Underværket - Christian Lollike - Bog - Kronstork - Plusbog.dk

Christian Lollike provokerer. Stiller spørgsmål til tidens store udfordringer og vender dem på vrangen. Skriver om vores frygt. Skriver om vores kamp for at holde os oven vande i en tid, der bliver ved med at vælte ind med ulykker. Hans dramatik er drevet af nysgerrighed og frygtløshed på en gang. Ironien er et våben. Vi har samlet en række af Christian Lollikes dramatiske tekster fra perioden 2004-2018. De tegner et billede af et Danmark efter 11. september . Med indvandrerdebatter, klimaangst, jagten på det gode liv, krig, terror, revolution. ”Her er humanistiske idealer og menneskerettigheder lagt i graven, mens deres løfter om frihed og retfærdighed spøger i et forrået og mistænksomt Europa. Her bliver drømmen om en anden fremtid holdt kunstigt i live med et udspekuleret mediemaskineri som kulturel respirator. Her lades alt håb ude.” - Anders Thrue Djurslev, fra forordet af bogen

United States Army Aviators' Equipment, 1917-1945 - C.g. Sweeting - Bog - McFarland & Co Inc - Plusbog.dk

Seven decades after World War II, we now know that the margin between Allied victory and defeat was often narrower than many realized. The decisive actions of leaders, generals and war heroes have been well documented, but less well known are the technological developments that made victory possible and laid the groundwork for postwar progress. Based on more than ten years of research, this book describes how American airmen became the best-outfitted aviators of the war, tracing the development of virtually every piece of personal equipment used by United States air forces. Drawing on original sources including formerly classified documents, the author details the myriad types of respirator equipment, parachutes, body armor, pressure suits and other flying and survival gear that were instrumental in making U.S. pilots and air crews effective. Personal anecdotes bring to life the design and testing of combat flight equipment. More than 160 photographs are included, most published here for the first time.

John Martin - Ginger Shulick Porcella - Bog - Hirmer Verlag - Plusbog.dk

John Martin - Ginger Shulick Porcella - Bog - Hirmer Verlag - Plusbog.dk

Fish become knives, alligators become saws, the artist himself becomes a Nokia phone – John Martin is one of the most fascinating contemporary Black American artists working today. The publication builds an understanding of and appreciation for his unique visual language and work outside of the arts and disability communities. John Martin was born in 1963 in Marks, Mississippi and lives and works in Oakland, California at Creative Growth Art Center. Martin creates drawings, ceramics, and woodwork that synthesize his memories of a family farm in Mississippi with his modern life in Oakland. Martin commonly depicts images of items from his collection of found objects. His interpretations both describe their function and subvert practicality through his outrageous animal mash-ups, oversized Leatherman tools, and mysterious text. His wry sense of humor is evident in all of his compositions, translating utilitarian imagery into a graphic and animated aesthetic.

Some Houses - Fredrik Lund - Bog - Fagbokforlaget - Plusbog.dk

Some Houses - Fredrik Lund - Bog - Fagbokforlaget - Plusbog.dk

Humans excel at designing and constructing technological marvels like cars and aeroplanes. Yet, when it comes to the very houses we live in, do we apply the same level of creativity and bold innovation? Or are we too constrained by notions of how we think things ought to be? In this beautiful book, architect and professor Fredrik Lund explores the concept of constructing homes that not only offer a refuge of tranquillity in our hectic, modern lives but also blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. Imagine houses with internal gardens, spaces that exist in a liminal state between inside and outside—where being indoors feels like an embrace with nature. Lund presents a unique approach to designing homes, drawing inspiration from the traditional Norwegian outbuildings, barns, and sawmills. He invites the reader into a vibrant world of unexpected delights, masterful woodwork, poetic expression, and an enhanced quality of life nestled in silence. Through his adept use of simple lines, Lund brings these houses to life, making them both accessible and vivid.

