Alfons Mucha is known largely for having originated Art Nouveau, when his poster of the actress Sarah Bernhardt became a legendary icon of the movement. Mucha went on to design hundreds of pieces in the decorative arts field, but later distanced himself from the style he pioneered, devoting his time and energy to painting. This book presents the full array of Mucha's artistic contributions-not only his posters and jewelry designs but also his design for the pavilion of Bosnia and Herzegovina at the 1900 World's Fair. The book also includes his works on canvas, which include pastels and frescoes, and his magnum opus, The Slavic Epic, a series of 20 paintings depicting the history of his native people. A stunning selection of 700 color illustrations is accompanied with essays that explore Mucha's style and inspirations, his transition away from the decorative arts, and his forays into photography. Fans of Art Nouveau will treasure this dazzling and unique study of the artist and his contributions to design and illustration.

Nederlandstalige catalogus Petrus Christus: Renaissance Master of Bruges, paru a l'occasion de l'exposition organisee au Metropolitan Museum of Art a New York ( 14 avril-31 juillet 1994 ). Etat excellent. prima staat ! Petrus Christus als een kunstenaar met heel eigen gevoeligheden. Anders dan Van Eyck, die in dienst van de Bourgondische hertogen werkte, vond Christus zijn clientèle onder de burgers en de rijke buitenlandse kooplieden die zich in Brugge hadden gevestigd. Om die reden weerspiegelt zijn werk in menig opzicht de artistieke normen van zijn tijd op een veelomvattender wijze dan de kunst van Van Eyck, en is de studie van zijn leven en werk van bijzonder belang voor een beter begrip van de vroege kunst in de Nederlanden.

Essay over de invloed van het cultuurpessimisme van de Duitse filosoof op het werk van de Nederlandse schilder (1900-1983).

"This book is the first to describe the growing convergence during the last decade towards a new classical style - a return to painting and building within the western classical tradition. Often misread as Neo-Conservatism, this style cuts across the socio-political spectrum as a radical departure from Modernism. Like the revolutionary classicism of the 1790s and the Free-Style Classicism of the 1900s, it has social and moral roots and is variable in genre. With his customary style and originality, Jencks places this international movement in a historical context and defines the intentions which inform it, the rules which govern it, and the salient characteristics of its various manifestations. In art, five major trends are distinguished: Metaphysical Classicism, which includes Carlo Maria Mariani, Gerard Garouste and Malcolm Morley; Narrative Classicism, which embraces the work of Hockney and Kitaj; Allegorical Classical as exemplified by the work of, among others, Stone Roberts, Bruno Civitico and Lincoln Perry; Realist Classicism, including artists as diverse as John De Andrea and Ben Johnson; and Classical Sensibility, which covers, among others, Avigdor Arikha, Michael Andrews and Milet Andrejevic. Architecture is split into four major groups - the Fundamentalists, Revivalists, Urbanists and Eclectics - and the work of architects as diverse as Takefumi Aida, Leon Krier, Robert Venturi, James Stirling and Michael Graves is discussed."--BOOK JACKET.
