As a keen observer of American society, he delved into the core themes of consumerism, materialism, media, and celebrity. Drawing inspiration from contemporary advertisements, comic strips, consumer products, and Hollywood's most iconic figures, Warhol challenged the traditional notion of artistic subject matter. Through his work, Warhol elevated everyday objects like a Campbell's soup can and a Coca-Cola bottle to the same level of artistic significance as traditional still life paintings. At the same time, he redefined the role of the artist. He famously declared, \"I want to be a machine,\" and he systematically reduced his own authorship by employing mass-production techniques and working with numerous assistants in his studio, known as the Factory. This book presents Warhol's diverse and prolific body of work, which transformed the boundaries between \"high\" and \"low\" art and fused concepts of living, producing, and consuming that continue to be central concerns in modern life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 558g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 264 x 215 x 13 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783836543897                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Klaus Honnef","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44103569441018,"sku":"9783836543897","price":10.71,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/753c935fef1ef68f7c531d76d2b72484.jpg?v=1620416947"},{"product_id":"instinct-to-draw-john-ruskins-drawings-in-the-ashmolean-museum","title":"Instinct to Draw: John Ruskin's Drawings in the Ashmolean Museum","description":"\u003cp\u003e\n                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 208 pages\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 01 April 2021\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ashmolean Museum\u003cbr\u003e\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e\n                          \u003cp\u003eHighlights of the works of John Ruskin held in the collection at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford.

Bosch's paintings are a tapestry of grotesque scenes, populated with fantastical creatures succumbing to all manner of human desire, fantasy, and angst. One of his greatest inventions was to elevate the figural and scenic representations known as drolleries, which use the monstrous and the grotesque to illustrate sin and evil, from the margins of illuminated manuscripts to large-format panel paintings. Alongside traditional hybrids of man and beast, such as centaurs and mythological creatures like unicorns, devils, dragons, and griffins, Bosch's creations also featured countless mixed creatures freely invented by the artist. These subsidiary scenes served as a means to illustrate proverbs and figures of speech commonly used in Bosch's day. In his renowned Temptation of St Anthony triptych, for instance, Bosch depicted a messenger devil wearing ice skates, evoking the popular expression that the world was \"skating on ice,\" meaning it had gone astray. In his pictorial translation of proverbs, particularly, Bosch was a true innovator. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBosch—whose real name was Jheronimus van Aken—was widely copied and imitated, with the number of surviving works by his followers exceeding his own production by more than tenfold. Today, only 20 paintings and eight drawings can confidently be attributed to Bosch's oeuvre. However, his legacy continues to endure as a visionary, a portrayer of dreams and nightmares, and the painter par excellence of hell and its demons. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn anticipation of the upcoming 500th anniversary of Bosch's death, this comprehensive book, featuring brand new photography of recently restored paintings, presents a comprehensive coverage of the artist's complete works. The book delves into Bosch's life, influences, and artistic techniques, shedding light on the rich tapestry of his creations. It explores his imaginative world, filled with intricate details, symbolic imagery, and a profound understanding of human nature. Bosch's paintings invite viewers to embark on a journey through the depths of the human psyche, where nightmares and fantasies intertwine, and where the line between good and evil becomes blurred. Through his masterful use of color, light, and composition, Bosch creates a visual language that is both haunting and captivating, leaving a lasting impact on art history. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn conclusion, Hieronymus Bosch's paintings stand as a testament to his unique vision and artistic brilliance. His ability to blend realism and fantasy, to explore the darker aspects of human nature, and to create a visual language that is both haunting and captivating has made him one of the most influential painters of the Renaissance. This comprehensive book, published in celebration of his 500th anniversary, provides a valuable insight into the life and work of this remarkable artist, allowing us to appreciate his enduring legacy and the profound impact he has had on the world of art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4462g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 327 x 463 x 54 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783836526296                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stefan Fischer","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44103558758650,"sku":"9783836526296","price":107.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/52b0fcf3a9fca6f26554348b18f4ff46.jpg?v=1620417964"},{"product_id":"anti-portraiture-challenging-the-limits-of-the-portrait","title":"Anti-Portraiture: Challenging the Limits of the Portrait","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThe portrait has traditionally been seen as a representation of a human subject, but recent scholarship has challenged this notion and proposed new conceptual models and theories to analyse twenty-first century subjectivity.

