Monet consagró su larga vida y su incalculable capacidad de trabajo a la investigacion pictórica de las sensaciones que la realidad, especialmente el paisaje, ofrece al ser humano. Sus cuadros anticiparon corrientes pictoricas posteriores gracias a su estructura abierta de formas diluidas. Esta obra explora y analiza en profundidad el conjunto de la produccion de este inigualable artista.

Ben Nicholson (18941982) was one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century. A pioneer of abstract art in Britain, he first came to prominence with his famous white reliefs, but he also maintained a lifelong attachment to landscape and still-life forms, and in a career of over sixty years he produced a remarkable range of carved reliefs, paintings, drawings and prints. Norbert Lyntons subtle and sensitive study, the first full-length, comprehensive monograph on the artists life and work, was originally published in 1993 in a large edition with many supplementary illustrations. For the second, paperback, edition it is reissued in a shorter format. With the text unchanged and with over 190 illustrations, the new edition makes this standard work available at a competitive price to a new and much wider audience.

In 1950, photographer Gisele Freund embarked on a two-week trip to Mexico, but she wouldn't leave until two years later. There she met the legendary couple Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera.

Like with an exhibition, what is the point you a...

Best known for his fetes galantes such as the famous Pelerinage a l''ile de Cythere, Antoine Watteau (1684-1721) was a major proponent in the revival of the Baroque style and the formation of the Rococo movement. Watteau was inspired by the theater and in particular the commedia dellarte, hence elaborately costumed actors, dancers, and musicians were recurrent subjects; he was also fond of bucolic scenes and portraiture. Infused with romance, drama, and joie de vivre, Watteaus paintings depict a idyllic world of pleasure and entertainment.

The Brucke (established in Dresden in 1905) is, together with the Blauer Reiter in Munich, the most important movement in German expressionism. Meaning bridge in German, Brucke refers to Nietzsches belief that humanity has the potential to make a bridge to a perfect future; more concretely, the movement formed a bridge between neo-romantic and expressionist painting. This book covers the work of founding members Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Erich Heckel, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, and Fritz Bleyl, as well as works by their friends, such as Emil Nolde and Otto Mueller. Divided into four main categories (self-portraits and portraits of friends, nudes in the studio and in nature, men in the cities, and war and apocalyptic themes) this volume provides a stimulating overview of the movement.

De 1983 a 1985, Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988) et Andy Warhol (1928-1987) signent environ 160 toiles "a quatre mains", dont certaines parmi les plus grandes de leurs carrieres respectives. Basquiat admirait Warhol comme un personnage-cle du monde de l'art, initiateur d'un langage inedit et d'un rapport original a la culture populaire. En retour, Warhol a trouve chez Basquiat un interet renouvele pour la peinture. Avec lui, il a recommence a peindre manuellement, au pinceau. Un veritable dialogue visuel s'est installe entre eux, jusqu'a la creation d'oeuvres portant leurs deux noms. Accompagnant l'exposition "Basquiat x Warhol, a quatre mains", l'ouvrage revient sur cette aventure a travers textes et images. Il reunit des toiles emblematiques du duo, des travaux individuels et des realisations d'autres personnalites, tels Michael Halsband, Keith Haring, Jenny Holzer, Lady Pink, Kenny Scharf... , afin de resituer cet episode dans la scene artistique new-yorkaise des annees 1980.

This new book brings together 100 images that represent the idea of active resistance. Inspired by Vivienne Westwood's manifesto (which was first published in 2008) from 8th September 2010 for 100 days the public were asked to send in artworks, slogans and photographs that best represented her idea of Active Resistance. Each day one artwork was showcased online before the entire collection was showcased in an exhibition and this accompanying publication. As Westwood herself puts it: 'The principle idea of Active Resistance is that you get out of life what you put in and that real experience of the world involves thinking. It is not enough to follow world politics, see films and read the prize-winning best sellers. This is superficial, you need to go deep in order to understand who you are, what the world is and how things could be better. This involves culture which can only be acquired by self-education: human beings should mirror the world.'
