To study Gio Ponti?s prolific body of work is to appreciate the clear, unifying vision behind a complex creative universe. A synthesis of the arts, his creations expand intuitively with the Italian grandeur and studied lightness that defined his iconic style. Ponti?s rare capacity to move seamlessly between scales allowed him to approach the design of a teaspoon with the same conviction as he did an entire city. He was as much an architect and designer as he was a publisher, poet, and man. A treasure in its own regard, his contribution is also a distinctive landmark of Italy?s mid-century Renaissance and the modernist values it sought to realize. This new book is the most comprehensive account of Ponti?s work to date, unprecedented in scale and scope. It tracks the development of his oeuvre over 6 decades, with 136 projects indexed and reproduced in high resolution, each object framed by the context in which Ponti had created it. Like windows onto his elusive life, unpublished materials and candid imagery create new dialogues between his famous masterpieces and his lesser-known feats. A rich layer of texts, featuring an extensive biographical essay by Stefano Casciani, was produced in close collaboration with the Gio Ponti Archives offering an intimate insight on his life?s work. Materializing Ponti?s core philosophy of modernity, this book presents architecture as a performing object, a "self-illuminating" stage for his humanistic art de vivre and boundless creativity. Experience the boundless vision of one of the greatest architects, designers, and art directors of the 20th century. Shaped in close collaboration with the Gio Ponti Archives and its founder Salvatore Licitra, Gio Ponti is an immersive book scaled to his kaleidoscopic universe, featuring texts by Lisa Licitra Ponti and an extensive biographical essay by Stefano Casciani. An unprecedented tribute to Ponti?s achievements as ingenious publisher as well as timeless creator, the images and texts of this compelling XL rendition draw its reader closer to his work than ever before. // Ce nouvel ouvrage est sa monographie la plus compl te publi e ce jour, in gal e par son envergure et son format.

A bit of wear to capitals and a bit of minor soiling to boards, but a fine and handsome copy. Inner hinges a bit weak. Internally nice and clean, with just a bit of light minor occasional brownspotting. Large engraved pictorial vignette (heading: Accdemia Fiorentina) to title-page. Very nice woodcut vignettes and initials throughout. XXXI, (1), 676, (2, - Approvazioni) pp. [Viviani's Galilei-biography: pp. 397-431].
First edition of this extensive work of biographies of the people of the Florentine Academy. Among the dozens of biographies in the present work, we have the first printing of Viviani's seminal biography of Galilei, the first, and by far the most important biography of the great astronomer ever written. It is from this biography that we have most of the canonical stories and anecdotes about Galilei that keep being repeated and quoted - e.g. the legend of Galilei demonstrating to his students that Aristotle was wrong about speed of fall being related to the weight of an object by dropping balls of different mass off the leaning tower in Pisa"" the stories of how he came up with the idea of the pendulum after having watched a suspended lamp swing back and forth in the cathedral of Pisa when he was still a student there - and furthermore also how his first experiments with pendulums were carried out (by his son due to his own failing eyesight), etc., etc.Vincenzo Viviani (1622-1703) considered himself Galilei's last pupil and he spent most of his life reinstating the ideas of Galilei. He was merely 20 years old when his master died, and he was present at the bedside of the dying master as well as at the removal of his body. Thus, he was a direct witness to many of the events that took place in Galilei's life, and as such he is an indispensible biographer - especially seeing that no other person had attempted a biograhy of the great astronomer. After Galielei's death, Viviani was granted a pension by the King of France, in exchange for him writing a great, massive biography of his master. This planned massive work never came about, though, - probably due to both fear of retaliation, inabilty to reconcile geometry with the dogmas of faith, and finally a general fear of what such a biography could carry with it politically, etc. (he had apparantly also been warned of this). What we have left of the massive work is that which is present in Salvini's collection of biographies of the Florentine Academy. The work is written in the form of a letter addressed to Prince Leopoldo de'Medici, and it was not printed during Viviani's lifetime, but only in 1717, in the present book. Though not as extensive as had originally been planned, and though not printed as soon as originally planned, the work is still of the greatest importance to our knowledge about Galilei and forms the foundation for all later works on the astronomer. For the student of Galilei, it is absolutely indispensible. Being the first biography of Galilei, and the only one written by a contemporary, and one who knew him very well, the work plays a greater role in the study of the master's life than any other work.Viviani may not have been a faithful chronicler or a clear interpreter, but we will have to make do with that which he can tell us about Galilei. Though not all stories may be true, almost all of the most famous anecdotes and legends that we have about Galilei stem from the present work. After having described the various marvels, discoveries, etc. of Galilei's life, Viviani ends by describing the last hours of Galilei's life: ""il Mercoledì delli 8. de Gennaio del 1641. ab Inc. a ore 4. di notte in età di settantasette anni, mesi dieci, e giorni vent, con Filosofica, e Christiana constanza, rese l'Anima al suo Creatore, inviandosi questa a godere, e rimarar più d'apresso quelle eterne maraviglie, ch'ella con tanta avidità, & impazienza aveva procurator per mezzo di fragil artifizio d'avvicinare agli occhi di noi mortali."" (p. 423) [""On the night of Jan. 8, 1641, at about 4 o'clock at night at the age of 77 years, 10 months, and 20 days, with philosophical and Christian firmness he rendered up his soul to its Creator, sending it, as he liked to believe, to enjoy and to watch from a closer vantage point those eternal and immutable marvels which he, by means of a fragile device, had brought closer to our mortal eyes with such eagerness and impatience.""] - clearly showing the sense that Viviani had for Galilei's biblically inspired faith.The work furthermore contains several hitherto unpublished treatises on men from the famous scientific academy of Florence.

