简介:"The Bauhaus, the school of art and design founded in Germany in 1919 and shut down by the Nazis in 1933, brought together artists, architects and designers - among them Anni and Josef Albers, Herbert Bayer, Marcel Breuer, Lyonel Feininger, Walter Gropius, Johannes Itten, Vasily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Lilly Reich, Oskar Schlemmer, Gunta Stolzl - in an extraordinary conversation on the nature of art in the industrial age. Aiming to rethink the form of modern life, the Bauhaus became the site of a dazzling array of experiments in the visual arts that have profoundly shaped the world today. Bauhaus 1919-1933: Workshops for Modernity, published to accompany a major multimedia exhibition, is The Museum of Modern Art's first comprehensive treatment of the subject since its famous Bauhaus exhibition of 1938, and offers a new generational perspective on the twentieth century's most influential experiment in artistic education." "Organized in collaboration with the three major Bauhaus collections in Germany (the Bauhaus-Archiv Berlin, the Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau and the Klassic Stiftung Weimar), Bauhaus 1919-1933 examines the extraordinarily broad spectrum of the school's products, including industrial design, furniture, architecture, graphics, photography, textiles, ceramics, theater and costume design, painting and sculpture. Many of the objects discussed and illustrated here have rarely if ever been seen or published outside Germany. Featuring approximately 400 color plates, richly complemented by documentary images, Bauhaus 1919-1933 includes two overarching essays by the exhibition's curators, Barry Bergdoll and Leah Dickerman, that present new perspectives on the Bauhaus. Shorter essays by more than 20 leading scholars apply contemporary viewpoints to 30 key Bauhaus objects, and an illustrated narrative chronology provides a dynamic glimpse of the Bauhaus' lived history."--BOOK JACKET.

作者: 包豪斯档案馆
简介:
本书向读者展示了位于柏林的包豪斯档案馆非常珍贵的收藏资料,包括文件、各种设计成品、研究手绘以及建筑模型等。通过对这些资料精美地编排,本书从包豪斯流派的起源到后期发展生动并成体系地介绍了包豪斯运动对艺术和建筑深刻的影响力,并对整个流派的重要人物如格罗皮乌斯、马塞尔·布劳耶、康定斯基和保罗·克利等都做了全面的诠释。
在魏玛建校距今已近100年了,包豪斯已然成为世界性的概念和标志。作为艺术设计的开创者,它所倡导的就是现在我们称之为“包豪斯风格”的纯粹的简约主义。包豪斯的教师蜚声世界,囊括了一个时代的艺术先驱,例如瓦西里·康定斯基(Wassily Kandinsky)、列奥尼·费宁格(Lyonel Feininger)、保罗·克利(Paul Klee)和奥斯卡·施莱默(Oskar Schlemmer)。包豪斯的教学策略主要是由约翰·伊顿(Johannes Itten)、约瑟夫·阿尔博斯(Josef Albers)和拉兹洛·莫霍利·纳吉(László Moholy-Nagy)制定的,而后被全球的艺术课程和设计机构广泛应用,时至今日依然势头不减。另一方面,包豪斯建筑先锋派在20世纪得以发展,以瓦尔特·格罗皮乌斯(Walter Gropius)和路德维希·密斯·凡·德·罗(Ludwig Mies van der Rohe)的作品为发端,其单调的盒状结构和“没有灵魂”的住宅因使城市变得丑陋且违背乡村肌理,而在今天饱受争议。
玛格达莱娜·德罗斯特(Magdalena Droste)已经在包豪斯档案馆和包豪斯设计博物馆从事研究多年,她致力于弥合该项研究的断层。本书以近年来不断修正的视角来描述包豪斯的历史,从包豪斯的产生到*终解散,清晰而简明地梳理了它的结构与发展历程,适读群体既包括一般读者,也包括专家学者。本书没有忽视与包豪斯的美学和社会目标相关的矛盾与冲突。作者: 法兰克·怀特佛德(Frank Whitford)著;林育如译

出版社:电子科技大学 1998年10月
简介:merican artist Cleve Gray has produced a unique body of work over the past half century. The extent and character of his production are revealed in Nicholas Fox Weber's lucid study of the artist's life and accomplishments. Gray's interest in art began in early childhood and was stimulated greatly at Princeton University, from which he graduated summa cum laude in 1940. In Europe during World War II, as a GI, he met the French painters Jacques Villon and Andre Lhote and studied with both men. Absorbing stimulation from Cubism and the School of Paris, Gray nevertheless pursued his own course toward a personal abstraction. In a catalogue essay for a 1977 show, the curator and museum director Robert Buck wrote that Gray's work showed "a kind of breakthrough in which an expressionist painter, originally inspired by Cubism, com- bines the legacy of American painting in the 1950s with a remarkable sense of color and space bearing no relationship to the other work of the much touted so-called color painters." Cleve Gray's career and artistic development paralleled the rise of the Abstract Expressionists and the Color Field painters and mirrored some of their concerns, but his jour-ney always remained a personal, distinctive, and indepen-dent effort that never catered to fashion. In 1972, Gray was offered a commission that resulted in what is considered his most dazzling work, a huge multi-paneled mural for the enormous central gallery in the Philip Johnson-designed Neuberger Museum on the cam-pus of the State University of New York at Purchase. Gray's Threnody, a brooding, passionate response