Private Collectors of Islamic Art in Late Nineteenth-Century London - Isabelle Gadoin - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Private Collectors of Islamic Art in Late Nineteenth-Century London - Isabelle Gadoin - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This book examines British collectors of so-called Persian art (a broad umbrella term then covering a large portion of Islamic art) in the late 19th century, including ceramics, metalwork, carpets, textiles and woodwork. Based on a foundational event, the very first exhibition of “Persian and Arab Art” held by a London Gentlemen’s Club in 1885, this book follows one generation of men, retracing the subtle shades of difference among “amateurs,” “connoisseurs,” “experts” and “collectors,” and exploring all the mechanisms of the construction of a collective fascination for the Orient. Isabelle Gadoin uncovers some of the first “scientific” analyses of Islamic objects and of the first private notebooks or exhibition catalogues, to provide an in-depth study of the way Westerners talked about Islamic objects and began to define what would become Islamic art history. All the while, Gadoin unravels the skein of Western prejudice, Romantic fancy, sincere admiration and ruthless appropriation, in art collecting, to write a new chapter of Orientalist history. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, history of collecting, colonialism and postcolonialism, and Orientalism.

Orient Express - - Bog - ACC Art Books - Plusbog.dk

"The Orient Express, in the collective imagination, embodies the golden age of travel. The fabrics, the silverware, the woodwork; their evocative fragrance... all contribute to this particular atmosphere, created by the best craftsmen of the time. The experience on board is absolutely unique..." - Sir Kenneth Branagh, from the foreword The first train to connect Paris to Constantinople - the gateway to the Orient and epitome of all its associated desires and fantasies - the Orient Express was an immediate success. Quickly nicknamed ''the king of trains, the train of kings'', it had already become a legend in its own time. This unique train and its celebrated passengers (both real and fictional) have become one of the great cultural icons of our times and have helped to create a limitless source of stories and fantasies to feed our imaginations. It''s a story told here through fabulous new photographs of the restoration workshops where the historic train carriages are being brought back to life, through archive photos of famous and exotic destinations, and portraits of the most famous passengers who were lucky enough to climb aboard.

Ernst Barlach - Ernst Barlach Haus Reemtsma - Bog - DruckVerlag Kettler - Plusbog.dk

Ernst Barlach - Ernst Barlach Haus Reemtsma - Bog - DruckVerlag Kettler - Plusbog.dk

As we mark the 150th anniversary of Barlach''s birth in 2020, the Ernst Barlach Haus in Hamburg pays tribute to the artist with a comprehensive overview of his wood sculptures. Starting with its own collection, the museum elaborately documented all available figures between Lübeck and Zurich with new photographs. This book is the result of this monumental project. It introduces 72 of the 84 extant wood sculptures and includes many fascinating large-format colour plates presenting the statues and their details. Wood held particular importance for Barlach as an artistic material: he regarded it as animate matter. Consequently, woodwork takes centre stage in Barlach''s artistic practice - a fact that is often obscured by the large number of mostly posthumous bronze casts of his works. Around 1907, Barlach began to explore the centuries-old medieval art of woodcarving without any prior training. The poor, the homeless, the struggling, invalids, beggars and outlaws: Barlach turned his attention to those pushed to the margins of society and paid tribute to them by placing them at the centre of his art. This book does justice to the reductive character of his forms, which gestures at simplification and a transcendence of time, by highlighting Barlach''s contemporary relevance. Text in English and German.

Europe Divided: Huguenot Refugee Art and Culture - Tessa Murdoch - Bog - V & A Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Europe Divided: Huguenot Refugee Art and Culture - Tessa Murdoch - Bog - V & A Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Tessa Murdoch , research curator of the Gilbert Collection at the V&A, presents a beautifully illustrated, wide-ranging study of Huguenot craftsmanship and trading networks in Europe Divided: Huguenot Refugee Art and Culture . This richly illustrated book focuses on the extraordinary international networks resulting from the diaspora of more than 200,000 refugees who left France in the late 17th century to join communities already in exile spread far and wide. Indeed, George Washington (along with 20 other presidents) was a descendant of Huguenots. First-generation Huguenot refugees included hundreds of trained artists, designers, and craftsmen. Beyond the French borders, they raised the quality of design and workshop practice, passing on skills to their apprentices, sons, godsons, cousins, and to successive generations, who continued to dominate output in the luxury trades. Although silver and silks are the best-known fields with which Huguenot settlers are associated, their significant contribution to architecture, ceramics, design, clock- and watchmaking, engraving, furniture, woodwork, sculpture, portraiture, and art education provides fascinating insight into the motivation and resolve of this highly skilled diaspora. Thanks to a sophisticated network of Huguenot merchants, retailers, and bankers who financed their production, their wares reached a global market. Includes color illustrations

