Book Synopsis Seeing the book by : Alena Pomajzlová
Download or read book Seeing the book written by Alena Pomajzlová and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stunning survey of the rarely seen book designs of Czech artist Josef Capek Josef Capek (1887-1945) was one of Czech modernism's most formative protagonists. The artist first studied weaving before finding his métier as both a painter and designer. During a short stint in Paris, he befriended the poet Guillaume Apollinaire, who was then the leading theorist of and driving force behind Cubism. Capek adopted the Cubist style, fusing it with moodier elements of Expressionism and Symbolism to create a uniquely Czech take on the style. Alongside his work as a painter, Capek designed several hundred book covers from 1918 until his death in 1945 for Czech publications of early twentieth-century authors such as Apollinaire, Karel Capek, Jan Bartos, Josef Hora, Josef Kopta, Pierre Mac Orlan, Giovanni Papini, Pirandello, Miroslav Rutte and Georg Trakl and nineteenth-century authors such as Flaubert, Goethe, Kropotkin, Sheridan Le Fanu and Arthur Machen. Capek's designs were much celebrated in Czechoslavakia for their simplicity and their virtuoso use of linocut. Itself a beautiful publication, The Book Design of Josef Capek: Seeing The Book presents a fully-illustrated and complete survey of this rarely seen work.

Download or read book Josef Albers written by Josef Albers and published by Silvana Editoriale. This book was released on 2013 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Josef Albers (1888-1976) è uno dei massimi esponenti dell'astrattismo geometrico del Novecento. Grazie all'attività artistica condotta al Bauhaus e grazie al ruolo di insegnante, che rivestì allo stesso Bauhaus, e poi in America, presso il Black Mountain College e presso la scuola d'arte della Yale University, di cui fu direttore, Josef Albers ha potuto esercitare una straordinaria influenza verso un'intera generazione di artisti. Non a caso, è stato il primo artista americano vivente cui il Metropolitan Museum of Art di New York ha dedicato nel 1970 una mostra antologica personale, concentrata in particolare sugli Omaggi al quadrato, celebre serie di dipinti alla quale Albers si dedica fino alla morte, avvenuta nel 1976. Questo catalogo, edito in occasione della mostra ideata per Perugia da Nicholas Fox Weber, direttore della Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, intende far conoscere l'aspetto spirituale sotteso all'arte di Albers presentando una serie di opere che meglio esprimono la personale religiosità e la profonda immersione nel cattolicesimo dell'artista, teso verso la ricerca di quella che è stata definita una "geometria dell'assoluto". Il volume, con numerosi testi critici, è completato da una cronologia. Saggi di: Nicholas Fox Weber, Fabio De Chirico, Fiona Kearney, Paolo Papone, Marco Pierini, Colm Tóibín, Julie Agoos.
Book Synopsis Josef Albers Glass, Color, and Light by : Josef Albers
Download or read book Josef Albers Glass, Color, and Light written by Josef Albers and published by Solomon R Guggenheim Museum. This book was released on 1994 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Josef Albers (1888-1976), famous as a master at Germany's Bauhaus until 1933, and then a professor in American schools such as Yale University, influenced many young artists. His Homage to the Square series of paintings remains an important example of 20th-century art. Yet Albers's first great works - the glass pictures that he made in Germany beginning in 1921 - remain little known. Starting with found fragments of colored glass, and later employing a sophisticated sandblasting process, Albers created a new art form.
Book Synopsis A Writing Kind of Day by : Ralph Fletcher
Download or read book A Writing Kind of Day written by Ralph Fletcher and published by Boyds Mills Press. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's easy to make one, lying on your back in the newest snow. You move your arms like wings. Later you forget about your creation, go inside for a mug of hot chocolate. That's when she rises from the snow takes a feathery breath, tries out her wings. So begins a poem about making a snow angel, but it might also refer to the mysterious way that a poem comes into being and takes on a life of its own. In this new collection, Ralph Fletcher shows us how you can write a poem about almost anything: a baby sister, a Venus's-flytrap, a failing grandmother, a squished squirrel, grammar homework, and more. These poems take us inside the creative process as they reveal both the playfulness and the power of poetry. More than anything, they invite us to pick up pen and paper and write some poems of your own.