This book provides a selection of key Klee works to introduce his style and influence. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 96 pages\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 08 September 2020\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taschen GmbH\u003cbr\u003e                          \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaul Klee (1879-1940) is widely regarded as one of the most intellectually rigorous and prolific figures in 20th-century European art. Despite often working on a small scale, his works are celebrated for their sophisticated conceptual depth and exquisite attention to line, color, and tone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKlee's artistic development was significantly influenced by his early association with the German expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter, particularly through his transformative 1914 trip to Tunisia, which revolutionized his approach to color. Following the war, he assumed a teaching position at the renowned Bauhaus school, where his lectures, like his evolving practice, emphasized the symbolic potential inherent in shade, line, and geometry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKlee's artistic inspiration was drawn from a diverse range of sources, including Cubism, poetry, music, literature, language, and the simple yet profound beauty of children's art. Renowned for his iconic stick figures, he often combined the appearance of untutored naivety with rigorous composition and profound intellectual significance. This book offers a curated selection of key Klee works to introduce his unique style and profound influence. From sun-drenched landscapes to enigmatic wordplay, explore a world that is simultaneously simplistic, symbolic, and dazzlingly colorful.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 578g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 268 x 217 x 14 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783836501101                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Susanna Partsch","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44103559872762,"sku":"9783836501101","price":10.71,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/60ae1626b32419bcb99eb993c29eae34.jpg?v=1620463889"},{"product_id":"schiele","title":"Schiele","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003eEgon Schiele was a pioneer of Austrian Expressionism and one of the most startling portrait painters of the 20th century, known for his graphic style, figural distortion, and defiance of conventional standards of beauty.

His graphic style, figural distortion, and defiance of conventional standards of beauty set him apart from his contemporaries. Schiele's mentor, Gustav Klimt, introduced him to the Art Nouveau style, but he quickly developed his own gritty and confrontational aesthetic of sharp lines, lurid shades, and mannered, elongated figures. His prolific portraits and self-portraits stunned the Viennese establishment with an unprecedented psychological and sexual intensity, favoring erotic, exposing, or unsettling poses in which he or his sitters cower on the floor, languish with legs akimbo, glower at the viewer, and thrust their genitalia into the foreground. His models are at times skeletal and sickly, at other times strong and sensual. Many contemporaries found Schiele's work to be not only ugly but morally objectionable; in 1912, the artist was briefly imprisoned for obscenity. Today, his oeuvre is celebrated for its revolutionary approach to the human figure and for its direct and particularly fervent, almost furious brand of draftsmanship. This book presents key Schiele works to introduce his short but urgent career and his profound contribution to the development of modern art, which reaches right through to such contemporary talents as Tracey Emin and Jenny Saville.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 564g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 217 x 266 x 14 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783836504423                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reinhard Steiner","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44103566393594,"sku":"9783836504423","price":10.71,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/84b0f968a164befa98631b8362cde3bb.jpg?v=1620463907"},{"product_id":"bacon","title":"Bacon","description":"\u003cp\u003e\n                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 96 pages\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 March 2021\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taschen GmbH\u003cbr\u003e\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e\n                          \u003cp\u003eA concise and gripping encounter with Francis Bacon, one of the most individual, powerful, and disturbing painters of the 20th century.

At the age of 40, he was a struggling artist who struggled to sell a single painting. However, Time magazine featured him on its cover when he turned 80, and today, Hopper is widely regarded as a giant of modern expression with an unparalleled sense of mood and place. Hopper's work often explores the modern city experience, with vivid color juxtapositions, stark, theatrical lighting, and harshly contoured figures. His scenes are marked by an eerie disquiet, alienation, loneliness, and psychological tension, although his rural or coastal scenes can offer a counterpoint of tranquility or optimism.

His groundbreaking concept of \"Neo-plasticism\" saw him embrace a painting style characterized by the use of solely primary colors against a grid of black vertical and horizontal lines, with a white base background. Mondrian's vision was to create a society where art loses its standalone existence, serving instead as a means to attain the ultimate realization of \"beauty.\" Throughout his career, Mondrian resided in various cities, including Amsterdam, Paris, London, and New York, drawing inspiration from the vibrant urban landscapes and the dynamic rhythms of modern music, particularly jazz. In 1917, he co-founded De Stijl, initially as a publication and subsequently evolving into a circle of practitioners dedicated to a rigorous and geometric art focused on horizontals and verticals. This introductory book showcases Mondrian's distinctive and pioneering artistic oeuvre, serving as an enduring source of inspiration for fashion, art, architecture, and design. From the album covers of White Stripes to the iconic dresses of Yves Saint Laurent, Mondrian's influence can be observed in numerous creative fields. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 562g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 268 x 218 x 14 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783836553308                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Susanne Deicher","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44103562887418,"sku":"9783836553308","price":10.71,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/9c9bc2d95449262ff013aef28a97427d.jpg?v=1620646694"},{"product_id":"bosch","title":"Bosch","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003eHieronymus Bosch's masterpieces remain enigmatic and compelling, captivating art historians, fashion designers, rock stars, writers, and punk rockers.

