This career-spanning exhibition catalog reveals the enormous artistic achievements--both individual and shared--of two of the greatest pioneers of twentieth-century modernism. Featuring more than two hundred and fifty works, including paintings, photographs, drawings, textiles and furniture, this essential volume traces the creative development of Josef and Anni Albers--both instrumental figures in the development of modernism and abstract art. Illustrated profusely throughout, this book features contributions from leading experts in chapters exploring the couple's relationship and important aspects of their professional partnership, including their meeting at the Bauhaus School and their influential years at Black Mountain College in North Carolina. Wide-ranging essays examine topics such as the influence of Pre-Colombian art; Josef's masterwork Homage to the Square; Anni's jewelry and works on paper; Josef's famed classes at Yale University; and Anni's years as a graphic designer after her husband's death. Both artists are celebrated for their lasting achievements in their respective fields--Josef for his color theory classes at Yale, Anni for her innovative use of unconventional materials. Readers will come away with an appreciation for the Albers' experimentation and innovation; their collaboration and teamwork; their dedication to education and mentorship; and the many ways their work challenged.

Главный герой этой книги – дракон. Среди множества мифологических и сказочных существ дракон занимает особое место. Этот образ пришел к нам из мглы доисторических времен, когда еще и времен-то не было. Конечно, по ведомству зоологии такой персонаж не числится. Зато он занимает почетное место в древних религиях и легендах народов мира. Здесь можно познакомиться с драконами Библии, Востока (китайскими, японскими, иранскими), Западной Европы и Руси – очень разными по облику, характеру и отношению к человеку.

This catalogue accompanies Timur Novikov's 2013 exhibition. Contains fabric works, ink drawings and film stills from his extensive oeuvre. A comprehensive exhibition of work by Russian artist Timur Novikov (1958–2002), co-curated by his step-daughter Masha Novikova-Savelyeva. Influential in Russia during the 1980s and 1990s, Novikov is best known for his distinct style of applique – whereby fabric motifs are sewn onto larger pieces of cloth. Like many progressive artists of his generation in Russia before the break-up of the Soviet Union, Novikov worked underground, first with a collective known as the Fellowship of Experimental Fine Art (1981) and then in his own group, the New Artists. They were postmodern in many ways, combining fine art with music, costume design, cinema and performance, associated in particular with the band Kino for which Novikov was a designer. Includes texts by both Timur Novikov and Jonathon Watkins, Ikon's Director.
