Описание: This book charts contemporary illustrations rich history: the rampant idealism of the 1960s, the bleak realism of the 1970s, the over-blown consumerism of the 1980s, the digital explosion of the 1990s, followed by the increasing diversification of illustration in the early twenty-first century. The book explores the contexts in which the discipline has operated and looks historically, sociologically, politically and culturally at the key factors at play across each decade, whilst artworks by key illustrators bring the decade to life. Contemporary illustrations impact and influence on design and popular culture are investigated through introductory essays and profiles of leading practitioners, illustrated with examples of their finest work.

Описание: The remarkable chess sets featured in this volume span time and history, chronicling the story of the game and its design with exemplary pieces from the author's collection, as well as others from museums around the globe. Chess Masterpieces considers chess through the dual perspectives of art and history. For instance, in Islamic countries the taboo against figurative representation led to the familiar abstract shapes we recognize as the traditionalA" chess set.

Local materials and techniques also influenced design, as demonstrated in the ivory, alabaster, and clay chessmen found in Africa. Among the upper classes of Europe, commissions resulted in sets executed by the workshops of Wedgwood and Waterford in England, Limoge in France, Meisen and Villeroy Boch in Germany, Murano and Capodimonte in Italy, and Faberge in Russia. Chess is a war game, and this volume will feature some of the most notable sets created to commemorate battles and historical conflicts such as Waterloo, both World Wars, the Punic Wars, the Ghibellines and the Guelphs, the Crusades, and the American Revolution.

Also reproduced here are a Chinese ivory set of incomparable complexity and workmanship; the famous Lewis chessmen, one of the earliest known examples of European chess design; Egyptian sets made of glass, ceramic, alabaster, and rock crystal; and modern sets created by major artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, including Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp, Salvador Dali, Max Ernst, Alexander Calder, Damien Hirst, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Yayoi Kusama, Paul McCarthy, and Maurizio Cattelan.

Описание: Culled from the archives of the prestigious 65-year-old photo agency founded by Henri Cartier Bresson, this collection of images from internationally renowned photographers is a compelling record of the recent decades of worldwide revolution. The history of revolution is as old as humanity; yet it is only since the invention of photography that we have been able to discern the realities of these conflicts from the distance of time. Starting with the Hungarian uprising in 1956 and culminating with the most recent triumphs and tragedies of the »Arab Spring«, this book brings together hundreds of color and black-and-white images that depict historic events from a human perspective. Iconic images from revolutions in Prague, Nicaragua, Tiananmen Square, Romania, Ukraine, Poland, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and other locations are introduced in double-page spreads featuring the images of Magnum photographers such as Raymond Depardon, Burt Glinn, Rene Burri, Josef Koudelka, Susan Meiselas, and many more. Introduced by renowned »New Yorker« journalist Jon Lee Anderson, and featuring texts and interviews by Paul Watson, this uplifting and important book offers, for the first time, a collective understanding of the universal dream of freedom and the inevitability of change.