to the horrors of the Vietnam War, was characterized by Emily Genauer in the New York Post as "the most moving and beautiful mural project in the country." Far from resting on his laurels after creating Threnody,Gray continued pursuing new ways of expression. Travel to Israel, Egypt, Rome (where he served several summers as Artist-in-Residence at the American Academy), and trips to India, Indonesia, and Japan hosted by U.S.I.A. gave birth to a long series of paintings. On all these travels Gray was accompanied by his wife, the distinguished writer Francine du Plessix Gray. Cleve Gray has also been a diligent and accomplished writer for many years. He has been a contributing editor for Art in America magazine, an essayist and editor of three volumes on the work of the artists David Smith, John Marin, and Hans Richter, and the translator of Marcel Duchamp's A l'Infinitif. Gray has remained a champion of his beliefs in words as well as in his graphic expression. In a bold essay of 1959 for American Scholar he deplored the low taste of the art.作者简介: Nicholas Fox Weber is director of the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation. He has curated exhibitions at institutions ranging from the Solomon R.Guggenheim Museum in New York, to the Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C., to the Peggy Guggen-heim Collection in Venice. Mr. Weber is author of nu-merous articles and essays on a variety of subjects, and he has written many exhibition catalogues. He is the author of books about Josef Albers, Anni Albers, Jean and Laurent de Brunhoff (creators of the memorable chil-dren's book character Babar) and other artists. His book,Patron Saints: Five Rebels Who Opened America to a New Art 1928-1943, received the Boston Globe's L. L.Winship Award.
Josef + Anni Albers : designs for living /
作者: [text: Nicholas Fox Weber, Martin Filler; foreward: Paul Warwick Thompson]
简介:The first comprehensive book on the furniture, textiles and other works of two of the most important and influential artists of the twentieth century. 'Designs for Living' features innovative objects that the couple designed for their homes while teaching at the Bauhaus in Germany and following their move to the United States in 1933 and includes specially commissioned photographs of important but little-known works. Illuminating essays celebrate the Alberses' endless creativity and set their ground-breaking work in the context of international Modernism. This book will appeal to students, art historians, collectors and anyone interested in twentieth-century design.
简介: The late Harry Seidler was a powerful architectural voice with internationally acclaimed, award-winning work spanning the decades. Awarded the RAIA Gold Medal and the RIBA's Gold Medal in 1996, he attended Walter Gropius' Master Class together with notaries such as I.M. Pei and Henry Cobb. He later studied with Marcel Breuer and Josef Albers. Seidler was well known for his tenacity in gaining approvals from planning authorities for his houses, which are all architectural triumphs.
简介:Marking its twenty-fifth anniversary in 1997, the Renwick Gallery has become the nation's premier showcase and study center for objects made of metal, fiber, wood, clay, and glass. As a curatorial department of the National Museum of American Art, the Renwick has grown from a kunsthalle for temporary exhibitions to a museum branch dedicated to collecting, research, publications, exhibitions, and education. The Renwick's efforts have played a major role in heightening public appreciation of crafts and providing encouragement to those who create them. This book serves as an introduction to the world of modern crafts, exploring in both words and pictures the vibrant diversity of objects that have entered the Renwick Gallery's collection. In his essay for the book, curator-in-charge Kenneth R. Trapp traces the Renwick's history, highlighting the contributions of his predecessors and the many other people whose commitment to the gallery has ensured its success, notably the James Renwick Alliance. In his essay Howard Risatti explores our intuitive understanding of the way crafts are related to the human body and their consequent deep meaning for us. Also included are brief biographies of sixty-five artists whose work is represented in the book, among them Anni Albers, Wendell Castle, Dale Chihuly, Harvey Littleton, Peter Voulkos, and Beatrice Wood.
