When We Were Young: Memories of Growing Up in Britain

Editura: HOXTON MINI PR

Anul aparitiei: 2021

- Anonymous family photos from Britain in the '50s to '80s provide an emotional glimpse of past lives - Shulman's last book Midcentury Memories (9783836575843, Taschen) was named The Times Photography Book of the Year 2019 Filmmaker Lee Shulman, founder of The Anonymous Project, has spent years collecting almost 800,000 color slides from members of the public. His new book, When We Were Young, records memories of growing up in Britain between the '50s and '80s: picnics beside cars, ice creams at the seaside, paddling pool dips, even a baby's first sip of stout... These richly emotive images are at once unknown and deeply familiar, and looking at them is akin to discovering an old relative's long-lost photo album. What happened to these people after the shots were taken? These intimate moments provide an escape into the lives of others and also let us reflect on our own past and perhaps, in this time of deep flux for Britain, on our collective future.

Dass er aber noch gebeten wird, das kleine Unternehmen von Graces Schwester Morgyn zu begutachten und vielleicht sogar zu investieren, damit hatte er nicht gerechnet. Graham ist ein umsichtiger Geschäftsmann, während Morgyn impulsiv, unorganisiert und eher am Energiefluss in ihrem au ergewöhnlichen Shop interessiert ist als an korrekter Buchführung.

Ordnungen Des Wirklichen: Weisen Des Unterscheidens in Philosophie, Kunsten Und Wissenschaften

Editura: VERLAG HERDER

Anul aparitiei: 2017

Die Welt des Alltags ist eine Ordnung von Ahnlichem. Raume, Strassenzuge, Nachbarschaften, Werkzeuge, Arbeitsvorgange, Regale, Taschen, Mulleimer, Zeitungen, Spiele oder Sprachen ordnen Verschiedenes zu Ahnlichem. Was dergestalt unterschieden und vergleichbar ist, beschreibt eine Kultur. Kulturen als Unterscheidungstexturen zu entfalten, heisst Welt als Ordnung des Moglichen und Wirklichen philosophisch zu betrachten. Gemalde, Theaterinszenierungen, Gleichnisse, mathematische Kalkule, philosophische Theorien und Begriffe, eine Erzahlung, Fotografien und Filme dienen als exemplarische Anlasse philosophischen Unterscheidens. Drei Weisen des Umgangs mit Unterscheidungen werden zueinander ins Verhaltnis gesetzt: Kontraste, Vergleiche und Reihen. Kontraste ordnen Vielfalt auf eine Weise, die weder hierarchisch noch logisch, weder deduktiv noch induktiv verfahrt. Vergleiche ordnen Verschiedenes zu Konstellationen, die spezifische Differenzen sichtbar machen. Reihen ordnen Kontraste und Vergleiche durch eine endliche Reihe von Unterscheidungen zu einem Ganzen. Grenze des Ganzen ist die Grenze der Reihe oder das - vorlaufige - Ende weiteren Unterscheidens.

Architecture Now! Vol. 2

Editura: TASCHEN AMER LLC

Anul aparitiei: 2007

The fine line between art and architecture is rapidly becoming harder to perceive. With the aid of sophisticated computer programs, today's most innovative architects are working on designs so conceptual they could not be realized in the physical world. Nevertheless, these sorts of forward-thinking projects are an important influence on the architectural climate. At the dawn of the 21st century, architecture is entering a paradigm shift; no longer can it be completely distinguished from art. Be they built from bytes or bricks, the projects in this book represent the imagination of the planet's most talented and creative architects. For all the latest and most important architectural projects and trends, look no further than this volume, the follow-up to our popular and groundbreaking book Architecture Now!

Gaud

Editura: TASCHEN AMER LLC

Anul aparitiei: 2020

The life of Antoni Gaudí (1852-1926) was full of complexity and contradictions. As a young man he joined the Catalonian nationalist movement and was critical of the church; toward the end of his life he devoted himself completely to the construction of one single spectacular church, La Sagrada Família. In his youth, he courted a glamorous social life and the demeanor of a dandy. By the time of his death in a tram accident on the streets of Barcelona, his clothes were so shabby that passersby assumed he was a beggar. Gaudí's incomparable architecture channels much of this multifaceted intricacy. From the shimmering surface textures and skeletal forms of Casa Batlló to the Hispano-Arabic matrix of Casa Vicens, his work merged the influences of Orientalism, natural forms, new materials, and religious faith into a unique Modernista aesthetic. Today, his buildings enjoy global popularity and acclaim; his magnum opus, the Sagrada Família, is the most-visited monument in Spain and seven of his works are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Packed full of expert texts and hundreds of full-color illustrations, including new photography, this book presents Gaudí's complete oeuvre. Like a ...

Jim Heimann. the Toy Book

Editura: TASCHEN AMER LLC

Anul aparitiei: 2021

Up until the 20th century, children's play was not a subject that demanded much attention. While objects that entertained children have been present from ancient history, it was only with industrial mass production--and a developing urban middle class--that toys appeared more frequently. As playthings began to display a robust economic performance, an industry rose to provide this new market with the objects of their desire. European manufacturers dominated the toy market, with Germany, in particular, supplying the American market with the bulk of both singular and mass-produced products. World War I ended its dominance, and by the 1920s, bolstered by American ingenuity and an ever-growing consumer culture supported by the media empires of newspapers, radio, and television, American toys became ubiquitous in the consumer market. Ranging from the simple to the complex, children were inundated with a commodity to be wished for and sold to by the millions. From frilly dolls to science sets, children were marketed to with gusto, first through magazines and comic books and later through television. Toys fell along familiar gender lines all while being developed with the unspoken subtext ...