Design Commune - Steven Johanknecht - Bog - Abrams - Plusbog.dk

Design Commune reveals the evolution of Roman Alonso and Steven Johanknecht’s acclaimed design studio, rooted firmly in the California aesthetic, ethos, and lifestyle. With an introduction by Matt Tyrnauer and in conversation with Mayer Rus “Packed with ideas: Think poppy Josef Frank textiles, botanical Marthe Armitage wallpapers, and rich woodwork.” ― Martha Stewart Living Truly multidisciplinary in practice, Commune has, since its inception in 2004, tackled all areas of design. The work featured in this book highlights all disciplines that Commune engages in, including: - Private interior design - Commercial interior spaces - Artist collaborations - Product designs - Packaging - Graphics - And more “Everybody has a voice, and just by recognizing that, the product is so much better in the end,” says Roman Alonso about the work at Commune, whose team he leads along with Steven Johanknecht. But there is one caveat about their work, he says. “Check the ego and the lawyer at the door, because otherwise you will not get a good product.” With the ethos that focuses on artistry, their group has been successful, and their work is undeniably beautiful. Its projects share many common threads, such as the influence of handcrafted materials, but each remains deeply personal and unique. Though in Los Angeles, the designers at Commune come from around the country, and around the world, and bring an artist’s perspective to their business and their style. They provide a collaboration that is truly at the crossroads between commerce and art. Oversize and overflowing with full-color photographs showcasing color and ideas, this is a book that will inspire designers with its variety, its color, and its practical artistry.

Cass Gilbert's West Virginia State Capitol - Ann Wilkins - Bog - West Virginia University Press - Plusbog.dk

Cass Gilbert's West Virginia State Capitol - Ann Wilkins - Bog - West Virginia University Press - Plusbog.dk

At the turn of the twentieth century, West Virginia was in the throes of its formative years as a state. After more than two decades of alternating its government seat between Wheeling and Charleston and the destruction of the Gothic Revival Capitol in Charleston by fire in 1921, a building commission was formed to create a permanent Capitol that would display the young state's pride, wealth, and sophistication to the entire nation. To achieve these goals, the legislature approved a budget of more than $6.5 million for the design and construction of this statehouse and the Commission appointed by the Governor hired internationally renowned Cass Gilbert as its architect. After much debate, an impressive site along the shore of the Kanawha River in Charleston was selected as its location. As one of the most influential architects of the early twentieth century, Cass Gilbert is known for structures such as the Woolworth Building, the United States Supreme Court building, and the Minnesota State Capitol. He believed architecture should reflect historic tradition and established social order, and this conservative philosophy is evinced within the classic form and proportions of the West Virginia State Capitol. As one of his final commissions, the West Virginia Capitol, with its golden ""dome of majestic proportion,"" marble interiors, ornamental reliefs, and rich woodwork, remains a distinguished example of noble simplicity in American architecture. Cass Gilbert's West Virginia State Capitol narrates the intricate story behind this architectural feat. Its close examination of the design, construction, and execution of this commission not only reveals the social, political, and financial climate of West Virginia during this period but also provides insight into the cultural importance of this public building. As Cass Gilbert's design process is traced through unpublished documentation, drawings, and letters from several archives, the over one hundred accompanying photographs - many historical and others newly commissioned for this book - divulge the subtle beauty of the Capitol complex. At the same time, an extensive analysis of historical and contemporary illustrations and primary sources further elucidates the architectural value of this structure. With welcomes by West Virginia Governor Earl Ray Tomblin and State Senator Brooks F. McCabe, Jr., a prologue by art historians Bernard Schultz and Mary L. Soldo Schultz, and an epilogue by Chad Proudfoot, this revealing and comprehensive study examines the importance of this often overlooked architectural accomplishment, solidifying its significance as a socio-political symbol as well as its place within the history of American public architecture.