Piet Mondrian had a decisive influence on the development of painting from figuration to abstraction. On the occasion of his 150th birthday, Mondrian Evolution is dedicated to his multifaceted work and artistic development. Initially working in the tradition of late-nineteenth century Dutch landscape painting, Symbolism and Cubism subsequently took on great significance for him. It was not until the early 1920s that the artist focused on a wholly non-representational pictorial vocabulary, concentrated on the rectangular arrangement of black lines with surfaces in white and the primary colors blue, red, and yellow. In separate chapters, this path is traced through motifs such as windmills, dunes, the sea, farms reflected in the water, and plants in various forms of abstraction.

De Belgische kunstenaar Frans Masereel (1889-1972) zette zich in voor de sociale strijd van zijn tijd en onderschreef de communistische idealen, die de greep van het kapitaal op alle sectoren van het leven hekelden. In 1935 en 1936 maakte hij twee reizen naar de Sovjet-Unie om te zien of er in het Oosten wel degelijk iets nieuws aan de gang was. Dit boek beschrijft de lotgevallen van een vriend van het volk, aan de hand van zeldzame documenten en bronnen uit Russische archieven. De in 1889 in Blankenberge geboren Frans Masereel ging al snel spijbelen tijdens de lessen Schone Kunsten in Gent om de mysteries van de stad beter te kunnen doorgronden, in het gezelschap van de etser Jules De Bruycker. In 1911 verhuisde hij naar Parijs, waar hij zijn tekeningen in de pers (Les Hommes du jour, Le Rire) publiceerde dankzij de tussenkomst van de journalist Henri Guilbeaux, en waar hij zich vertrouwd maakte met de houtsnede bij een leverancier van kunstenaarsbenodigdheden. Toen Masereel in 1915 naar Zwitserland trok om nuttig werk te verrichten bij het Internationaal Comit van het Rode Kruis, maakte hij kennis met pacifistische schrijvers (Ren Arcos, Pierre Jean Jouve, Romain Rolland, Stefan Zweig). De oorlog alleen kon zijn bestaan niet rechtvaardigen door de soldaten te elimineren, dus stelde Masereel voor om de drama's ervan te graveren in de pacifistische pers (Demain, Les Tablettes, La Feuille) en in zijn twee eerste gegraveerde reeksen Sta op, doden en De doden spreken, die in 1917 werden gepubliceerd. Het jaar daarop bracht hij 25 beelden van de passie van een man uit, een beeldverslag zonder woorden in houtsneden over het thema klassenstrijd. Aangemoedigd door de schrijvers van Mitteleuropa om daarin voort te gaan, begon hij in het interbellum - parellel met zijn activiteiten als illustrator en uitgever voor Le Sablier - aan een reeks xylografische romans die we vandaag kunnen 'lezen' als een compromisloos verslag over een zieke samenleving, bedwelmd door vooruitgang en winst. Frans Masereel legde zijn beitel voorgoed neer in Nice waar hij in 1972 overleed.

Loin de se r duire des si cles de guerres et de pillages, le Moyen Age est une p riode fructueuse durant laquelle les savoirs n'ont cess de progresser. L'impulsion donn e par les moines occidentaux, grands compilateurs de savoirs et garants de la sauvegarde de l'h ritage antique, fut d terminante. N anmoins, et bien que l'astronomie et la m decine aient connu au m me moment des progr s en Occident, c'est en Orient, notamment en Inde et surtout en Chine, qu'il faut chercher l'origine de la plupart des grandes d couvertes. La num rotation moderne, le papier, la poudre, la boussole, l'horloge, l'imprimerie, sont autant d'inventions imput es leurs peuples et transmises l'Occident. De nombreux savants arabes des IXe, Xe et XIe si cles apport rent en outre des l ments d terminants dans des domaines aussi divers que l'astronomie, la g ographie et la m decine. A des milliers de kilom tres de l , les Mayas innov rent leur tour, l'heure o le reste du monde n'avait pas m me conscience de leur existence. Ce livre s'attache donc r habiliter des civilisations et des hommes que l'imaginaire collectif a rel gu s au rang d'oubli s ou d'anonymes d faut de les riger celui des pr curseurs.