Their intricate, allegorical, and often startling content has captivated not only art historians, but also fashion designers, rock stars, writers, and punk rockers, as well as countless modern and contemporary artist successors. Although rooted in the Old Netherlandish tradition, Bosch developed a highly subjective, richly suggestive style to render both the celestial bliss of heaven and the grotesque tortures of hell, most famously and meticulously excecuted in The Garden of Earthly Delights. Here, as in his other known works, his artistic language combined religious humility with a razor-sharp wit, often playing off pictorial versions of contemporary proverbs or figures of speech.

Prior to that, Laaksonen, better known as Tom of Finland, enjoyed an avid cult following within the international gay community but remained largely unknown to a broader audience. In 2009, TASCHEN further explored the realm of Tom with the ultimate comprehensive overview: Tom of Finland XXL, a magnificent large collectors edition featuring over 1,000 images, spanning six decades of the artist's career. The collection was meticulously assembled from collections across the United States and Europe with the invaluable assistance of the Tom of Finland Foundation. It encompassed a vast array of drawings, paintings, and sketches, many of which had never been reproduced before. Additionally, other images had previously been seen out of context, allowing them to be presented in the sequential order intended by Tom for optimal artistic appreciation and erotic impact. The elegant oversized volume showcased the full spectrum of Tom's talent, encompassing delicate portraits, candid expressions of sexual pleasure, and tender expressions of love, as well as haunting tributes to young men affected by AIDS. To complement the visual feast, eight commissioned essays by renowned figures such as Camille Paglia, John Waters, Armistead Maupin, Todd Oldham, and others delved into Tom's social and personal impact. Furthermore, an insightful scholarly analysis of individual drawings by art historian Edward Lucie-Smith provided deeper insights into the artist's creative process. While Tom of Finland XXL was a remarkable achievement, one notable aspect was its relatively high price tag. However, the wait is over, as the new Tom of Finland XXL is now available, still boasting its substantial size and encompassing all the original content. What's even more remarkable is that it comes at a fraction of the original price, making it more accessible to a wider audience. So, whether you're a seasoned admirer of Tom's work or a newcomer seeking to explore his extraordinary legacy, this new edition is a must-have for art enthusiasts and collectors alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3730g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 351 x 261 x 50 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783836527248\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Waters,Camille Paglia,Todd Oldham,Armistead Maupin,Edward Lucie-Smith","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44103568392442,"sku":"9783836527248","price":57.12,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/e899485b3d185ceeb7b288c649fc24af.jpg?v=1620692676"},{"product_id":"matisse","title":"Matisse","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003eHenri Matisse (1869–1954) was a French artist known for his vibrant paintings, drawings, sculptures, lithographs, stained glass, and collages.

As he grew older and his physical abilities declined, he developed his signature cut-out medium, allowing him to continue creating art despite his limited mobility.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMatisse's subjects were diverse, ranging from traditional nudes, portraits, and figures in landscapes, Oriental scenes, and interior views to more unconventional subjects. However, it was his bold use of color and fluid draftsmanship that truly set him apart as a 20th-century master. His palette was a symphony of vivid blues, amethyst purples, egg-yolk yellows, and countless shades beyond, liberating his work from a strict representation of reality and seeking instead a \"vital harmony,\" often drawing inspiration from music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis comprehensive and meticulously illustrated publication offers a deep insight into the artist's creative journey. It includes preparatory studies, full-page reproductions, and enlarged details, allowing readers to explore Matisse's artistic process in greater detail. From the chromatic brilliance of his Fauve period to the invention of gouache cut-outs at the age of 80, each image has been reproduced with painstaking care to create a viewing experience worthy of the expressionist par excellence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHenri Matisse's legacy as a bard of color continues to inspire and captivate audiences worldwide. His unwavering belief in the power of art to transcend boundaries and evoke emotions remains a testament to his profound influence on the art world. This lavishly illustrated publication is a must-have for anyone seeking to appreciate the brilliance and innovation of one of history's greatest artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 560g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 263 x 215 x 13 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783836529044\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Volkmar Essers","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44103561740538,"sku":"9783836529044","price":10.71,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/23ce7f313478b2495e32f1e615b8c056.jpg?v=1620692683"},{"product_id":"lichtenstein","title":"Lichtenstein","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003eIn the late 1950s, Roy Lichtenstein burst onto the New York art scene with his use of industrial production techniques and everyday imagery, reflecting and satirizing American mass media and consumer culture.

