Modern Art 1870–2000. A History from Impressionism to Today (Bibliotheca Universalis)
Most art historians agree that the modern art adventure first developed in the 1860s in Paris. A circle of painters, whom we now know as Impressionists, began painting pictures with rapid, loose brushwork. They turned to everyday street life for subjects, instead of overblown heroic scenes, and they escaped the power of the Salon by organizing their own independent exhibitions.After this first assault on the artistic establishment, there was no holding back. In a constant desire to challenge, innovate, and inspire, one modernist style supplanted the next: Symbolism, Expressionism, Futurism, Dada, abstract art, renewed Realism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, Pop, Minimal and conceptual practice.This indispensable overview traces the restless energy of modern art with a year-by-year succession of the groundbreaking artworks that shook standards and broke down barriers. Introductory essays outline the most significant and influential movements alongside explanatory texts for each major work and its artist.

Impressionist Art 1860-1920
Brushwork revolution: The neglected champions of Impressionism. It was a dappled and daubed harbor scene that gave Impressionism its name. When Impression, Sunrise by Claude Monet was exhibited in April 1874, critics seized upon the work's title and its loose stylistic rendering of light and motion upon water to deride this new, impressionistic, tendency in art. As with many seminal art movements, the critics got their comeuppance. Today, Impressionism is close contender for the world's favorite period of painting. With blockbuster exhibitions, record-breaking auction prices, and packed museums, the works once dismissed as unfinished or imprecise are now beloved for their atmospheric evocation of time and place, as well as the stylistic flair of rapid brushstrokes upon canvas. Despite its popularity and a whole host of publications, many areas and artists of Impressionism remain inadequately researched. This TASCHEN book fills the gap, raising the profile of unjustly neglected pioneers such as Berthe Morisot, Lucien Pissarro, and Gustave Caillebotte, while exploring the characteristics of Impressionism, from painting en plein air to vivid color contrasts, not only in the movement's native France but also across the rest of Europe and North America.

Hans Werner Holzwarth. Modern Art 1870–2000. Impressionism to Today
Modern Art. A History from Impressionism to Today.Большинство искусствоведов сходятся во мнении, что приключения в современном искусстве впервые зародились в 1860-х годах в Париже. Кружок художников, которых мы теперь знаем как импрессионистов, начал писать картины быстрой, рыхлой кистью. Они обратились к повседневной уличной жизни вместо раздутых героических сцен, и они избежали власти Салона, организовав свои собственные независимые выставки. В постоянном стремлении бросать вызов, вводить новшества и вдохновлять один модернистский стиль вытеснил другой: символизм, экспрессионизм, футуризм, дадаизм, абстрактное искусство, обновленный реализм, сюрреализм, абстрактный экспрессионизм, поп, минимализм и концептуальные практики. Неугомонная энергия современного искусства с чередой из года в год новаторских работ, потрясающих стандарты и ломающих барьеры. Во вступительных очерках описываются наиболее значимые и влиятельные движения, а также пояснительные тексты для каждой крупной работы и ее исполнителя.Most art historians agree that the modern art adventure first developed in the 1860s in Paris.

Fiell Charlotte, Fiell Peter 1000 Chairs
More than any other piece of furniture, the chair has been subjected to the wildest dreams of the designer. The particular curve of a backrest, or the twist of a leg, the angle of a seat or the color of the entire artifact; each element reflects the stylistic consciousness of an era. From Gerrit Rietveld and Alvar Aalto to Verner Panton and Eva Zeisel, from Art Nouveau to International Style, from Pop Art to Postmodernism, the history of the chair is so complex that it requires a comprehensive encyclopedic work to do it full justice. They are all here: Thonet's bentwood chairs and Hoffmann's sitting-machines, Marcel Breuer's Wassily chair and Ron Arad's avant-garde armchairs. Early designers and pioneers of the modern chair are presented alongside the most recent innovations in seating. This dedicated compendium displays each chair as pure form, along with biographical and historical information about the pieces and their designers. An illuminating tome for design aficionados and an essential reference for collectors!
