‎Armando Testa ‎

‎, Silvana Editoriale, 2024 HB, 216 pages, EN-IT edition . ISBN 9788836657704.‎

‎Ca' Pesaro opens the new 2024 exhibition season with a major exhibition dedicated to Armando Testa (1917-1992). Already present since December 2022 in the Venetian civic collections with 17 works, the creative genius from Piedmont will be the focus of a monographic exhibition that will allow people to discover and rediscover previously unseen aspects of his production. From his Turin beginnings at the Vigliardi Paravia Typographic School and with the teaching of Ezio D'Errico, the exhibition aims to reconstruct the artistic path of a protagonist of visual culture contemporary, creator of famous icons that have entered our collective imagination for years. His masterpieces are the offspring of a plurality of expressive languages, experimented during his more than 30-year career, whose modernity is today a source of inspiration for contemporary artists and which has led aesthetics scholar Gillo Dorfles to call him a "global visualiser."‎

‎, Octopus Books Ltd 1972, 1972 Hardcover, 72 pages, ENG, 290 x 220 mm, illustrations in colour. ISBN 9780706400687.‎

‎Jugendstil or Art Nouveau is an art movement that was popular in various places in Europe between 1890 and 1914, mainly as a reaction to the form-fading impressionism. Art Nouveau manifested itself mainly in utensils (glass art, books, pottery, jewellery, furniture, etc.), architecture and painting. The movement had a short but intense heyday, which expanded mainly during the belle époque. In Western Europe the style was already a thing of the past well before 1910, in the East it was able to continue for a little longer.‎

‎, Hatje Cantz, 2014 Hardback, 315x280mm, 256p, 180 bw and col. illustrations ?,English edition Fine copy. ISBN 9783775738057.‎

‎The companion volume to the large-scale exhibition at the Fondation Beyeler, featuring works on loan from collections in Europe and overseas.<br>Over the sixty years of his artistic career, Gerhard Richter (* 1932 in Dresden) has produced a standardsetting oeuvre whose thematic and stylistic diversity has no equal among the art of our time. This extensive monograph is the first to present the complete range of the numerous works Richter realized as series, cycles, and spaces. It includes figurative paintings, such as landscapes, still lifes, and portraits, many of which are based on photographs, such as the series S. and Child, a personal and intimate variation on the traditional subject of the Madonna and Child. It also features abstract works, for which Richter draws from a changing repertoire of forms and colors to produce both small and monumental paintings. This generously sized volume reveals an astonishing spectrum of Richter's paintings in all of their dimensions and techniques. ‎

‎Published to huge critical acclaim to support the major BBC television series on this ever more influential art form, this landmark book explores the key events and the key images that have marked the development of photography. At the heart of the book is a quest to understand what makes a truly great photograph. What is it that makes a photograph by Nan Goldin or Henri Cartier Bresson stand out among the millions of others taken by all of us every single day? The Genius of Photography examines the evolution of photography in its wider context: social, political, economic, technological and artistic. It also brings a critical perspective and a strong aesthetic sense to the subject. Beginning with the earliest days of the photograph in the 1840s and ending with an examination of the state of photography today and the effect that the 'digital revolution' will have, the book challenges not only how we look at a photograph but what it is in a physical sense. It examines all the different genres of photography from landscape and portraiture to news and reportage. It also tells the great stories behind many of the world's most iconic photographs and reveals the extraordinary characters - from Louis Daguerre and Cindy Sherman, Paul Strand and Robert Capa - who have made and defined this art form. Provocative and enlightening by turns, this is a major book for anyone who wants to know more about one of the most important art forms of the 21st century.‎