His diverse range of creations, from court portraits of the Spanish royals to haunting scenes of conflict and suffering, has made him one of Spain's most revered and controversial artists. Goya's mastery of form and light is evident in his works, and his influence can be seen in the works of artists across different eras and genres.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBorn in Fuendetodos, Spain, in 1746, Goya began his artistic journey by apprenticing to the Spanish royal family in 1774. During this time, he produced etchings and tapestry cartoons for grand palaces and royal residences across the country. He was also patronized by the aristocracy, commissioning portraits of the rich and powerful with his increasingly fluid and expressive style.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, Goya's artistic journey took a dark turn after a bout of illness. He moved towards darker etchings and drawings, introducing a nightmarish realm of witches, ghosts, and fantastical creatures. It was his horrific depictions of conflict that truly made an impact on the world. Executed between 1810 and 1820, \"The Disasters of War\" was inspired by the atrocities committed during the Spanish struggle for independence from the French. This series of paintings penetrated the very heart of human cruelty and sadism, with its bleak tones, agitated brushstrokes, and aggressive use of Baroque-like light and dark contrasts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGoya's subject matter was unprecedented in its brutality and honesty. His paintings depicted the suffering of soldiers, civilians, and prisoners of war, often in grotesque and unsettling ways. The 3rd of May 1808 in Madrid, one of his most famous works, is a heart-stopping image of a dying soldier on the battlefield.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this introductory book from TASCHEN Basic Art 2.0, we set out to explore the full arc of Goya's remarkable career. From his early days as a court painter to his later years as a deathly seer of suffering and grotesquerie, Goya's art reflects his evolving artistic vision. We encounter such famed portraits as Don Manuel Osorio Manrique de Zúñiga, the dazzling Naked Maja, and The 3rd of May 1808 in Madrid, which showcase Goya's ability to capture the essence of his subjects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough his art, Goya challenged societal norms and pushed the boundaries of what was acceptable. He depicted the horrors of war, the suffering of the poor, and the injustices of the world with a raw and unflinching honesty that resonated with audiences of his time and continues to do so today. Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes remains a towering figure in the world of art, and his legacy continues to inspire and fascinate artists around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 560g\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 263 x 218 x 14 (mm)\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783836532686\\n                            \\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rainer \u0026 Rose-Marie Hagen","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44103558070522,"sku":"9783836532686","price":10.71,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/b38a2fb4bf0318fe7801a3370a619b48.jpg?v=1620692693"},{"product_id":"untitled-2020","title":"Untitled: 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003eThis catalog accompanies an exhibition at Punta della Dogana curated by Thomas Houseago, Muna El Fituri, and Caroline Bourgeois, featuring over 60 artists and a reconstruction of Houseago's studio. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 224 pages\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 04 September 2020\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Marsilio\u003cbr\u003e\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis extensive catalog accompanies an exhibition at Punta della Dogana, curated by Thomas Houseago, Muna El Fituri, and Caroline Bourgeois.

Many of the artists featured in the exhibition use their bodies as a means of expression, creating works that are both physically and metaphorically powerful.

Giger's biomechanical arsenal of creatures, which merged hybrids of human and machine into images of haunting power and dark psychedelia, was a popular expression of his vision. His visions drew on demons of the past, harking back to his earliest childhood fears and evoking mythologies for the future. They gave expression to the collective fears and fantasies of his age, including fear of the atom, pollution, and wasted resources, and a future in which our bodies depend on machines for survival.

From his landscape painting to erotic works to the controversial ceiling for the Great Hall of the University of Vienna, we see how Klimt's blend of tradition and daring divided the press and public, with some condemning him as a pornographer and others hailing him as a modern master.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4318g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 263 x 350 x 52 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783836566612                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tobias G.

Despite a cancer diagnosis in 1941, increasing frailty, and the confines of a wheelchair, the indomitable Frenchman never stopped in his quest to make art. With what he called une seconde vie, a second life, he embarked on a remarkable collage period, cutting and pasting pieces of colored paper into gouaches découpées of birds, plants, flowers, and the female form.\r\nEmphasizing color and contrast, the cut-out technique generated both striking lines and vivid juxtapositions. In works such as Icarus (1943), The Blue Nude (1952), The Snail (1953), and The Sheaf (1953), clean forms and elemental structures power a compositional force that belies the work’s decorative appeal, at once tightly organized and infectious with joie de vivre. As his work progressed, Matisse’s excitement with his results fueled ever-larger pieces, advancing from small works to vast wall-sized murals.\r\nAs his final years approached, Matisse reveled in the simplicity and brilliance of these pieces, avowing, “Only what I created after the illness constitutes my real self: free, liberated…” In this essential introductory book, we revisit this joyful final chapter of Matisse’s long and prodigious career, examining how the cut-outs encapsulated the artist’s many years exploring the possibilities of composition, form, and color.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 560g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 264 x 217 x 14 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783836534277\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gilles Neret","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44103561773306,"sku":"9783836534277","price":10.71,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/93a2ec8db25512c5e8205f36d1f998e3.jpg?v=1620701980"},{"product_id":"mike-kelley-memory-ware-a-survey","title":"Mike Kelley - Memory Ware.