Andy Warhol. Love, Sex, and Desire. Drawings 1950

Editura: TASCHEN AMER LLC

Anul aparitiei: 2021

Well before Andy Warhol's rise to the pinnacle of Pop Art, he created and exhibited seductive drawings celebrating male beauty. Andy Warhol Love, Sex, & Desire: Drawings 1950-1962 features over three hundred drawings rendered primarily in ink on paper portraying young men, many of them nude, some sexually charged, and occasionally adorned with whimsical black hearts and delightful embellishments. They lounge or preen, proud of or even bored by their beauty, while the artist sketches them, rapt. They rarely engage with their keen observer, and likewise Warhol's focus is on their form, their erotic qualities, and unbridled sexuality. If his subjects are content to revel in their attractiveness, so too is Warhol. His confident hand illustrates a multitude of colorful characters, yet also reveals much about this enigmatic artist. Warhol was already a booming commercial illustrator when he exhibited studies from this body of work at the Bodley Gallery on New York's Upper East Side in 1956. He mistakenly saw these illustrations as his way of breaking into the New York art scene, underestimating the pervading homophobia of the time. While he never saw through his plan to publish the ...

It was an age of mighty heroes, misunderstood monsters, and complex villains. With the publication of Fantastic Four No. 1 in November 1961, comics giant Marvel inaugurated a transformative era in pop culture. Through the next two decades, the iconic Hulk, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and the X-Men leapt, darted, and towered through its pages. Captain America was resurrected from his 1940s deep-freeze and the Avengers became the World's Greatest Super Heroes. Daredevil, Doctor Strange, and dozens more were added to the pantheon, each with their own rogues' gallery of malevolent counterparts. Nearly 60 years later, these thrilling characters from the 1960s and '70s are more popular than ever, fighting the good fight in comics, toy aisles, and blockbuster movies around the world. In The Marvel Age of Comics 1961-1978, legendary writer and editor Roy Thomas takes you to the heart of this seminal segment in comic history--an age of triumphant character and narrative innovation that reinvented the super hero genre. With more than 500 images and insider insights, the book traces the birth of champions who were both epic in their powers and grounded in a world that readers recognized as close ...

Vermeer. l'Oeuvre Complet

Editura: TASCHEN AMER LLC

Anul aparitiei: 2020

His works have prompted a New York Times bestseller; a film starring Scarlett Johansson and Colin Firth; record visitor numbers at art institutions from Amsterdam to Washington, DC; and special crowd-control measures at the Mauritshuis, The Hague, where thousands flock to catch a glimpse of the enigmatic and enchanting Girl with a Pearl Earring, also known as the "Dutch Mona Lisa". In his lifetime, however, the fame of Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) barely extended beyond his native Delft and a small circle of patrons. After his death, his name was largely forgotten, except by a few Dutch art collectors and dealers. Outside of Holland, his works were even misattributed to other artists. It was not until the mid-19th century that Vermeer came to the attention of the international art world, which suddenly looked upon his narrative minutiae, meticulous textural details, and majestic planes of light, spotted a genius, and never looked back. This edition features the complete catalog of Vermeer's work, presenting the calm yet compelling scenes so treasured in galleries across Europe and the United States in one monograph of utmost reproduction quality. Crisp details and essays tracing ...

"Sirs" begins the missive from our imaginary correspondent. "It's not that I don't love your original Big Penis Book, but that, perhaps, I love it too much. I now become anxious leaving the house without it, and long business trips are simply torture. Couldn't you make a smaller, less obtrusive edition, still packed with men whose generative members measure over 8 inches, that doesn't form a suspiciously large bulge in my carry-on luggage? And while you're at it, could you make it highly affordable, since my pockets are as shallow as this premise?" Done!

ANDO COMPLETE WORKS 1975 TODAY

Anul aparitiei: 2022

Discover the completely unique aesthetic of Tadao Ando, the only architect ever to have won the discipline's four most prestigious prizes: the Pritzker, Carlsberg, Praemium Imperiale, and Kyoto Prize. Philippe Starck defines him as a "mystic in a country which is no longer mystic." Philip Drew calls his buildings "land art" as they "struggle to emerge from the earth." His designs have been described as haiku crafted from concrete, water, light, and space. But to Ando, true architecture is not expressed in metaphysics or beauty, but rather through space that embodies physical wisdom. This thoroughly updated edition spans the breadth of his entire career, including such acclaimed new projects as the Bourse de Commerce in Paris and the Nakanoshima Children's Book Forest in Osaka. Each project is profiled through photographs and architectural drawings to explore Ando's unprecedented use of concrete, wood, water, light, space, and natural forms. Featuring designs from award-winning private homes, churches, museums, and apartment complexes to cultural spaces throughout Japan, South Korea, France, Italy, Germany, Mexico, and the USA, this XXL-edition brings you up close and personal with ...

100 CONTEMPORARY CONCRETE BUILDINGS

Editura: TASCHEN UK

Anul aparitiei: 2022

Concrete? That characterless stuff of parking lots or Communist tower blocks, right? Well, yes. And no. Concrete is actually a name applied to a remarkably wide range of building substances, and, when properly handled, is one of the noble materials of contemporary architecture. A kind of "liquid stone" at the outset, it is malleable, durable, and capable of prodigious feats of engineering. This collection highlights the best work done in concrete of recent years . It includes such stars as Zaha Hadid, Herzog & de Meuron, and Steven Holl , but also surprising new architects like the Russians SPEECH and artists such as James Turrell , who turned the famous concrete spiral of Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim in New York into the setting of one of his most remarkable pieces.
