Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Inspired by his ranger days in Rocky Mountain National Park more than forty-five years ago as well as more recent rambles, Richard Fleck has created these descriptive essays that take readers from shimmering desert heat to snowy summits. Fleck has expanded his acclaimed book Breaking Through the Clouds (2004) to create a new book that concentrates on the intermountain American West. This edition includes counterpoint experiences in the desert, canyon lands, and dry prairie far below the summits of the lofty peaks, such as Death Valley, Grand Gulch, Grand Canyon, and the Great Sand Dunes. His literary model was Edward Abbey's Desert Solitaire and his intent is to involve readers with an equally potent but different kind of natural reality. Fleck says, ?After all, do not mountains rise out of deserts and dry lands Mountains and surrounding deserts should not be separated.? The mountains are a constant source of spiritual renewal for this author, enabling him to become more aware and whole.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The profile of Latin American abstract art in North America and Europe has dramatically increased over the past decade or so, thanks in large part to the activities of the Patricia Phelps de Cisneros Collection. However, this is the first publication to specifically address the Concrete and Neoconcrete movements, spanning the 1930s through to the 1970s, and focusing on centers of activity throughout Latin America, in cities such as Montevideo, Buenos Aires, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Caracas. In these decades, artists such as Lygia Clark, Hélio Oiticica, Lygia Pape, Jesús Soto, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Judith Lauand, Geraldo de Barros, Hermelindo Fiaminghi, Luiz Sacilotto, Willys de Castro and Ferreira Gullar infused European Concrete art with fresh energy and warmth, extending it into the realms of performance and interactive sculpture (as seen in the works of Clark, Pape and Oiticica). The book organizes this rich range of work into five thematic sections: 'Geometry,' 'Illusion,' 'Dialogue,' 'Vibration' and 'Universalism.' Accompanying an exhibition at the Reina Sofía, Concrete Invention also includes texts by several of the artists; an essay by sound artist and scholar Steve Roden; a questionnaire on the legacy of these movements answered by Luis Camnitzer, Jesús Carillo, Sofia Hernández Chong Cuy and Ana Longoni; and a series of geometric-abstract gatefolds designed for the catalogue by José León Cerrillo.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Uno de los grandes teóricos del arte de nuestros días analiza el estilo globalizado del arte y la arquitectura. Hal Foster, autor del aclamado Diseño y delito, sostiene en este nuevo y polémico ensayo que la fusión de arte y arquitectura es una característica definitoria de la cultura contemporánea. Para ello identifica y define un 'estilo global' de la arquitectura tal como la practican los grandes nombres de hoy: Foster, Rogers y Piano, un estilo al que se le pueden buscar paralelismos en Le Corbusier, Gropius o Mies van der Rohe. Para cualquiera que se interese en el arte contemporáneo, sea cual fuere su conocimiento previo del tema, El complejo arte-arquitectura resultará un punto de referencia, una guía sugerente, una fuente autorizada, y en resumen una base segura para mirar, valorar y entender lo que nos rodea. Foster comienza por describirnos una tendencia curiosa: la arquitectura cada día parece más arte, y el arte cada día parece más arquitectura. Su crítica recorre ese 'complejo' que da título al libro.…
