Wassily Kandinsky was undoubtedly one of the most exciting artists of the twentieth century. He brought an equal passion and commitment to his work as a painter, a theoretician and a teacher of art. After conventional beginnings in Munich, he devoted his intellectual and artistic energies to pioneering new dimensions of expression in art. He ultimately arrived at an abstract style of painting based on the inner properties of colour and form. Although Kandinsky may not be the first truly abstract artist, he was nevertheless the first to experiment with non-representational forms in a logical manner and to develop out of them a homogeneous style. His writings on art, including his ground-breaking work On the Spiritual in Art, have lost none of their significance, and the Compositions which caused such a furore at the first Blaue Reiter exhibition in 1911 are still full and dazzling today.

"Pearls is a photographic record of Simryn Gill''s ongoing bead-making project, that was begun in 1999, in which she makes books into bead necklaces. This book brings together over sixty sets of beads, each one unique and particular to the specific volume from which it has been created. Titles as far-ranging as Gandhi''s autobiography, Sylvia Plath''s The Bell Jar, The Beano Book and Che Guevara''s Bolivian Diaries form a selection of the printed matter used by the artist to create a rich and stirring collection of objects. With the inclusion of two short pieces of writing by the artist, this beautifully considered book underlines Gill''s subtle brilliance as an artist of outstanding breadth and imagination."--

Edición en castellanoNarrativas urbanas. La construcción literaria de Barcelona is a collection of thirteen essays written by different authors. It focuses on the way writers at different moments in time have reflected their own idiosyncratic view of Barcelona in their work. The book is accompanied by illustrations and photographs, and it covers a period of more than one hundred and fifty years, from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the 1980s. The literary works analysed in these essays are by Narcis Oller, Santiago Rusiñol, Josep Maria Folch i Torres, Carles Soldevila, Josep Maria de Sagarra, Merce Rodoreda, Terenci Moix, Montserrat Roig, Juan Marse, Ignacio Agusti, Eduardo Mendoza, Julia de Jodar, and others. Their personal view of Barcelona, half way between reality and fiction, is turned by a group of specialists into a literary, historical and even topographical synthesis of the city.

Pocos acontecimientos históricos tuvieron una capacidad de determinación tan fuerte sobre la trayectoria de las primeras vanguardias artísticas como la guerra de 1914. El período inmediatamente anterior al estallido de la guerra coincidio con el de maxima vitalidad de los movimientos de vanguardia, en cuya voluntad de insurreccion se anticipaba la militancia belicista por la que se pronuncio una mayoria de los artifices del arte nuevo cuando se desato la contienda. Por otro lado, la experiencia de la guerra incidio poderosamente sobre el trabajo de los artistas, no ya solo como tema de sus obras, sino igualmente como realidad que ponia de relieve contradicciones internas en el ideario de la modernidad del que participaban sus obras. La exposicion contempla el desarrollo del arte nuevo internacional en el periodo que transcurre entre 1913 y 1919 aproximadamente y establece una lectura para su interpretacion cuyas pautas vienen dadas por la guerra como circunstante de la cultura. Trata, entre otros asuntos, la mision profetica que asume el arte de vanguardia en relacion a los acontecimientos que van a determinar su crisis, la capacidad que los nuevos lenguajes descubren para convertir sus representaciones en divisa visual del belicismo, las diversas derivaciones de una escritura apocaliptica que emerge y muere en ese periodo, asi como la posicion de denuncia ante el disparate de la contienda que asumen algunos artistas.
