Gauguin's search for pristine originality and unadulterated nature.
After starting a career as a bank broker, Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) turned to painting only at age twenty-five. After initial successes within the Impressionist circle, he broke with Vincent van Gogh and subsequently-when private difficulties caused him to become restless-embarked on a peripatetic life, wandering first through Europe and finally, in the search for pristine originality and unadulterated nature, to Tahiti.
The paintings created from this time to his death in 1903 brought him posthumous fame. In pictures devoid of any attempt at romantically disguising the life style of the primitive island peoples, Gauguin was able to convey the magical effect that both the landscapes and life of the natives-their body language, charm and beauty-had on him. Wearying of his reputation as a South Sea painter, Gauguin finally determined to return to France, but died of syphilis on the Marquis Islands before his departure.

The Belarusian painter Marc Chagall is widely regarded as epitomizing the "painter as poet". The worldwide admiration he commanded remains unparalleled by any artist of the century.
Chagall's paintings, steeped in mythology and mysticism, portray colourful dreams and tales that are deeply rooted in his Russian Jewish origins. The memories and yearning they evoke recall his native Vitebsk, and the great events that mark the life of ordinary people: birth, love, marriage and death. They tell of a world full of everyday miracles - in the room of lovers, on the streets of Vitebsk, beneath the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Heaven and earth seem to meet in a topsy-turvy world in which whimsical figures of people and animals float through the air with gravity-defying serenity.

This study describes the history of Impressionism, and of Neo- and Post-Impressionism, in France; it also affords an overview of related artistic developments elsewhere in Europe and in North America.

Volume I deals with France. The book aims not only to deal with the illustrious names - Monet, Renoir, Manet, Pissarro, Sisley, Degas, Cezanne, Gauguin, van Gogh, Seurat, Signac - but also to present little-known artists who were important for Impressionism, among them Gustave Caillebotte, a significant painter whose work was not `discovered` till a century after his death. The monograph includes 17 of his paintings. Others included are Bracque-mond, Cross, Forain, Gonzales, Guillaumin, Lebourg, Lepine, Luce, Morisot, Raffaelli and Vignon.

Volume II deals with painting elsewhere in Europe and in North America that was inspired by French Impressionism or evolved parallel to it. Though this art may not always be strictly Impressionist, it nonetheless owed a debt to the French artists even when their style was translated into a different national artistic idiom. Volume II also features a reference section including brief biographies, bibliographies and photographs of 236 artists, as well as numerous entries on other movements, critics, publications and locations.

This book attempts to map out Picasso's entire output, in paintings and drawings, etchings and lithographs, sculptures and ceramics - from his precocious boyhood beginnings in Malaga to the late work by the old savage of Mougins. Author Carsten-Peter Warneke follows Picasso from his days an art student in Corunna to the revered old age of a world-famous master. He places a particular emphasis on recurring themes and formal strands in the оeuvre, coming to new and interesting conclusions.

From The Book of Kells to Boccaccio's Decameron and from the Vienna Genesis to Dante's Divine Comedy, to open Codices illustres is to open the door into a precious, private world. Now in a new format, this radiant book brings you face-to-face with 167 of the most exquisite and important manuscripts of the medieval age.
Presented in brilliant large-format reproductions, these paradigms of miniature painting and illumination from the 4th century to 1600 were once the property of some of the greatest power players in history. Now art-historical treasures, they are worth many millions and typically tucked away in private collections or closely-guarded archives - until now.
Although the focus of this collection is on European manuscripts, examples from Mexican, Persian, and Indian tradition illustrate the refinement and intricacy of manuscript illumination in non-European cultures. An informative synopsis for each manuscript orients the reader at a glance, while a 36 page appendix contains biographies of the artists, as well as an extensive bibliography, an index and a glossary for technical terms.

Книга об испанском живописце, рисовальщике, гравере, скульпторе, керамисте, писателе Пабло Пикассо (1881-1973). Это, несомненно, наиболее многосторонний и самый гениальный художник ХХ века. Его талант проявился очень рано. Широко известны его работы "Девочка на шаре", "Авиньонские девицы", Амбруаз Воллар" и другие.
Он пробовал свои силы во всех видах художественного творчества, умел приспосабливаться к новейшим течениям в искусстве, равно как и предвосхищать и создавать их или оказывать на них влияние. Благодаря своей независимости и универсальности, Пикассо стал первопроходцем современного искусства. Эта способность работать одновременно в разных во многом противоположных стилях есть проявление гениальности художника.
Издание состоит из десяти глав, рассказывающих о жизни художника и об истории создания каждой картины, представленной в издании. В конце книги приводится хронология жизни и творчества мастера, проиллюстрированная документальными фотографиями, а также библиография избранных трудов о Пикассо.