简介:Summary: Publisher Summary 1 "This new reference book providing detailed descriptions of the top 100 major business enterprises in China is a companion book of the recently published Biographical Dictionary of New Chinese Entrepreneurs and Business Leaders (by the same editors). Together, these two publications provide in-depth and up-to-date information for the study and understanding of the fabric of the business sector of China. Since much of the information about the top 100 companies in China is not easily found in one place and written in English, this book will undoubtedly serve as a valuable reference source for anyone interested in learning more about the most influential corporations in China. According to the Chinese edition of Fortune magazine the total revenues of the top 100 companies in China amount to 32% of China's GDP in 2007. As a whole these companies are an important force for China to become an emerging economic power of the world in the 21st century."---Dr Hwa-Wei Lee Former Chief, Asian Division, Library of Congress (Retired) Dean Emeritus, Ohio University Libraries "A unique book-length reference tool, for researchers and business leaders alike, this guide to the fast changing and emerging corporate environment in China fills a significant gap and provides a systematic and well researched treatment of the top 100 Chinese firms, Often termed the `Dragon multinationals.' Bringing together a diffused and complex information database into a reasoned single source publication is an accomplishment that will find a responsive chord among analysts and practitioners of the Chinese business world."Dr John R Mclntyre Professor of International Business and Executive Director Georgia Tech Center for International Business Education and Research, College of Management, USA "A Guide to the Top 100 Companies in China is a must for university libraries and others who want to follow the globalization of Chinese companies. The description of the most important companies in China is enlightening for those who want to follow the new economic world power and its businesses. To know your competitors, here is the book that provides the information you need." Dr Verner Worm Professor of Chinese Business and Development Asia Research Centre, Copenhagen Business School "To many Westerners, the Chinese economy is a puzzle. While Biographical Dictionary of New Chinese Entrepreneurs and Business Leaders focuses on individuals as key players, this companion work highlights China's top 100 companies in terms of their respective background, corporate structure, products and services, challenges and business strategies, and capital assets. Once you put the dots (key individuals) and the spheres (top companies) together, you'll get a better picture of the Chinese economy. Highly recommended for anyone interested in doing business with China or research on contemporary China." Mr Shixing Wen Editor-in-Chief, Chinese Librarianship Former President, Chinese American Librarians Association; and Councilor, American Library Association, USA "This is an extraordinarily useful work. Many scholars scour the press for examples to bring their China research to life. This text assembles key narratives for 100 of China's top companies and delivers essential descriptions of their histories and the challenges they face." Dr David Reid Professor of Global Business Strategy and the Thomas F Gleed Chair of Business Administration, CEO of China Clinic, Albers School of Business & Economics, Seattle University "An indispensible reference showing academic quality, A Guide to the Top 100 Companies in China is the key to knowing the dynamics of Chinese business for practitioners, scholars, and students alike. Not only were the companies delicately chosen, but the information on them is up to date and thoroughly researched. Business models, historical background, corporate structure, strategies, and competition are concisely and pertinently presented." Dr Wesley Shu Director and Associate Professor, School of Management, National Central University, Taiwan "A Guide to the Top 100 Companies in China provides a solid reference and starting point for Chinese and foreign scholars researching this emerging phenomenon. The editors make an important contribution to our understanding of the Chinese companies that inhabit China's competitive landscape." Dr Mary B Teagarden Professor of Global Strategy Editor of Thunderbird International Business Review Thunderbird School of Global Management, USA Publisher Summary 2 Under the label of 鈥渢he socialist market economy with Chinese characteristics鈥? the Chinese Government has made a firm commitment to economic reform, though still retaining tight political control. Thus, under conditions of liberal economic systems and autocratic rule, a new capitalist system is emerging in China; its top companies are managed by private entrepreneurs, government bodies or a combination of both.This book, presented in an easily accessible format, fills an important gap in the growing literature on China in the global economy and provides a research reference tool on China's top companies. It offers a comprehensive directory listing of the Top 100 corporations in China, thus enhancing the research potential on China for students, researchers and businesses. As a general reference guide to the Chinese economy, A Guide to the Top 100 Companies in China provides up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of the top Chinese enterprises. Corporations from Hong Kong and Taiwan that conduct significant business in China are also included.
