 1940. The architect himself wrote comparatively little about his design intentions. However, through close reading and analysis of the selected projects as landscapes with architecture, author Malcolm Woollen argues that reflections of the history of Swedish landscape architecture and the intellectual climate in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries are evident in his work and help to explain the architect’s intentions. This book is a must-have for academics, advanced students and researchers in landscape architecture and design who are interested in Nordic Classicism and the works of Erik Gunnar Asplund.

Book Synopsis Philosophy for Polar Explorers by : Erling Kagge
Download or read book Philosophy for Polar Explorers written by Erling Kagge and published by Pantheon. This book was released on 2020-11-17 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thoughtful and eloquent meditation that invites us to treat life like a grand exploration and illuminates the possibilities that await us when we do—from “a philosophical adventurer—or perhaps an adventurous philosopher” (The New York Times). Erling Kagge is one of the world’s most accomplished explorers. He was the first to conquer all three poles on foot, by climbing Mount Everest and walking to the North and South Poles. In this thought-provoking and inspiring book, he uses the wisdom and expertise he has gained on his travels to reflect on life, nature, and humanity. Simple things like getting up early and accepting failure can make a difference, whether battling an arctic storm or stuck in traffic. And practices such as cultivating optimism and being open-minded when pursuing goals can benefit our lives enormously, wherever our paths may take us.

Download or read book Morning Poems written by Robert Bly and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Morning Poems is a sensational collection — Robert Bly's best in many years. Inspired by the example of William Stafford, Bly decided to embark on the project of writing a daily poem: Every morning he would stay in bed until he had completed the day's work. These 'little adventures/In Morning longing,' as he calls them, address classic poetic subjects (childhood, the seasons, death and heaven) in a way that capitalizes fully on the pun in the book's title. These are morning poems, full of the delight and mystery of waking in a new day, and they also do their share of mourning, elegizing the deceases and capturing the 'moment of sorror before creation.' Some of the poems are dialogues where unconventional speakers include mice, maple trees, bundles of grain, the body, the 'oldest mind' and the soul. A particularly moving sequence involves Bly's imaginative transactions with a great and unlikely precursor, Wallace Stevens. The whole is a fascinating and original book from one of our most fascinating authors." — David Lehman

Download or read book The Grip of It written by Jac Jemc and published by FSG Originals. This book was released on 2017-08-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist for the Chicago Review of Books Fiction Award, Dan Chaon's Best of 2017 pick in Publishers Weekly, one of Vol. 1 Brooklyn's Best Books of 2017, a BOMB Magazine "Looking Back on 2017: Literature" Pick, and one of Vulture's 10 Best Thriller Books of 2017. Jac Jemc's The Grip of It is a chilling literary horror novel about a young couple haunted by their newly purchased home Touring their prospective suburban home, Julie and James are stopped by a noise. Deep and vibrating, like throat singing. Ancient, husky, and rasping, but underwater. “That’s just the house settling,” the real estate agent assures them with a smile. He is wrong. The move—prompted by James’s penchant for gambling and his general inability to keep his impulses in check—is quick and seamless; both Julie and James are happy to start afresh. But this house, which sits between a lake and a forest, has its own plans for the unsuspecting couple. As Julie and James try to establish a sense of normalcy, the home and its surrounding terrain become the locus of increasingly strange happenings. The framework— claustrophobic, riddled with hidden rooms within rooms—becomes unrecognizable, decaying before their eyes. Stains are animated on the wall—contracting, expanding—and map themselves onto Julie’s body in the form of painful, grisly bruises. Like the house that torments the troubled married couple living within its walls, The Grip of It oozes with palpable terror and skin-prickling dread. Its architect, Jac Jemc, meticulously traces Julie and James’s unsettling journey through the depths of their new home as they fight to free themselves from its crushing grip.

Since then, Hans Ulrich Obrist and the Fondation Cartier have renewed their collaboration. After Vivid Memories (2014), the exhibitions The Great Animal Orchestra (2016), Junya Ishigami, Freeing Architecture (2018), and Southern Geometries, from Mexico to Patagonia (2018) were the occasion of new "marathon dialogues" with other artists and contributors. The book, Infinite Conversations, gathers together all these 31 conversations in an invitation to transcend the borders between art disciplines.
