Описание: While imported Chinese porcelain had become a valuable commodity in Europe in the 17th century, local attempts to produce porcelain long remained unsuccessful. At last, the secret of porcelain was uncovered, and in 1710, the first European porcelain was manufactured in Saxony. This illustrated book explores the early years of Meissen porcelain.

Описание: Fragiles is an eclectic collection of unconventional contemporary work in porcelain, glass and ceramics. Today, these materials are increasingly being used in playful ways by both established and emerging design talents, who are inspired by Modernism, an ironic depiction of kitsch and an expanded repertoire of forms made possible by technological developments such as rapid prototyping. The spectrum and quality of these innovative projects shows a current generation of designers just how relevant and challenging working with these traditional fragile materials can be.

Описание: Despite a propaganda programme intent on maintaining the cliche of stability, Putin`s regime was suddenly confronted in December 2011 by a public protest movement that told a different side of the story. The author argues that Putinism has brought economic growth to Russia but also weaker institutions, and this contradiction leads to instability.

Описание: Global warming means that our coastlines change and areas of the world disappear; ecosystems are unbalanced; climate zones shift; and that animal and plant life disappear. The photographs in this book illustrate the beauty of the world`s carefully balanced ecosystems, and the people whose traditional way of life is in tune with nature.

Описание: Discover hidden monsters and transform serpents, chimeras, dragons and gargoyles into otherworldly beings in this coloring book inspired by grotesque ornament prints from the 16th and 17th centuries. Animals become alternately fearsome or playful as you color in these delicate designs from the imaginative minds of artists working in the Age of Exploration.
The late-15th-century discovery of ancient Roman ruins was deeply influential to artists and designers, who disseminated their grotesque motifs, through drawings, prints and patterns in architecture, metalwork, textiles and ceramics. Suddenly, creatures, fearsome or playful, graceful or rigid, appeared in sinuous designs for locks, ewers, rings, tapestries, stained glass and more. These intimately scaled works, often measuring just a few inches, are at times erotically charged and at others moralizing.
In June 2016, Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum mounts the exhibition "Fragile Beasts," highlighting rarely seen grotesque works on paper from the museum's permanent collection, as well as several books from the Smithsonian Design Library's rare book collection. Now, never before published in this form, they are redrawn by designer Magali An Berthon in the pages of a coloring book.
