Featuring more than 75 vivid reproductions of paintings by 19th-century Dutch painter Charles Leickert, this comprehensive study places Leickert in the context of artistic development in Holland and celebrates the romantic summer and winter landscapes that earned him international fame. Leickert's career is traced from Brussels to Mainz in this monograph.

The splendid color and precision that distinguished Leickert's masterpieces are showcased in this survey of his career.

Review The Prints of Vija Celmins / Metropolitan Museum of Art:

Vija Celmins (b. 1939), best known for her intensely realistic paintings and drawings, has been engaged with printmaking since the early 1960s, creating a refined body of graphic work. As a printmaker, Celmins relies on traditional intaglio, lithographic and relief processes to produce quiet scenes of ocean surfaces, desert floors, and star-filled night skies that are highly modern in their denial of conventional composition. This volume, a catalogue of Celmins's graphic work up to 2002, also features an interview with the artist and two of her closest collaborators, master printers Leslie Miller and Doris Simmelink, in which the significance of Celmins's print oeuvre is discussed.

Review Hatje Cantz Publishers  / Julian Opie: Portraits 1997-2002 Publication date: 2003-03-02
Dewey code: 709
Price: $45.00

Review Julian Opie: Portraits 1997-2002 / Hatje Cantz Publishers:

Composed of his characteristically simplified lines and shapes, Julian Opie's portraits are rendered through computer technology. Beginning with a photograph scanned into a computer, the artist uses software to edit the images and hone in on their graphic essentials. The fascinating results become icons that serve to identify the individuals with the least information possible. Whereas most of Opie's portraits feature unknowns, people drawn from his personal life, some commissioned works feature public figures like Kate Moss or Michael Schumacher. But, by identifying them in the titles only by their first names, Opie zaps these celebrities of their fame and mythic status, simplifying them down to the familiar, human shape of their faces. Portraits comes complete with a "create your own cover image" binding and a selection of miniature stickers of portraits that can be tipped onto the front cover. Published in conjunction with Codax Publisher.

Review Herbert Brandl / Hatje Cantz Publishers:

One of the most important, though largely unknown, exponents of the new painting, Herbert Brandl helped take art in a new direction in the 1980s, not least in response to a concept-based medium that had become academic. This volume documents Brandl's artistic development to date, revealing the strong analytic components of his work, and his ability to "depict depicting. ".

Review Dante Gabriel Rossetti / Phaidon Press:

Few artists have been subjected to more myth-making and misconceptions than Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882). Tales about his role as a founder of the pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and about his romantic involvements have often overshadowed his achievements as a painter in oils and watercolours. The aim of this study is to restore the artist to his rightful place as one of Victorian England's most engaging painters. It describes his life and work and attempts to re-establish Rossetti as a major force in British art.

Review Schonberg and Kandinsky: An Historic Encounter (Contemporary Music Studies) / Routledge:

The historic encounter around 1911 between the composer Arnold Schonberg and the painter Wassily Kandinsky occurred at a moment when the first wild revolts against traditional art, Dada and Futurism, had just manifested themselves. Independently of those sometimes spectacular activities, both Schonberg and Kandinsky had already concluded that the material and the compositional methods they had relied on in the past were exhausted and did not satisfy the development of their artistic ideas. Both artists had already submitted their modes of production to a critical analysis which resulted in Schonberg's Theory of Harmony and Kandinsky's Concerning the Spiritual in Art, both of 1911 - indeed the two artists had already been putting their self-criticism into practice for some time. In Schonberg's case this led to breaking with tonality; Kandinsky effected the transition to abstract painting. This book is a collection of the papers presented at the conference on Schonberg and Kandin.
