In den WarenkorbFirst Edition. An exceptional paperback copy. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 239 pages; 239 p. : ill. (some col.) ; 30 cm. Gustav Stickley (1858-1942) is an iconic character and one of the most influential figures of the Ameri…can Arts & Crafts movement. A self-made man whose furniture company, Craftsman Workshops, and the seminal magazine he founded in 1901, The Craftsman, held wide-ranging influence over American interior design and decorative arts for decades. Though best-known as a designer of functional yet beautifully crafted wooden furniture, Stickley was also an entrepreneur and brilliant manager who assembled a talented team of collaborators to produce lamps, metalwork, textiles, plans for houses, and interiors. This is the first ever authoritative and comprehensive monograph on the life and career of Stickley, and constitutes an essential contribution to the field of American Arts & Crafts and decorative arts. It is generously illustrated with archival and specially commissioned photographs of furniture and objects, as well as people and places central to Stickley's life. David Cathers is one of the most widely consulted scholars on Stickley, and this book gathers together years of his research and expertise. Gustav Stickley includes a chronology, bibliography and detailed biographical information on all of Stickley's significant collaborators, making it an indispensable research volume, as well as a sheer pleasure into which to delve. 2 Kg.

Lagerspuren; Umschlag mit minimalen Läsuren. - Englisch. - This book covers, in narrative as well as in illustrations drawn from a wide range of works of art, the legends conne…cted with the siege and destruction of Troy: the Judgment of Paris and the Abduction of Helen, the Sacrifice of Iphigenia, the ten years' war and the deeds of Achilles and Hector, the Fall of Troy, the homecoming and murder of Agamemnon and the revenge of Orestes, the wanderings of Odysseus, and the adventures of Aeneas leading to the foundation of Rome. In her narrative, the author has not only drawn upon the principal ancient sources, the Iliad, the Odyssey, the Greek tragedians and the Aeneid, but she also describes in detail the numerous variations and additions-such as the tale of Troilus and Cressida-which were introduced by the medieval romances. The legends of Troy have inspired innumerable artists throughout the centuries, and the 190 illustrations which have been selected to accompany the text range from Greek vase paintings and Roman frescoes and medieval miniatures and tapestries to paintings and drawings by artists of the Renaissance and of later times. Two very useful Appendices list works of art and works of literature dealing with themes drawn from the Trojan legends.

Physical description; 350 pages: illustrations (chiefly color); 30 cm. Notes; Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary; "The Chinese Art Book… examines the art of the oldest continuous civilisation on earth. Full of surprises for the reader new to Chinese art as well as for specialists, its unique arrangement breaks new ground by pairing works that speak to one another in unexpected historical, stylistic and cultural ways. Visually exciting pages allow each object to stand alone and at the same time to be viewed in conjunction with a carefully selected companion, producing illuminating and often inspiring pairings. The dialogue between each couple invites meanings that often go far beyond those of the individual works. Every form of Chinese visual art is featured - painting, calligraphy, sculpture, ceramics, figurines, jades, bronzes, gold and silver, photography, video, installation and performance art. The works date from Neolithic cultures of the fourth millennium BC to the most recent contemporary art being produced in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and the West" -- Dust jacket.

Concise descriptive essays place each work in context, and cross-references lead the reader on a fascinating journey through Chinese art history. The Chinese Art Book features an introductory essay by Colin Mackenzie, Senior Curator of Chinese Art at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, an accessible summary of Chinese political and cultural history, a comprehensive glossary defining technical terms, and an illustrated timeline.
